TE – Washington Redskins, Week 2 & 12

In three seasons in the NFL Redskins tight end Jordan Reed hasn’t played a full season. Injuries have haunted and hindered his career. When healthy though, he’s performed as one of the best tight ends in the league.

A partnership between Reed and quarterback Kirk Cousins developed at a rate last season. Reed became the go to receiving threat, with 11 touchdowns to his name. While he may not reach those levels again statistically at least in 2016 his ability to hurt a team remains.

Reed will be supported by Vernon Davis this year, a free agent acquisition for the Redskins. Off the back of a Super Bowl victory with the Broncos, the journeyman will bring some much needed experience to their young roster.
