Josh Reynolds Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Dolphins vs Jets game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 25, 2025
Lands on injured reserve
The Jets placed Reynolds (hip) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds appeared on Friday's injury report due to a hip injury. Not only has he been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but the injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on IR for the veteran wide receiver. Reynolds will be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 13 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 30 the earliest he is eligible to return. With Reynolds on IR and Garrett Wilson (knee) ruled out for Week 8, the Jets' wide receiver corps will consist of Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams and Brandon Smith.
Oct 25, 2025
Won't play Week 8
Reynolds (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to a hip issue, and the injury is severe enough for him to not travel with the team to Cincinnati. With Reynolds and Garrett Wilson (knee) both ruled out for Week 8, the Jets' wide receiver corps will consist of rookie fourth-rounder Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson and Isaiah Williams. The Jets are on a bye for Week 9, so Reynolds will have additional time to recover ahead of Week 10 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 9.
Oct 24, 2025
Questionable after Friday's DNP
Reynolds (hip) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday, but his status for Sunday is in question due to a hip injury, which has bothered him throughout the season. If the veteran wide receiver suits up, he could work as the de facto top wideout in the continued absence of Garrett Wilson (knee). The Jets haven't revealed whether Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor (knee) will start at quarterback Sunday.
Oct 20, 2025
Ugly showing on nine targets
Reynolds recorded three receptions on nine targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds led the team in targets in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), though he couldn't translate that into production with either Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields. Reynolds' longest catch of the day went for only 12 yards, and he was also the target on both of Taylor's interceptions in the game. Even if Wilson remains sidelined in Week 8 against the Bengals, Reynolds will be an unreliable fantasy contributor.
Oct 17, 2025
Cleared to face Panthers
Reynolds (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds is good to go after logging a full practice Friday. He's expected to work as the team's top wide receiver since Garrett Wilson (knee) is doubtful, but Reynolds' upside is capped by Justin Fields' limitations as a passer. Fields threw for only 45 yards in the Jets' Week 6 loss to the Broncos, which dropped the Jets to 0-6.
Oct 17, 2025
Set for full practice
Reynolds (hip) is expected to practice without limitations Friday, per head coach Aaron Glenn, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
If Reynolds is a full participant in practice Friday, he may avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That would be a welcome sight for a Jets passing game that's expected to be without top wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee). Other candidates for additional opportunities at wide receiver include Arian Smith, Allen Lazard and Tyler Johnson.
Oct 16, 2025
Progresses to limited participation
Reynolds (hip) upgraded to limited practice participation Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to practice Thursday was a welcome sight for a Jets team that's expected to be without Garrett Wilson (knee) against the Panthers on Sunday. Reynolds is less than fully healthy himself but could work as the top option in the Jets' underwhelming receiving corps if he gains clearance to suit up Sunday.
Oct 16, 2025
Spotted at practice Thursday
Reynolds (hip) is participating in the early portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds missed practice Wednesday due to a hip injury, but he's returning to at least limited activity levels Thursday. With Garrett Wilson (knee) not spotted at practice again and looking uncertain for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Reynolds could be positioned as the Jets' de facto No. 1 wide receiver if he manages to suit up Week 7. Behind Reynolds, New York has Arian Smith, Allen Lazard and Tyler Johnson available, though given none of those four have yet reached 100 receiving yards this season, RB Breece Hall and TE Mason Taylor look like the more predictable beneficiaries of increased target volume if Wilson misses any time.
Oct 15, 2025
Will miss practice Wednesday
Reynolds (hip) won't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Garrett Wilson dealing with a knee injury that threatens his Week 7 availability, Reynolds' status gains import ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers. The wideout now has two more chances to practice before the Jets post injury designations Friday, but if Wilson is sidelined versus Carolina, Reynolds -- if active -- could see an expanded role this weekend. The Jets' other rostered WRs are Arian Smith, Allen Lazard and Tyler Johnson, while the team currently has five wideouts on the practice squad.
Oct 12, 2025
Paces pass catchers in loss
Reynolds secured all three targets for 25 yards in the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout accounted for more than half of Justin Fields' paltry 45 passing yards on the day while tying for the team lead in receptions and setting the pace in targets. Reynolds now has back-to-back three-catch efforts following a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury and a Week 4 blanking in his return, but until the Jets are able to put together a semblance of a consistent passing attack, his fantasy outlook will remain relatively bleak.
Oct 5, 2025
Three grabs in Sunday's loss
Reynolds caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys. He also caught a two-point conversion.
ANALYSIS
While his numbers were modest, Reynolds was the only New York wideout aside from Garrett Wilson (6-71-1 on 10 targets) to catch more than one pass or see more than two targets on the afternoon. The 30-year-old journeyman is on his sixth team in the last six seasons, but there could be an opportunity with the Jets to carve out a consistent role, as the team lacks downfield threats aside from Wilson and rookie tight end Mason Taylor. Reynolds will look to build on this performance in Week 6 against the Broncos.
Sep 30, 2025
Returns to two targets Monday
Reynolds (hamstring) had no receptions on two targets in Monday's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds returned from a hamstring injury that he suffered back in Week 1. The veteran wideout resumed his unappealing role as the Jets' No. 2 receiver behind Garrett Wilson (6-82-1), but he still finished in a tie for fourth in targets while failing to record a reception. While Reynolds is technically a starter for the Jets, he is not involved enough offensively to generate fantasy appeal even in a soft matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.
Sep 26, 2025
Returns to full practice
Reynolds (hamstring) practiced fully Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds is thus on pace to return from a two-game absence when the Jets face the Dolphins on Monday. The veteran pass-catcher logged a 97 percent snap share and two catches on three targets for 18 yards in Week 1, but in his looming return he'll need to compete with Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard for WR targets that don't go to clear-cut top option Garrett Wilson.
Sep 25, 2025
Logs limited practice Thursday
Reynolds (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds has missed the Jets' previous two games, but his return to practice Thursday puts the veteran wideout on track to play Monday night against the Dolphins. Reynolds has minimal fantasy value in the Jets' low-volume passing game.
