The Facts: Dogged by injuries over his first two years with the Redskins, including lingering soreness that limited him during the team’s offseason workouts, Reed spent the last two months overhauling his diet with the hope that it will help his body withstand the rigors of the season. “I think once I stay healthy and be able to play 16 games, I could [add] a lot more production for this offense,” Reed said.

Diehards Line: In June, Reed received a stem cell treatment on his ailing left knee, which hadn’t felt quite right since his final season at Florida in 2013. That left him unable to participate in the team’s on-field workouts, and it wasn’t until a few weeks before training camp opened that he was once again cleared to run. The talent is there. Though he’s played in only 20 of 32 games since arriving in Washington, the 6-2, 237-pound Reed creates significant match-up problems and adds another dimension to the offense. Still, Reed played approximately 35 percent of all snaps last season, mostly because of his assortment of injuries and managing his recovery. If he can stay on the field, all of those persistent questions may finally be put to rest. He'll also provide great fantasy value if he can pull that off -- still a pretty big if at this point.
