The Facts: While he was productive -- 54 catches in 13 games -- he did not have the explosion he usually does. Although he did not participate in OTAs this spring, Reed was able to train in an offseason rather than rehab for the first time in three years. He will allow this after just a few days of practice: "My feet are definitely getting stronger, way stronger than last year," he said. "I feel more explosive, and I feel a lot better."
Diehards Line:
The Redskins' passing game centers on Reed. In 2015, he caught 87 passes for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 games. In the following two seasons, he missed 14 games. He dealt with the toe issue in the 2016 season and opened the '17 season on the physically unable to perform list because of inflammation in the big toe on his right foot. He needed a stem-cell shot, but that didn't help. Orthotics didn't help. The pain lingered throughout the season, affecting his ability to cut, and he needed surgery on both big toes after the season. The result: Reed couldn't even start running until late July last year. This year's he's clearly ahead of that curve. It's something fantasy owners should note given his current (very low) ADP.
