News: The Washington Examiner reports that Redskins rookie tight end Jordan Reed did not participate in the rookie minicamp because he said he’s still recovering from a bone bruise in his knee. Coach Mike Shanahan said Reed also had a pulled quad, which resulted in soreness in his knee. They’re hopeful he’ll be able to work in a “couple weeks” Shanahan said.
Analysis: Reed, who played in college at Florida, led the Gators in receiving with 45 catches for 559 yards last year. Reed has minimal Fantasy value this season in standard leagues, but he could be a solid Fantasy option in 2014 when Fred Davis is potentially gone after signing a one-year deal. Reed could be a tight end in the mold of Aaron Hernandez, who is not traditional and plays almost like a receiver. He's a great tight end to target with a mid-round pick in dynasty only leagues.
News: The Redskins have selected tight end Jordan Reed of Florida in the third round of the NFL Draft. The Redskins chose Reed with the 85th overall pick Friday night. Reed is 6-foot-2 and weighs 236 pounds. He was recruited as a quarterback by Florida, but he was moved to tight end in 2011. Last year he led the Gators in receiving with 45 catches for 559 yards. The choice was somewhat of a surprise because the Redskins are well-stocked at tight end with Fred Davis, Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen.
