Jordan Reed: Start

Another vital piece to the success of Gruden’s offenses during his time, Reed has had a slow start to the 2018 campaign. That should change this Sunday. Alex Smith has had prime Vernon Davis and Travis Kelce during his time in the NFL and found some of his best success when going to those weapons.

Last week, Reed didn’t see a target until about midway through the second quarter and ended the day with six receptions for 55 yards. However, his value was hurt due to a fumble which was recovered by the Colts. The targets have been there for Reed with eight last week. I predict he sees another 10-13 including some red zone shots that could give Reed a score or two. You can’t keep a weapon like Reed silent for too long and this week could be the coming out party fantasy owners have been waiting for.

Jimmy Graham: Start

Graham came to Green Bay looking to get back to the production he saw in New Orleans in his early days. Last week he did just that. Totaling 95 yards on six catches, Graham faces a defense that has always struggled to stop tight ends in the past.

Graham will be Rodgers go-to guy over the middle of the field and could see plenty of red-zone work for the Pack. Should he get in rhythm early, he could take over the game and burn the Redskins. Start Graham who has a high floor and a high ceiling for the Packers on Sunday.