Sep 25, 2025
On track to practice Thursday
Reynolds (hamstring) is in line to practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After logging a 97 percent snap share and two catches on three targets for 18 yards in Week 1, Reynolds missed the Jets' last two games. The wideout's looming return to practice suggests that he could be available Monday night against the Dolphins, but thus far this season Garrett Wilson has been the team's only WR of note from a fantasy perspective.
Sep 19, 2025
Ruled out for Week 3
Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Reynolds (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
With Reynolds set to miss his second straight game, Garrett Wilson will continue to lead the Jets' pass-catching corps Sunday, with Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard available to handle WR targets from QB Tyrod Taylor that don't go Wilson's way. Reynolds' next chance to see game action will arrive Sept. 29 against the Dolphins.
Sep 18, 2025
Sidelined again Thursday
Reynolds (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds has now missed back-to-back practices due to the hamstring injury that forced him to sit out the Jets' loss to the Bills in Week 2. Unless he's able to retake the practice field Friday, Reynolds looks on track to miss Sunday's road game against the Buccaneers.
Sep 17, 2025
Still not practicing
Reynolds (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds hasn't practiced since last Thursday, putting him potentially at risk of missing a second consecutive game and being forced to sit out Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, in which Tyrod Taylor is slated to start in place of an injured Justin Fields (concussion). When healthy Week 1, Reynolds secured two of three targets for 18 yards while playing 97 percent of offensive snaps.
Sep 12, 2025
Won't play vs. Bills
Reynolds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds didn't practice Thursday or Friday due to his hamstring injury. His absence will open up playing time at wide receiver for Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard behind Garrett Wilson.
Sep 11, 2025
DNP due to hamstring Thursday
Reynolds (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Reynolds, who played 97 percent of snaps on offense in Week 1 against the Steelers and wasn't on Wednesday's injury report. If Reynolds is unable to play Sunday against the Steelers, that could pave the way for Allen Lazard to make his season debut.
Sep 7, 2025
Two catches in Jets debut
Reynolds caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was one of three Jets wide receivers to register a catch, along with Garrett Wilson (seven catches for 95 yards) and Tyler Johnson (two catches for 31 yards). Reynolds is the nominal No. 2 wide receiver in New York, but the Jets are unlikely to get much production from the position besides Wilson.
Jul 28, 2025
Clear favorite for No. 2 WR role
Reynolds is "the clear-cut leader" to be the Jets' No. 2 wide receiver, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss.
ANALYSIS
Reports from June minicamp marked Reynolds as the early leader, ahead of Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, Malachi Corley and others. Reynolds apparently has reinforced that notion in the early days of training camp, regularly making plays with the first-team offense. He's 30 years old and has never topped 618 receiving yards in a season, but Reynolds does have 55 NFL starts to his name.
Jun 13, 2025
Early lead for No. 2 role
Reynolds showcased impressive chemistry with quarterback Justin Fields at mandatory minicamp and is the early favorite to secure the No. 2 receiver role behind Garrett Wilson, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds' early rapport with Fields and willingness to contribute as a blocker in the run game have made a good impression on head coach Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, currently giving him an advantage over Allen Lazard for the top receiver gig behind Wilson. Of course, Glenn and Engstrand seem likely to import something similar to the run-heavy approach deployed during their time together in Detroit, which would be suited to Fields' skill set. That may leave few targets left up for grabs for wideouts other than Wilson, especially with Breece Hall's presence as a capable pass catcher out of the backfield and the addition of rookie second-round TE Mason Taylor. In deeper fantasy formats, locking up the No. 2 role will at least give Reynolds a realistic path to having spike weeks in 2025.
Mar 27, 2025
Headed to New York
The Jets signed Reynolds on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Reynolds' agreement with the Jets is a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. The 30-year-old is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he combined for 13 catches for 194 yards and a TD over the course of nine games (five with Denver and four with Jacksonville). With New York, Reynolds will have an opportunity to compete for targets behind top option Garrett Wilson in a wideout corps that also includes Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, Malachi Corley and Tyler Johnson. A fantasy bounce-back could be in store for Reynolds this coming season should he secure steady snaps, which for now -- based on his new team's current roster -- is a plausible outcome.
Mar 7, 2025
Officially released by Jacksonville
The Jaguars officially released Reynolds on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Jacksonville officially cut both Reynolds and tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) on Friday, clearing additional cap space before the start of free agency and the legal tampering period next week. Reynolds' release will free up roughly $4.26 million in cap space. The veteran wideout joined the Jaguars as a waiver claim last December, ultimately securing one of five targets for 11 yards across four regular-season appearances with the team.
Mar 6, 2025
Let go by Jacksonville
Reynolds was released by the Jaguars on Thursday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
The wide receiver was claimed by the Jags in December after being waived by Denver, per Tomasson. Reynolds only caught one pass for 11 yards in four games with Jacksonville after grabbing 12 for 183 and a score in five contests with the Broncos. The 2017 fourth-round pick of the Rams initially signed a two-year deal with Denver last offseason after playing out a two-year contract with Detroit.
Jan 6, 2025
Three targets Week 18
Reynolds secured one of three targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver and caught his first pass since being claimed off waivers from the Broncos in early December, but he had a minor role in the passing game. Reynolds totaled 13 receptions for 194 yards and one touchdown in nine games between Denver and Jacksonville this season. He's under contract for $3.99 million for next season but may not be retained by the Jaguars since that money isn't guaranteed.
Dec 16, 2024
Minor role in Jacksonville debut
Reynolds failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old made his debut for the Jaguars after being claimed off waivers Dec. 4, but he didn't see much action in the passing game while working as the No. 4 wideout. Reynolds' role isn't likely to change much down the stretch if Brian Thomas, Parker Washington and Devin Duvernay remain healthy.
Dec 8, 2024
Inactive Sunday
Reynolds is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Per Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union, Reynolds, who didn't practice with the Jaguars until Thursday, figures to make his debut with the team next weekend against the Jets. On Sunday, Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Devin Duvernay, Tim Jones and Joshua Cephus are available to handle Jacksonville's wideout duties.
