Reed was added to the injury report on Thursday with a quad injury that head coach Jay Gruden later called "minor." However, with an injury history as well-documented as Reed's, any ailment that seems like a footnote deserves consideration. Practicing on Friday bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday vs. the St. Louis Rams.
Fantasy Spin: Washington will need all hands on deck in the receiving game to counterpunch a formidable Rams front seven, especially with DeSean Jackson expected to miss a few more weeks. Jackson exited Sunday's game vs. the Miami Dolphins with a hamstring injury, and Reed subsequently led the team with 11 targets, seven catches and a touchdown. His 63 yards were second to Pierre Garcon's 74.
As long as Reed is in the lineup, he is in TE1 territory, and it looks as though that will be the case once again on Sunday. With Jackson out, expect a boost to Reed’s floor.
