J. Reed - TE

Jordan Reed caught 2-of-5 targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers Week 15 loss to the Cowboys.

Reed is now averaging 5.2 targets per game across his previous five contests but only has one day above 32 yards in that span. If George Kittle is out for the 49ers' Week 16 matchup with the Cardinals, Reed would have some TE2 appeal. If he is able to return, Reed can safely be cut by fantasy managers.

J. Reed - TE

Jordan Reed caught 2-of-5 targets for 13 yards in the 49ers' Week 14 loss to the Football Team.

Reed couldn't get anything going against his former team. Nick Mullens threw a couple "hospital balls" to Reed, who watched the passes sail high and wide. Reed is running more pass routes and seeing more targets than fellow Niners tight end Ross Dwelley. He should be a streaming option in Week 15 against the Cowboys.

Jordan Reed ran 24 routes while Ross Dwelley ran 10 routes in Week 13 against the Bills.

Reed caught 3-of-4 targets for 32 yards and a late score against Buffalo. Dwelley caught both of his targets for 29 yards. Reed -- who has ten targets over his past two games -- is far and away the team's primary pass catching tight end with George Kittle (foot) sidelined. Fantasy managers can continue deploying Reed as a streaming option in Week 14 against Washington.

Jordan Reed caught 3-of-4 targets for 32 yards and one touchdown in the 49ers' Week 13 loss to the Bills.

Ross Dwelley was targeted twice with George Kittle still out of the lineup. Reed secured a garbage-time five-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to save his box score. He'll be a back-end TE1/2 for Week 14 against Washington, his former team.

J. Reed - TE

Jordan Reed ran 25 pass routes while Ross Dwelley ran 10 routes in Week 12 against the Rams.

Reed drew six targets, catching two for 18 yards. Dwelley caught one of two targets for three yards. Nick Mullens missed a wide-open Reed in the first half on what would have been a long gain down the middle of the field -- an errant throw that had Reed fuming on the sideline afterward. Reed is far and away the preferred fantasy option among Niners tight ends until George Kittle returns to the lineup.

Jordan Reed caught 2-of-6 targets for 18 yards in San Francisco's Week 12 win over the Rams.

That makes back-to-back games with six targets for Reed since he returned to being a full-time player on passing downs. Although his overall production wasn't impressive on Sunday, Week 13 sets up well considering the Bills have permitted the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. He'll be a top streamer off the waiver wire in that one.

J. Reed - TE

Jordan Reed ran 22 pass routes to Ross Dwelley's 18 routes in the 49ers' Week 10 loss to the Saints.

Pass routes being an important metric for tight end usage in fantasy football, it's good to see Reed further worked into the team's offensive game plan. Reed lined up in the slot or outside on 23 of his 31 snaps, drawing six targets -- second on the team behind Brandon Aiyuk. Reed could be a reliable streaming option for as long as George Kittle (foot) is out.

J. Reed - TE

Jordan Reed caught 5-of-6 targets for 62 yards in the 49ers' Week 10 loss to the Saints.

Reed was the clear-cut pass catching tight end for the 49ers over Ross Dwelley; only Brandon Aiyuk saw more targets than Reed in Week 10. There's a chance George Kittle won't return this season, so Reed should be picked up in all tight end premium leagues and played as a streaming option in 12-teamers. Next week Reed will take on a Rams defense that allows 5.5 tight end receptions per game.

J. Reed - TE

Jordan Reed caught 1-of-2 targets for three yards in the 49ers' Week 9 loss to the Packers.

Adjusting to life without George Kittle — or really any of their offensive regulars — the 49ers found Reed and Ross Dwelley for just four combined catches. The problem for Reed is that three of them belonged to Dwelley. We would assume that Reed, who was playing well before landing on injured reserve with a knee injury, will probably take the going forward targets lead over Dwelley, but Dwelley remaining involved in any fashion would kneecap Reed's TE2 value catching passes from Nick Mullens. Reed has 10 days to rest up for a Week 10 date with the Saints before the 49ers' bye.

J. Reed - TE

49ers TE Jordan Reed (Knee) will be activated from injured reserve and play Thursday night against the 49ers.

On IR since early October, Reed looks like a go for Thursday Night Football. This complicates the Niners' tight end situation and likely makes Ross Dwelley -- who had a touchdown last week after George Kittle went down to injury -- unusable for fantasy purposes. Reed saw 14 targets in two games without Kittle in September. Assuming he gets a full share of snaps and pass routes -- a big assumption -- Reed profiles as a solid streaming option for tight end needy fantasy players.

Jordan Reed (knee) was "limited" for Tuesday's practice.

With George Kittle landing on injured reserve, Reed's health has taken on increased importance. If Reed can get cleared for Thursday night's game against the Packers, he will offer low-end, plug-and-play TE1 potential vs. a struggling defense. If Reed doesn't go, Ross Dwelley will be the Niners' primary pass catcher up the seam.

49ers designated TE Jordan Reed (knee) to return from injured reserve.

Reed went down in Week 3 with a knee sprain that was expected to cost him 6-8 weeks. He seems to be making good progress. The 49ers now have 21 days to activated Reed or shut him down for the year.

C. Walker - 1B

ARI

Christian Walker was removed from Sunday's game and is not playing Monday due to "normal aches and pains," per Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo.

It sounds like this is about giving the struggling Walker a day to clear his head more than anything else. Asdrubal Cabrera is at first base.

Cubs selected RHP Pedro Strop as a replacement player from their alternate training site.

Per a new roster exemption this year, a player can be temporarily added to a team's 40-man roster to replace a player going on the COVID-19 injured list and then later removed without going through the waiver process. Strop will help out a bullpen that's without three members.

Kelly Oubre (wrist) will not play on Monday vs. Denver.

It'll be the second straight game on the sidelines for Oubre, which should result in another start for Kent Bazemore and additional minutes for Jordan Poole and Damion Lee. The Dubs play again on Wednesday in OKC, but that one will be the first of a back-to-back, so it's plausible that Oubre will need to miss one more game. He's a risky guy to deploy in weekly leagues.
