Washington is calling Jordan Reed questionable to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14.
Reed is dealing with a shoulder injury suffered in Week 12 that led to him missing Week 13. He has been limited in practice this week, but he would not need a full practice load in order to play Sunday.
Reed is too important to Washington’s offense, as evidenced by its 1-4 record without him since 2015. If he misses this game, backup Vernon Davis would be a tempting fantasy play this week. He has put up solid numbers while backing up Reed, but his value skyrockets when Reed is out.
Fantasy Impact: If Reed is active, Yahoo! ranks him as the 17th-best tight end in Week 14. He would face an Eagles defense allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season.
As long as Reed plays, keep him in your starting lineup, but he looks like a true game-time decision, so make sure to have a replacement ready if he is inactive.
