The Facts:
Reed has recovered from the concussion symptoms that ended his rookie season prematurely, and he is back to training in preparation for his second NFL season.
Reported by the Washington Times
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Post staffer Mike Jones suggests, Reed very well could take over as the starting tight end, although Logan Paulsen also is no slouch. Jones went on to explain that while Reed is a versatile pass catcher, Paulsen is more complete as a blocker, and also has the ability to line up at fullback. We can probably expect to see a number of formations that feature both of them on the field at the same time, just as we did last season. Remember, former tight ends coach Sean McVay is now the offensive coordinator, so if anyone knows how to maximize Reed and Paulsen’s talents, it’s him. New HC Jay Gruden obviously will be heavily involved in the running of the offense, but his schemes in the passing game had a lot of similarities to Washington’s under Kyle Shanahan. Gruden’s playbook did play well to the strengths of tight end Jermaine Gresham, who last season recorded 46 catches for 461 yards (fourth on the Bengals’ roster) and four touchdowns. ... From a fantasy perspective, the question for owners will be whether Reed's obvious talent and ability outweigh concerns about his concussion history.