Dec 4, 2024
Claimed by Jacksonville
The Jaguars claimed Reynolds off waivers Wednesday, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds had a top-three role for Denver in September but then dropped down the depth chart after a Week 5 finger fracture send him to injured reserve. He's seemingly healthy again and now lands with one of the few teams that may be weak enough at wide receiver to give him a shot as a starter. The Jaguars lost Christian Kirk (shoulder) and Gabe Davis (knee) to season-ending injuries over the past month, leaving Parker Washington, Devin Duvernay and Tim Jones as the choices to start at WR alongside rookie standout Brian Thomas.
Dec 3, 2024
Cut by Denver
The Broncos waived Reynolds (hand) on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds hadn't played since Week 5 due to a fractured finger that required surgery, but he was a full participant in every practice since being designated for return from injured reserve Nov. 13. Though he's seemingly healthy again, Reynolds' 21-day evaluation window came to a close this week, and Denver didn't have an opening for him on the 53-man roster. The Broncos are seemingly comfortable with the strides that young receivers Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims have made in recent weeks behind No. 1 option Courtland Sutton and were content to move on with Reynolds, who should be able to catch on elsewhere. Reynolds is in the first season of a two-year, $9 million contract, so he may clear waivers first before a team brings him aboard at a more palatable salary. The 29-year-old turned in a 12-183-1 receiving line on 19 targets over his five appearances with Denver before landing on IR.
Dec 2, 2024
Downgraded to out for MNF
Reynolds (hand) has been downgraded to out for Monday night's game against the Browns, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds will not be activated from injured reserve in time for Monday night's contest. The Broncos had listed Reynolds as questionable on Saturday's final injury report. In Reynolds' absence, the Broncos will continue to roll with Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims at wide receiver. Reynolds' next chance to play will be in Week 15 against the Colts following Denver's Week 14 bye.
Nov 30, 2024
Trending in right direction
Reynolds (hand) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Browns after logging a third straight full participation in practice.
ANALYSIS
This was the third straight week Reynolds practiced in complete fashion and the veteran is nearing the end of his 21-day activation window, so it's possible the team could activate the veteran ahead of Monday's contest. The Broncos are relatively healthy at wide receiver, but Reynolds could see snaps over Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims should he be activated.
Nov 22, 2024
Not returning in Week 12
Reynolds (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
For a second consecutive week, Reynolds was listed as a full participant on all three Broncos injury reports. However, he won't be activated from injured reserve just yet as he continues to ramp things up since fracturing a finger Week 5 against the Raiders. His next chance to suit up is Monday, Dec. 2 versus the Browns.
Nov 15, 2024
Won't be activated Week 11
Reynolds (hand) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds won't be activated from injured reserve for Denver's Week 11 home game against the Falcons, but he was a full participant in practice all week after having his 21-day window to return opened Wednesday. Given that context, it wouldn't be surprising to see the wide receiver return to action in Week 12 against the Raiders, though Reynolds would first have to be added to the roster with an official transaction before he can suit up for a game.
Nov 13, 2024
Returns to practice
Reynolds (finger) returned to practice Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos placed Reynolds on injured reserve Oct. 12 due to a fractured finger. He then suffered minor injuries in a shooting a week later, but that doesn't seem to have impacted his return timeline, with the Broncos designated him for an IR return when first eligible. There's now a 21-day window in which Reynolds can practice with the team without being placed on the active roster. It's possible he'll be activated before Sunday's game against the Falcons, in which case he'd be a threat to take snaps away from Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele.
Oct 24, 2024
On mend after shooting
The Broncos announced Thursday that Reynolds (finger) was the victim of a shooting in Denver on Oct. 18 and received treatment for minor injuries, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was fortunate to avoid any life-threatening injuries after he was shot once in his left arm and once in the back of his head shortly after 3 a.m. local time outside of a Denver club, according to Janet Oravetz of 9 News Denver. The wideout was placed on injured reserve Oct. 12 after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured finger, and he won't be eligible to return until at least Week 10. It's unclear if the injuries Reynolds sustained in the shooting will further delay his return to the field.
Oct 14, 2024
Dealing with fractured finger
Coach Sean Payton revealed Monday that Reynolds has a fractured finger, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds is on injured reserve until at least Nov. 10 after undergoing surgery on his finger, and Monday's comments clarify the nature of his injury. Rookie Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele have stepped up in complementary roles alongside Courtland Sutton in Reynolds' absence.
Oct 12, 2024
Shifts to IR
Reynolds (hand) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds underwent finger surgery earlier this week, and as a result won't be eligible to return until early November. The Broncos have a number of wide receivers that could step up in replace of Reynolds between Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele, but it remains to be seen which of the crew truly stands to operate as the No. 2 behind Courtland Sutton.
Oct 11, 2024
Set to miss at least one game
Reynolds (hand) won't play Sunday against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Per Jeff Legwold of ESPN, Reynolds could miss multiple weeks after undergoing finger surgery. With the wideout sidelined this weekend, at a minimum, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele are candidates to see added snaps behind Courtland Sutton for any length of time that Reynolds misses.
Oct 11, 2024
May miss some time
Reynolds underwent a minor procedure on his finger that likely will result in him sitting out Sunday against the Chargers and potentially longer, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds hasn't practiced so far this week due to a hand injury, but the precise nature of the issue previously wasn't known. The Broncos have yet to post their final Week 6 practice report, but based on Wilson's report, there's a decent chance Reynolds is ruled out for Sunday's game. If that comes to pass, Courtland Sutton will be the team's clear-cut No. 1 WR, with Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele poised for bigger roles.
Oct 10, 2024
Misses another practice
Reynolds (hand) didn't practice Thursday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds also missed Wednesday's session, which clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Chargers. If he's out or limited this weekend, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele would be in the mix for Week 6 snaps behind top WR Courtland Sutton.
Oct 9, 2024
Nursing hand injury
Reynolds (hand) was listed as a DNP on the Broncos' injury report Wednesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds caught his first touchdown of the regular season during the Broncos' 34-18 win over the Raiders this past Sunday. However, it appears the 29-year-old wide receiver may have injured his hand during the contest, which kept him sidelined during Wednesday's practice session. Reynolds will need to practice in some capacity over the next two days in order to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's AFC West clash against the Chargers. Through the first five games of the regular season, Reynolds has registered 12 catches (on 19 targets) for 183 yards and one touchdown.
