Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed will be entering his second season in the NFL. He was a second-round pick from Michigan State and was productive for Green Bay during his rookie season. Reed played in 16 games a season ago for the Packers.
He caught 64 passes for 793 yards receiving and eight touchdowns, along with averaging 12.4 yards per catch. Reed was targeted 94 times last season. The Packers also used him in the ground game. He had 11 carries for 119 yards rushing and three touchdowns. The former Michigan State Spartans wide receiver averaged 10.8 yards per carry.
It will be interesting to see what Reed will do during his second NFL season. No wide receivers on the Packers roster a season ago went over 1,000 yards receiving.

With a lot of uncertainty about who Jordan Love may throw the football to this season, it may feel like a risky bet to bet over 760.5 yards for Reed this season. However, he might be the most reliable target for him this season. Someone at some point will need to emerge as the top playmaker for Green Bay. Even though the odds are the same for the over and the under, bet the over because Reed will be on the field and he doesn’t seem to be injury-prone.
