Jayden Reed

"Golden's arrival lowers Reed's ceiling"

"

Reed has been the team's most productive receiver for the past two years, but his archetype is more akin to a strong 1-B to a classic 1-A like Nico Collins. In a Packers offense that has had 3-4 startable options at receiver, Reed hasn't needed to be the classic primary option. 

Matthew Golden isn't that classic WR1, either. Savion Williams looks like one, and he might develop into one. There's also a chance he could wind up a starting running back one day. 

As long as the Packers have multiple strong receiver options, it won't matter. They do this year and the margins between the top 2-3 receivers should remain close. Even so, Reed should lead the receivers in rushing, receptions, yards, and likely, TDs.

Jayden Reed is a very good player paired with Jordan Love in a Matt LaFleur-led offense. While his snap percentages leave a bit to be desired and limit his season-long ceiling somewhat, his weekly ceiling remains very high. That's fun in best ball. LaFleur utilizes Reed lined up in the backfield, on handoffs, pop passes, in motion, etc. He's an important chess piece who will continue to play a big role in 2025.