Oct 8, 2024
Hits pay dirt in win
Reynolds caught one of two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds touchdown Sunday was his first score of the 2024 campaign, coming on a day when the Broncos passing attack found its groove. With that said, the veteran wideout was not involved heavily in the offense against the Raiders, playing on 48 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps while seeing targets on just two of quarterback Bo Nix's 27 pass attempts. Through five games, Reynolds has totaled twelve receptions for 183 yards on 19 targets. The 29-year-old will look to build off Sunday's performance when the Broncos host the Chargers in Week 6.
Sep 29, 2024
Blanked in rainy game
Reynolds did not catch either of his two targets against the Jets on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
On a rainy day where rookie Bo Nix could somewhat understandably only throw for 60 yards against a tough Jets defense, there simply wasn't any room in the budget for Reynolds to see much usage Sunday. Although the Broncos passing game doesn't figure to be prolific at any point in 2024, Reynolds should be in position to bounce back a bit against Las Vegas in Week 5.
Sep 26, 2024
Practices in full Thursday
Reynolds (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was limited in practice Wednesday due to a lingering Achilles injury, but which hasn't prevented him from suiting up for any of the Broncos' three regular-season games thus far. The veteran wideout currently leads the team with 174 receiving yards and looks fully on track to handle his usual role on offense during Sunday's road matchup against the Jets.
Sep 25, 2024
Limited in practice Wednesday
Reynolds (Achilles) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds has been managing an Achilles injury in the early part of the season, but it hasn't stopped him from suiting up on Sundays and posting a team-leading 174 receiving yards through three weeks. While Reynolds' practice reps may continue to be capped, he doesn't seem to be in any danger of sitting out Sunday against the Jets.
Sep 22, 2024
Chunk play in Week 2 win
Reynolds secured both targets for 36 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds got much fewer opportunities than both Courtland Sutton and Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who combined for 19 targets. However, the veteran did have the longest pass play of the day for the Broncos, recording a 31-yard grab on the third play from scrimmage on Denver's opening-drive touchdown. Reynolds' experience has already served rookie signal-caller Bo Nix well on several occasions this season, as the 29-year-old wideout has posted an 11-174 line on 15 targets through the first three contests.
Sep 19, 2024
Moves past Achilles issue
Reynolds (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
For the third week in a row, Reynolds appears on Denver's injury report with a listed Achilles issue, but he has yet to miss a game and is once again on track to play Sunday in Tampa after getting a full practice under his belt. Through his first two games with Denver, Reynolds has produced a 9-138-0 receiving line on 13 targets. His reception and receiving yardage totals are tops among Denver pass catchers, while his target count trails only Courtland Sutton (16).
Sep 18, 2024
Logs limited practice
Reynolds (Achilles) was limited at practice Wednesday. Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was on the field for 41of a possible 61 snaps on offense in the Broncos' Week 2 loss to Pittsburgh en route to catching four of his five targets for 93 yards. The wideout continues to manage an Achilles' issue that impacted his practice participation last week, but with no reported setbacks on that front, his Wednesday limitations could well have been maintenance-related.
Sep 16, 2024
Explosive in Denver offense
Reynolds recorded four receptions on five targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds led the Broncos in yards thanks to a few long receptions late in the game. He accounted for the longest play from scrimmage for either team on a trick play in the third quarter that went for 49 yards and later added a 22-yard gain in the fourth quarter -- the latter of which set up one of the team's two field goals. Reynolds has shown some rapport with Bo Nix early in the season, as he's been targeted 13 times and racked up nine receptions for 138 yards across two contests.
Sep 13, 2024
Ready to face Pittsburgh
Reynolds (Achilles) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, asgdas reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds missed practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday, but it's possible the Broncos were simply managing his reps due to lingering Achilles discomfort. The veteran wideout could be in line for expanded opportunities Sunday with rookie Devaughn Vele (ribs), who drew eight targets Week 1, ruled out for Sunday's matchup.
Sep 12, 2024
Logs limited practice
Reynolds (Achilles) was limited at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a limited session a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Meanwhile, fellow WR Devaughn Vele (ribs) has missed back-to-back practices, and if one or both players are limited or sidelined this weekend, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and perhaps Lil'Jordan Humphrey could see added work in Week 2.
Sep 12, 2024
Returns to practice
Reynolds (Achilles) resumed practicing Thursday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds couldn't practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury that he dealt with Week 1. The veteran wideout managed to practice in full despite the Achilles issue leading up to Week 1, so his return to practice Thursday bodes well for Reynolds' chances of being cleared to play Sunday versus Pittsburgh. During Denver's season-opening loss to the Seahawks, Reynolds secured five of eight targets for 45 yards.
Sep 11, 2024
Achilles issue resurfaces
Reynolds (Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was nursing an Achilles injury heading into Week 1, but he put forth three consecutive full practices before leading the Broncos with 45 receiving yards in a 26-20 loss to Seattle. Fellow wide receiver Devaughn Vele (ribs) was also absent Wednesday, leaving Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin as the only three healthy wide receivers on the roster. Reynolds and Vele both have two opportunities left to resume practicing as the Broncos prepare to host the Steelers on Sunday.
Sep 8, 2024
Leads team in yardage
Reynolds corralled five of eight targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds finished with the most receiving yards of any Denver wideout, but trailed Courtland Sutton in targets (12). The veteran wideout battled an Achilles injury this preseason but did not appear limited in Sunday's contest. Denver's passing game didn't look strong to kick off the Bo Nix era, but Reynolds will garner healthy targets as the No. 2 option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Steelers.
Sep 4, 2024
Full participant Wednesday
Reynolds (Achilles) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Ryan McFadden of the Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Denver has a clean injury report, with the entire team healthy heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against the Seahawks. That includes Reynolds, who dealt with a minor Achilles injury in August. The former Lions wide receiver will look to establish a prominent role on a Broncos wide receiver depth chart that looks wide open behind Courtland Sutton, with youngsters Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele also competing for playing time.
Aug 27, 2024
Positioned for Week 1 start?
