Washington tight end Jordan Reed is dealing with a hamstring injury and is questionable for Monday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Reed practiced some this past week, but he missed practice on Saturday and was given the questionable designation. That's supposed to denote a 50 percent chance of playing.

Many think Reed will miss at least one more game, ESPN's John Keim among them. With hamstring injuries, teams typically try and play it safe, as they usually pose the greatest risk for re-injury if players come back before they're ready. Niles Paul, who is dealing with a concussion, is expected to play in the game and start in place of Reed. It's going to be a tough matchup against the defending Super Bowl champions.
Fantasy Impact: Reed has a ton of fantasy potential, but owners waiting to decide between him and his handcuff, Paul, should take note. Said fantasy owners have gone this far and can wait for the inactives list if they want, but it would be a big surprise if Reed found his way onto the field on Monday.
