10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 2
Jordan Reed, TE, Washington Redskins
Jordan Reed might be back, you guys.
In 2013, his Reception NEP per target of 0.95 topped the position among 30 tight ends with at least 50 targets (Reed had 59 that year). He has all the tools to be a valuable fantasy tight end, and now he's got even more opportunity without DeSean Jackson in the mix.
In Week 1, Reed saw 11 targets -- tied for second most at the position -- and turned them into 7 catches for 63 yards and a touchdown.
Washington is a 3.5-point home underdog, so they could be throwing late in the game. That's just more opportunity for the athletic Reed, our eighth-ranked tight end on the week.