Reynolds (Achilles) is one the candidates to take on a larger role after Denver released Tim Patrick on Tuesday, DNVR Broncos reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds got a lot of first-team snaps this summer and is perhaps the most obvious direct replacement/competition for Patrick, as they're both tall, veteran WRs that primarily work the perimeter and don't tend to be targeted at a high rate. From a fantasy standpoint, young players like Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin are probably more interesting, but that doesn't mean they'll get more playing time than Reynolds to start the season. Coach Sean Payton suggested last week that Reynolds' Achilles injury isn't serious.
Aug 23, 2024
Minor injury concern
Coach Sean Payton indicated that Reynolds has some "wear and tear" with an Achilles, but noted that the wideout felt better Friday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Payton added that Reynolds, who worked on a side field Friday, should be fine, but we suspect that the team will err on the side of caution and hold the 29-year-old out of Sunday's preseason finale against the Cardinals. As Week 1 approaches, Reynolds is looking to cement a key role in a Denver WR corps that's led by Courtland Sutton and also includes Tim Patrick, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele.
Aug 12, 2024
One grab in preseason opener
Reynolds secured one of his two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was minimally involved in his first action with the Broncos, playing just 17 offensive snaps and recording just one catch on two targets. The veteran wideout joined the Broncos in March as a free agent, signing a two-year contract worth up to $14 million. As the season approaches, Reynolds will look to carve out a role behind No. 1 receiver Courtland Sutton, but he'll face competition for targets from Tim Patrick and second-year standout Marvin Mims in the wide receiver corps.
Mar 27, 2024
Joining Denver's WR corps
Reynolds is slated to sign a two-year deal with the Broncos, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Garafolo, Reynolds' deal with Denver is worth a maximum of $14 million. The wideout, who turned 29 last month, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he caught 40 of his 64 targets for 608 yards and five TDs in 17 regular-season contests for Detroit. With the Broncos, Reynolds will help fill the void created by the recent trade of Jerry Jeudy to the Browns. In his new locale, the 2017 fourth-rounder will have a chance to compete with Tim Patrick (Achilles) and Marvin Mims for WR targets alongside Courtland Sutton.
Mar 21, 2024
Scheduled for Baltimore visit
Reynolds will visit the Ravens on Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens met with Michael Gallup earlier in the week and are still looking for veteran, complementary pass catchers for an offense that will be led by QB Lamar Jackson, RB Derrick Henry, WR Zay Flowers and TE Mark Andrews. It might not be the best place for a wide receiver to have fantasy value, but Baltimore does offer a good opportunity for playing time and a playoff run. Reynolds had at least 326 receiving yards (but no more than 618 in each of the past six seasons), starting 52 of 91 regular-season games in that span while playing for three different teams. He turned 29 in February, shortly after catching eight of 14 targets for 132 yards and a TD in three playoff games for Detroit.
Feb 11, 2024
Solid 2023 campaign
Reynolds caught 40 of 64 targets for 608 yards and five touchdowns over 17 games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
After averaging 56.8 yards with three touchdowns over the first six games of the year, Reynolds only collected 26.4 yards per game since that point. Part of his dip in production was tied to the return and then slight ascension of Jameson Williams, who missed the first four games of the year due to a gambling-related suspension but saw increased playing time as the year went on. While Reynolds is now set to become an unrestricted free agent, he will likely remain a fantasy afterthought wherever he lands.
Jan 26, 2024
Cleared to play
Reynolds (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in San Francisco, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Lions listed him as a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading the wideout to full on Friday. Reynolds played 86 and 78 percent of snaps in the team's first two playoff games, catching seven of 10 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in wins over the Rams and Buccaneers. He's gotten a bit more playing time than Jameson Williams, who has six playoff targets on snap shares of 70 and 58 percent.
Jan 25, 2024
Remains limited Thursday
Reynolds (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds now has put together back-to-back capped sessions to begin preparations for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at San Francisco due to a rib injury. His activity level at Friday's practice likely will determine whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation. Since the Lions' Week 9 bye, Reynolds has surpassed 20 receiving yards only five times in 11 contests en route to a cumulative 25-318-3 line on 43 targets.
Jan 24, 2024
Dealing with rib issue
Reynolds was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a rib injury.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds previously tended to groin and back issues this season, but he's suited up for all 19 games, including playoffs. His snap share has wavered at times along the way, but he's surpassed 60 percent in five consecutive contests, a span in which he put together a 14-180-1 line on 23 targets. The modest output comes as no surprise in a Detroit passing game that revolves around WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and TE Sam LaPorta (knee), and a new health concern now is impacting Reynolds ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game in San Francisco.
Jan 7, 2024
Ties season high in catches
Reynolds caught five of seven targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 30-20 win over the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds technically saw his most action in the passing game since Week 1, and it came in the absence of Jameson Williams (ankle). However, with the receiver needing 36 receiving yards to hit 600 on the year and trigger a $250k bonus in his contract, quarterback Jared Goff peppered Reynolds with four straight passes on Detroit's final four offensive plays of the game. Reynolds otherwise finished a distant third in targets behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta (ankle). With that said, each of LaPorta, Williams, and/or Kalif Raymond (knee) could be banged up entering the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, leaving Reynolds as the potential No. 2 option in the passing game ahead of a revenge game with the Rams.
Jan 1, 2024
Earns two targets
Reynolds caught one of two passes for 13 yards during Saturday's 20-19 loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Logging 68 percent of the offensive snaps, Reynolds saw his highest snap share in weeks on a day that the Lions heavily utilized three-receiver formations. With Jameson Williams (ankle), who logged 64 percent of the snaps, tending to a minor injury, Reynolds could return to being the clear No. 2 option at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown during the regular-season finale Sunday against Minnesota.
Dec 27, 2023
Minimal production in Week 16
Reynolds caught one of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds played the second-most offensive snaps (46) at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (78), but he was unable to get much going throughout the contest. Despite the down performance, it is promising that the veteran wideout remains a key member of the Lions' passing attack on an offense flush with playmakers. Reynolds will look to bounce back in a Week 17 matchup with the Cowboys.
