Start ’em: Jordan Reed, TE, Washington
After opening the season with a strong performance against Miami, with seven catches for 63 yards and a score, Reed looks like a TE1 the rest of the way in 2015, even against a tough defense like the St. Louis Rams.
However, the athletic pass-catching tight end scared fantasy owners with a quad injury this week during practice. Head coach Jay Gruden views it as a “minor injury,” though, and Reed was back at practice on Friday.
With receiver DeSean Jackson out with an injury of his own, look for quarterback Kirk Cousins to look Reed’s way early and often as his security blanket against a brutal front four at home this Sunday against St. Louis.
