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.

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.

49ers placed TE Jordan Reed (knee) on injured reserve.

Reed's knee sprain has a 6-8 week timetable. He'll spend at least three of those weeks on IR. Reed's best case scenario is a late November return.

J. Reed - TE

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Jordan Reed (knee) could be sidelined 6-8 weeks.

Reed twisted his ankle earlier in Week 3 against the Giants, returned, and then jacked up his knee. The MetLife Stadium turf has been taking no prisoners through three weeks, and the Niners have rightfully been peeved about all the injuries they've suffered there the last two weeks against the Jets and Giants. Reed was having a nice little resurgence under Shanahan, who coached him in Washington. The good news for the 49ers is George Kittle is expected back from his own knee sprain for Week 4. It sounds like we may not see Reed until around Thanksgiving.

Jordan Reed (knee, ankle) went back to the locker room in Week 3 against the Giants.

This time Reed was walking with a much worse limp, signaling that his day is likely done. Reed was grabbing at his knee on the bench, but he also has an ankle injury from earlier in the game. The veteran tight end caught 2-of-6 passes for 23 yards through two quarters. With George Kittle (knee) expected back next week, Reed's TE2 streamer appeal will be dwindled.

Updating a previous report, Jordan Reed (ankle) returned to Week 3 against the Giants.

Reed only missed a few minutes of game play after heading to the locker room to get his ankle looked at. He was taped up and immediately drew a target after retaking the field. Reed is the best pass catcher available to coach Kyle Shanahan right now.

J. Reed - TE

49ers TE Jordan Reed (ankle) is questionable to return to Week 3 against the Giants.

Reed had a defender beat in the back of the end zone when a slightly high Nick Mullens pass forced Reed to go up for a toe dragging grab. Reed rolled his ankle and the pass went incomplete. It looks to be a standard low-ankle sprain, an injury Reed is familiar with. He was able to walk without assistance to the locker room. The 49ers were complaining about Metlife Field's turf earlier in the week. They're down to Ross Dwelley at tight end for now.

J. Reed - TE

Jordan Reed caught 7-of-8 targets for 50 yards and two scores in the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Jets.

Reed did his best George Kittle (out, knee) impression versus the Jets and it worked out quite well. He led the team with eight targets and was the only San Francisco player to score through the air. He got the starting nod in place of Kittle, who could return from his knee injury next week. If Kittle does miss extra time, Reed will become a viable streaming candidate at tight end. He'll be relegated to the bench on most downs once Kittle is healthy. Even at 30 years old, Reed appears to still have something left in the tank.

N. Foles - QB

CHI

Nick Foles (hip) is doubtful for Week 12 against the Packers.

It's just a formality from the coaching staff as Foles hasn't practiced at any point this week and inevitably won't play. Mitchell Trubisky, who has taken all of the first-string reps at practice, will reportedly get the start and have an opportunity to take that role back with a terrific performance. Unfortunately, those dominos will likely fall in an expected way since he threw three interceptions and averaged 6.5 yards per attempt in three starts to open the season. Tyler Bray will be available in case of emergency behind Trubisky on Sunday night.

The Jazz are sending Rayjon Tucker and a future second round pick to Cleveland in exchange for cash.

Tucker made just 20 appearances with the Jazz last season, averaging just 8.1 minutes. It's unclear if the Cavaliers see Tucker as part of their future as they probably had more interest in the future pick. He remains miles off the fantasy radar barring a strong training camp.

It's the same knee injury that's limited Ingram all year. Casey Hayward (groin) and Uchenna Nwosu (chest/shoulder) will also be unavailable Sunday. Some combination of Joey Bosa, Jerry Tillery and Emeke Egbule will try and resemble a pass rush against Josh Allen, who attempted 87 total passes in two games prior to Buffalo's bye. Chris Harris remains questionable to man the slot.

Texans released WR Kenny Stills.

He'll revert to waivers for a short period since the season is over halfway through. It's reportedly a mutual parting as Stills has only been locked onto for 19 targets across 25% of Houston's offensive snaps (with zero starts) all year. The Patriots, Browns, Packers, and Dolphins are among a handful of teams that could use the veteran's services down the stretch.