Dec 18, 2023
Makes some plays
Reynolds caught two of three targets for 41 yards during Saturday's win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Posting more than 40 receiving yards in back-to-back games, Reynolds is showing a little life after previously failing to top 15 yards since Week 7. However, it is starting to look like Jameson Williams is taking hold of the No. 2 spot on the depth chart after setting career highs with seven targets and 69 percent of the snaps (compared to 58 percent for Reynolds). It will be hard to trust Reynolds for fantasy production in a Week 16 showdown with Minnesota.
Dec 16, 2023
Suiting up Saturday
Reynolds (back) is listed as active Saturday against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds logged limited practices to wrap up Week 15 prep Wednesday and Thursday, taking a questionable designation into the weekend. No matter, he'll be available to the Lions offense Saturday against a Denver defense that has given up the eighth-most yards per target (8.6) to opposing wide receivers this season.
Dec 14, 2023
Questionable for Saturday
Reynolds (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds showed up on the Lions' Week 15 injury report Wednesday as limited due to a back issue, and he maintained that activity level one day later. Still, his status is up in the air heading into the weekend. Even if he's able to suit up Saturday, though, Reynolds hasn't reached 50 receiving yards since Week 6, and he's topped out at three catches in a game in seven outings in the meantime.
Dec 13, 2023
Dealing with back issue
Reynolds was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a back injury.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds wasn't included on the Lions' estimated injury report Tuesday, so his addition one day later now places a cloud over his status as the team prepares for Saturday's game against the Broncos. His listing on Thursday's practice report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation.
Dec 13, 2023
Finds end zone against Bears
Reynolds secured three of four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds' trip to the end zone Sunday was the only touchdown scored through the air by the Lions in the contest. The veteran wideout was played 36 of Detroit's 65 offensive snaps, behind just Amon-Ra St. Brown (57) and Jameson Williams (38). Reynolds will look to carry some momentum from this solid performance into a Week 15 matchup against the Broncos.
Dec 4, 2023
Does little with three targets
Reynolds caught one of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's win over the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Right when it looked like Reynolds was losing grip of the No. 2 role, he comes with his highest snap share since Week 8. However, it may not matter who holds down this role given how the passing game is flowing through Amon-Ra St. Brown and tight end Sam LaPorta. It will be hard to trust any other Lions receiver entering a Week 14 matchup with Chicago.
Nov 27, 2023
Losing snaps
Reynolds caught two of four targets for 15 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Following three straight unproductive games, Reynolds may finally be losing his grip on the No. 2 role behind Amon Ra St. Brown. His 58 percent snap share not only matched Jameson Williams but marked Reynolds' lowest figure of the year outside of a Week 5 matchup with the Panthers when Reynolds played through a groin injury. Meanwhile, Kalif Raymond saw his most offensive snaps in four games while Donovan Peoples-Jones saw seven of them after making his Lions debut last week against Chicago. While it is possible the Lions needed to get more bodies involved on a day the offense ran 84 plays, Reynolds will be harder and harder to trust if his snap share continues to shrink.
Nov 21, 2023
Two targets against Bears
Reynolds caught one of two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds has totaled 39 yards on seven targets over the past three weeks despite favorable matchups against the Raiders, Chargers and Bears. Meanwhile, Jameson Williams logged over half of the offensive snaps for the first time in his career last week in Los Angeles before nearly shooting up to a 68 percent figure against Chicago -- and snagging a 32-yard touchdown in the process. While Reynolds still finished second behind Amon-Ra St. Brown with a 73 percent snap share, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Williams jump Reynolds on the depth chart before season's end.
Nov 14, 2023
Slump continues
Reynolds caught two of four targets for 15 yards during Sunday's win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
After snagging three touchdowns and topping 66 receiving yards four times over the first five games of the year, Reynolds has caught just four of eight targets for 121 scoreless yards in four games since then. Given that he didn't drop below 70 percent of the offensive snaps in any game over this stretch, playing time surely isn't to blame for Reynolds' decrease in production, especially against a Chargers defense allowing 24.3 more passing yards per game than the next-closest team. With Donovan Peoples-Jones in the fold plus Jameson Williams fresh off a career-high 52 percent snap share, it could get even harder for Reynolds to earn targets down the stretch.
Oct 31, 2023
Not earning targets
Reynolds caught one pass for 13 yards during Monday's win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
The Lions leaned heavily on Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown, who each logged at least 83 percent of the snaps while the next-closest receiver, Jameson Williams, checked in at 40 percent. However, Reynolds again did little with his opportunities and has now seen three fewer targets than Williams over the past four weeks despite seeing roughly double the playing time. Reynolds could become an afterthought in the Lions passing game should Williams keep eating into his playing time, though an appetizing Week 9 matchup with the Chargers secondary gives hope for both players to find success in the short term.
Oct 23, 2023
Modest production
Reynolds caught two of three targets for 45 yards during Sunday's loss to the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
The volume and production were each the lowest of the season for Reynolds outside of his Week 3 goose egg against Atlanta. On the bright side, Reynolds continued to log around 70 percent of the offensive snaps despite Jameson Williams approaching 50 percent of the snaps for the second time in the past three weeks. The Texas A&M product will look to bounce back in Week 8 against a Raiders team permitting the third-fewest passing yards per game in 2023.
Oct 16, 2023
Limited volume in win
Reynolds recorded three receptions on three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds earned at least five targets in four of his first five games, though he saw a diminished role and fell into a group of three pass catchers with three targets Sunday. He managed to work efficiently with the opportunity, tallying long receptions of 21 and 20 yards. While Reynolds has established himself as a big-play threat, the return of Jameson Williams and the ongoing involvement of Kalif Raymond make consistent production difficult to bank on moving forward.
Oct 8, 2023
Scores in win
Reynolds caught four of five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-24 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds led the Lions in receiving yards on a day when top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) was sidelined. The veteran had a long catch of 27 yards and helped Detroit build its lead with a one-yard touchdown during the second quarter. Although he wasn't targeted in Week 3, Reynolds has otherwise topped 65 yards in every game this season, scoring three touchdowns in the Lions' last four contests to boot.
