Reed did manage to practice this week, and was a limited participant all three days with his hamstring injury.
Jordan Reed injury update: Washington TE questionable; risky fantasy play for Week 6
Washington tight end Jordan Reed is questionable for Week 6 with a hamstring injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

Reed has played in just one game thus far this season, the season opener against the Houston Texans. In that game he caught one pass for four yards. Meanwhile, Washington has gone 1-4 on the season though his replacement, Niles Paul, has played well. Paul has 22 receptions for 319 yards and a touchdown on the year. Whatever the case, Reed does seem likely to suit up for this game.
Fantasy Impact: Reed projects as one of the top tight ends in the league when it comes to fantasy potential, but he obviously has been unable to do anything thus far this season. He seems likely to play, but if he really is a game-time decision, then the fact that he doesn’t play until Sunday’s later games is definitely an issue. However, if fantasy owners are trying to decide between Reed and Paul, they can manage the wait.
