27-Year-Old CornerbackCB
New York Jets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Reed has been remarkably consistent over the last three years, spanning his last season in Seattle and the first two seasons of his three-year contract with the Jets. The 27-year-old cornerback has posted 9-12 passes defensed and 76-80 tackles in each of those three seasons. Reed has developed into an excellent cover corner opposite Sauce Gardner, and their strong play on the outside coupled with Michael Carter's effectiveness in the slot has helped the Jets allow the fewest yards to wide receivers in each of the past two seasons.

Reed (knee) was a full participant during practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Reed has been dealing with a lingering knee issue that he was able to play through in Week 1, but it kept him sidelined for Week 2. His ability to log a full practice Wednesday should put him in line to start Thursday against the Patriots; however, it may be worth noting he practiced in full last Friday before deciding he couldn't play against the Titans during pregame warmups.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Reed and 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner formed the NFL's most formidable cornerback duo last season, as the Jets allowed the fewest yards in the league to wide receivers. For his part, Reed had 12 passes defensed and one interception, along with 80 tackles (63 solo). The passes defensed and tackle totals both marked career highs for the 26-year-old cornerback. Reed may be even busier in 2023 if Gardner improves further and quarterbacks become more reluctant to throw at the young star.
Reed is expected to start on the outside opposite rookie fourth overall pick Ahmad Gardner after signing a three-year, $33 million contract with the Jets as a free agent. The 28-year-old cornerback had 78 tackles (62 solo), two interceptions and 10 passes defensed for Seattle last season.
Reed came off the non-football injury list and took over as the Seahawks' starting right cornerback Week 8 of last season because both Quinton Dunbar and Tre Flowers were dealing with injuries. Even when those two got healthy, Reed held down the job. The 24-year-old let up a 75.8 passer rating in coverage and finished with 62 tackles, seven pass defenses and two interceptions across 10 games. With Shaquill Griffin now in Jacksonville, Reed has a chance to become the Seahawks' top corner. At the very least, Reed is in line for a full-time role on defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible 2025 target for Vikings
CBNew York Jets
June 30, 2024
Alec Lewis of The Athletic views Reed as one of Minnesota's top potential targets in the 2024 offseason.
ANALYSIS
Reed has been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in the two seasons since he signed a three-year contract with the Jets, but with arguably the league's best cornerback already under contract in Sauce Gardner and young nickel cornerback Michael Carter set to hit free agency at the same time as Reed after the 2024 season, Reed could be the odd man out in New York's secondary. Signing Reed as a free agent would help the Vikings address a need in the secondary, but Reed's likely to have a robust market in free agency if his 2024 campaign is as strong as his previous two seasons.