Oct 8, 2023
Active in Week 5
Reynolds (groin) is active for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
After a week in which he logged a pair of capped practices due to a groin injury, Reynolds will be available to the Lions offense Sunday and may even serve as the top target for quarterback Jared Goff with Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) sidelined. Reynolds is welcoming second-year pro Jameson Williams to the lineup for the first time this season after the latter served a four-game gambling suspension. Having said that, Williams is slated to have a limited role off the bat, so Reynolds should have easy access to targets while working with TE Sam LaPorta and WRs Kalif Raymond and Marvin Jones.
Oct 6, 2023
Questionable despite full practice
Reynolds (groin) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina.
ANALYSIS
The Lions list eight players as questionable, two as doubtful and two as out, including WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen - doubtful) and Jameson Williams (non-injury - questionable). There's not nearly as much concern with Reynolds, given that he's played through a groin injury a couple times already this season and was healthy enough Friday to practice without limitations. Kalif Raymond, Marvin Jones and Antoine Green are the healthy WRs on Detroit's 53-man roster.
Oct 5, 2023
Another limited listing
Reynolds (groin) was limited at Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
For the second time in three weeks, Reynolds is operating with a cap on his practice reps due to a groin injury. In Week 3, he was able to log all activity in the final session before going down as questionable, so that may be his fate this time around, too. Reynolds has earned between 69 and 80 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the Lions' four games this season en route to 12 catches (on 19 targets) for 215 yards and two touchdowns.
Oct 4, 2023
Groin injury resurfaces
Reynolds was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a groin injury.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds also tended to a groin issue during Week 3 prep that left him questionable to play after following an LP/LP/FP practice regimen. He appears to be operating under a similar plan this week, but he'll have two more sessions to prove his health before the Lions potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers. Through four games this season, Reynolds has hauled in 12 of 19 targets for 215 yards and two touchdowns.
Sep 29, 2023
Back in box score
Reynolds caught three of six targets for 69 yards during Thursday's win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds again logged the majority of offensive snaps and saw another six targets for the third time in four weeks. Oddly coming off zero-target showing in Week 3, it was encouraging for his fantasy investors to see Reynolds back in the box score even if it remains a concern that he can completely disappear from a game. With Marvin Jones ineffective at this stage of his career and the diminutive Kalif Raymond largely a clear-out runner, Reynolds should be good for a handful of targets every week as the next-best wideout after Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Sep 25, 2023
Muted by Falcons
Reynolds was held without a target during Sunday's 20-6 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was muted by a Falcons secondary while Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond received all 18 targets that Jared Goff directed to wide receivers. However, even though the Texas A&M product did log three-quarters of the offensive snaps, it is possible that part of his ineffectiveness was due to a groin injury that landed Reynolds on the injury report in advance of Sunday's game. With Jameson Williams (suspension) still on the sidelines, Reynolds will look to bounce back on Thursday in Green Bay.
Sep 24, 2023
Ready to go Sunday
Reynolds (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown (groin) have both received the green light to play Sunday, despite the fact that both wideouts had been listed as questionable heading into the day. Considering Reynolds closed Week 3 prep as a full practice participant Friday, the expectation is that he'll be able to handle his normal workload Sunday. In both of his first two games of the season, Reynolds has cleared 69 percent of the snaps while compiling nine receptions for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets.
Sep 24, 2023
Questionable, but good to go
Reynolds (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, is considered "good to go," Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Along with Reynolds, the Lions are also listing Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) as questionable, but both wideouts look as though they'll be ready to handle their normal workloads Sunday. Considering that Reynolds was at least able to practice fully Friday before taking the questionable tag into the weekend, he may be in better health than St. Brown, who plans to play with a steel plate in his shoe to reduce pain. Official confirmation on the availability of Reynolds and St. Brown will arrive when the Lions release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's cleared of the injury designation as anticipated, Reynolds may shape up as a solid lineup option in deeper leagues. Through the first two weeks of the season, he's hauled in nine of 13 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns.
Sep 22, 2023
Listed questionable after FP
Reynolds (groin) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) both are on track to play with 'questionable' tags after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. Reynolds is off to a great start this year with nine catches for 146 yards and two TDs on three targets, but he's put together similar stretches in the past before fading back to either a bench role or an extremely low rate of targets per route. Even so, fantasy managers could do worse as far as Week 3 streamers or injury replacements go, as Reynolds at least has solidified himself as Detroit's top perimeter receiver until Jameson Williams returns from suspension Week 7 (and possibly beyond that if Williams is a bust).
Sep 21, 2023
Logs another limited session
Reynolds (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds has been very efficient with his reps to kick off the current campaign, hauling in nine of 13 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns. That equates to 16.2 YPC and 11.2 YPT, which will be difficult to maintain moving forward. Still, Reynolds' groin injury is a pressing issue, which is capping his on-field reps during Week 3 prep. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he'll enter the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
Sep 20, 2023
Bothered by groin injury
Reynolds was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds showed no sign of injury during Sunday's loss to Seattle, scoring a pair of touchdowns and playing 80 percent of snaps on offense. With 13 targets, 146 yards and the two TDs through two weeks, Reynolds has emerged as Detroit's top perimeter threat ahead of 33-year-old Marvin Jones. The Lions would use Kalif Raymond more in the event of Reynolds suffering a setback with his groin prior to Sunday's home game against Atlanta.
Sep 17, 2023
Scores twice in loss
Reynolds caught five of six targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds opened Detroit's scoring with a 22-yard touchdown during the first quarter. He then scored from four yards late in the fourth quarter, helping the Lions force overtime. Although Amon-Ra St. Brown is the team's undoubted top target, Reynolds has enjoyed a good start as the secondary receiving option, posting nine grabs for 146 yards and two scores thus far.
Sep 8, 2023
Seven targets in Williams' absence
Reynolds caught four of seven targets for 80 yards during Thursday's 21-21 win over the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
If there is a battle for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart during the six-game suspension of Jameson Williams, Reynolds made a much better case for it than Marvin Jones did in this regular-season opener. Reynolds ultimately paced the team in receiving yards while finishing only a couple of targets shy of No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. However, this production isn't exactly new for Reynolds, who has already shown an ability to maintain multi-week fantasy relevance as a fill-in player given the 90ish yards and 9.3 targets he averaged during three consecutive weeks that DJ Chark and Williams missed early last season. Reynolds will look to build upon this performance in a tough Week 2 matchup against the Seahawks.
