8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 1
Jordan Reed, TE, Washington Redskins
FanDuel Price: $5,400
Projected Points: 10.00
After dealing with a series of injuries during his first two NFL seasons, Jordan Reed broke out last year with an average of 11.23 fantasy points per game.
He led all tight ends with 6.4 receptions per game, and his 0.8 touchdowns per game were tied with Gronkowski for the best at the position. Reed received 26.97% of Washington’s red zone targets, which was a higher share than any other tight end in the league.
He led the Redskins in receptions last season, and our projections have him keeping that trend going against the Steelers' defense, which gave up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing primary tight ends.
