ANDY BEHRENS: Folks, it is a matter of some urgency that we get the roster percentage for Jayden Reed up over 50%. I'm running out of things to say about him.
He's the Packers' leading receiver. He has the most receiving yards on the season for the Green Bay Packers. He has 6 touchdowns. He has 36 catches. He is, in all likelihood, the guy who should have the highest roster percentage among any Packers receivers.
He did it again on Thanksgiving, found the end zone again. He seems to do it every week. This is a guy you need to get on rosters. As you look ahead down the stretch run, it's nothing but favorable matchups for him. He's got Kansas City coming up, which, OK, tough defense, but that's going to be a pass-heavy game script, in all likelihood.
After that, it's the Giants, it's the Bucs, it's the Panthers, it's the Vikings. These are all friendly spots for Green Bay. Get Jayden Reed on a roster. While you're at it, let's get Jordan Love on more rosters too.
Elsewhere, Pat Freiermuth, this was a heck of a week from him. After a quiet week in his return from injury a couple of weeks ago, all he did was catch nine balls on 11 targets, 120 yards against the Bengals.
Not a lot of scoring in that game, but all the fantasy stats there belonged, basically, to Freiermuth. You can regard him as a rest-of-season tight end one. There isn't a bad match-up ahead on the schedule for the Steelers.
