5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 4
Jordan Reed Became the Fastest Tight End in NFL History to 200 Catches
Jordan Reed reached the career milestone in 38 games, one better than Kellen Winslow Sr. Reed finished last season second among tight ends with 87 receptions, and he currently leads the position with 25 grabs through the first four games of this season.
He turned his 9 catches on Sunday into 73 yards and 2 touchdowns for a total of 19.30 fantasy points.
After a slow start -- he averaged 6.33 fantasy points per game through his first three games -- Reed now ranks 3rd among tight ends with 38.30 fantasy points on the season.
Last game, he returned to being the top receiving option for Washington. He now has seven more targets and seven more receptions than his next closest teammate in either category. Reed set a team record with 952 receiving yards last season, and he is on pace to top 1,000 this year if he can stay healthy. That could be a big if as he has never played more than 14 games in a single season during his three-year career.
The Baltimore Ravens, who haven’t seen any opposing tight end targeted more than five times this season, will provide a tough test for Reed in Week 5.
