Washington has ruled out Jordan Reed vs. the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.
Jordan Reed injury update: TE out for Washington, fantasy owners
Jordan Reed’s shoulder injury has fantasy owners scrambling as the playoffs begin.

Reed is battling a shoulder injury suffered in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. It came on Thanksgiving as Reed separated his shoulder in the first half, but returned to play in the second half.
Reed did not practice at all this week, so he already looks iffy for Week 14 and beyond. His history of being injury prone will leave fantasy owners even more nervous heading into the playoffs.
It also is a big loss to a Washington offense that relies heavily on him. He leads the team with 59 catches to go with 630 yards and five scores.
Fantasy Impact: As long as Reed is out, Washington will rely heavily on Vernon Davis as their top tight end. Davis has been fantasy relevant even while being No. 2 behind Reed, so one would think he could be a TE1 with Reed sidelined.
