The Washington football team will be without tight end Jordan Reed on Sunday, according to Mark Long of the Associated Press. The news comes from quarterback Robert Griffin III, who called Reed a "big loss" and a "great player." Reed is dealing with a hamstring injury sustained in the season opener against the Houston Texans, and head coach Jay Gruden recently said that Reed could be out for "some time."

That’s disappointing for Reed, a third-round pick in 2013 who looked solid last season but played in only nine games. Reed caught 45 passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns last season, but had just one reception for 4 yards before sustaining his injury against Houston.
Fantasy Impact: Reed was never billed as a TE1 when it comes to fantasy football, but he was seen as a potential high-impact guy with a lot of room to break out. That's still possible, but it it will take a little while if it's going to happen at all. Fans can expect him to miss at least Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. There's not a ton of potential for his backup, Logan Paulsen, to perform in his absence.