Jan 20, 2023
Three touchdowns in 2022
Reynolds caught 38 of 59 targets for 479 yards with three touchdowns over 14 games in 2022.
ANALYSIS
Opening the year as the No. 3 wideout behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark, Reynolds had a handful of big games early on before suffering through a mid-season back injury. While Reynolds worked his way back into the mix down the stretch, by that time Jameson Williams was also healthy enough to play and, consequently, steal snaps from Reynolds. While the Texas A&M product technically remains under contract to return to his complementary role in 2023, it is possible that Detroit will consider saving nearly $4 million against salary cap -- while making room for Williams to make a second-year leap -- by letting Reynolds go this offseason.
Dec 29, 2022
Logs full practice Thursday
Reynolds (illness) practiced in full Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was held out of all on-field work Wednesday due to an illness, but his return one day later without limitations signals that the ailment is behind him. Over the last four games, he's earned between 59 and 78 percent of the offensive snaps, hauling in 10 of 14 targets for 101 yards and one touchdown. Similar modest usage likely is on the docket for Reynolds on Sunday against the Bears with fellow wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark and Kalif Raymond available to the Lions offense.
Dec 28, 2022
Sidelined with illness
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds and Logan Stenberg both didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness. The severity of the aliment remains unclear, but both players will have two more opportunities to practice before the Lions need to make a decision on their statuses for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Dec 25, 2022
Makes two catches
Reynolds caught two of four passes for 31 yards during Saturday's loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds had a chance to haul in a touchdown on a fourth down at one point but was hit hard by a Panthers defensive back. He otherwise had a modest day while continuing to serve as the third option at wideout ahead of both Kalif Raymond and Jameson Williams. Next up for Reynolds is a Week 17 matchup against Chicago.
Dec 18, 2022
No looks against Jets
Reynolds was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was a complete afterthought in the passing game on a day the Jets forced the Lions to direct 29 of 38 pass attempts underneath to running backs, tight ends, and slot receiver Amon-Ra. St. Brown. With Jameson Williams yet to pose much of a threat to Reynolds snap count, the fifth-year wideout will look to bounce back in Week 16 against the Panthers.
Dec 12, 2022
Another big game against Vikings
Reynolds caught three of six targets for 51 yards with one touchdown during Sunday's 34-23 win over the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
After seeing nearly 80 percent of the offensive snaps last week against the Jaguars, Reynolds dipped to 60 percent Sunday in Jameson Williams' second career game. However, Reynolds still managed to put up a solid stat line against a Vikings defense he dusted for 96 yards on six receptions back in Week 3, which bodes well for his ability to maintain the No. 3 receiving role over Williams down the stretch. Up next is a tough matchup on the road against the Jets.
Dec 5, 2022
Returns to sizable role
Reynolds caught three of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 41-14 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
After seeing just six offensive snaps in last week's return from a back injury, Reynolds logged 79 percent of them a week later while looking like the clear No. 3 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark. However, Jameson Williams looms in the background and only figures to improve upon the handful of snaps he saw while making his professional debut Sunday. With Reynolds the most likely to lose snaps to the rookie as the year unfolds, it seems unlikely that Reynolds can return to his early-season production.
Nov 25, 2022
Small role in return
Reynolds was not targeted with a pass during Thursday's loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds logged just six offensive snaps in his return from a back injury that prevented him from suiting up over the past three weeks. Instead, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond and a now-healthy DJ Chark commanded the vast majority of snaps at wide receiver. With Reynolds only set to face more competition for playing time once Jameson Williams (knee) is available, Reynolds will be challenged to produce any more meaningful stat lines down the stretch of the campaign.
Nov 24, 2022
Returning to action in Week 12
Reynolds (back) is listed as active Thursday against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
After stringing together back-to-back capped sessions to close Week 12 prep, Reynolds is putting an end to a three-game absence due to a back injury. Considering his health may be compromised somewhat, he and DJ Chark (ankle) may merely spell Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond, both of whom have received at least 80 percent shares of the snaps in four consecutive games. In seven appearances this season, Reynolds has averaged 13.7 YPC on his 26 receptions, so a big play is possible working with his long-time teammate Jared Goff.
Nov 24, 2022
Expected to play Thursday
Reynolds (back) is expected to play Thursday against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was listed as a limited participant on two of the Lions' practice reports this week, but he should be able to play through his back injury during the Lions' Thanksgiving Day matchup. Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and DJ Chark should serve as Detroit's secondary receivers behind Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Nov 23, 2022
Questionable for Thursday
Reynolds (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Bills.
ANALYSIS
With a pair of limited listings on Lions injury reports during Week 12 prep, Reynolds may have done enough to suit up for the first time since Week 8, as he's missed three consecutive contests due to a back issue. If he's active Thursday, he likely will join DJ Chark (ankle) as the team's secondary options at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond.
Nov 22, 2022
Listed as limited Tuesday
Reynolds (back) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
ANALYSIS
After being listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Reynolds got in some work one day later. He followed a similar regimen last week before sitting out Friday, and the Lions eventually downgraded him to out ahead of this past Sunday's win at the Giants. If Reynolds is able to string together back-to-back capped sessions this week, he could be a candidate to return to action Thursday versus the Bills. Ultimately, Wednesday's injury report could give a clearer picture of his upcoming availability (or lack thereof).
Nov 21, 2022
Logs DNP on Monday
Reynolds (back) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old wideout practice Thursday and Friday ahead of Week 11 before ultimately being ruled out for a third straight game due to a back injury. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against Buffalo, but it appears Reynolds is trending towards a fourth straight absence.
Nov 19, 2022
Downgraded ahead of Sunday
Reynolds (back) was downgraded to out and will not play Sunday against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds practiced both Thursday and Friday, but it wasn't enough for the 27-year-old to make a return from his two-game absence. Expect Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy to once again fill in for the injured wide receiver.
Nov 18, 2022
Questionable to return this week
Reynolds (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant before sitting out again Friday to close out the week. He thus appear no better than 50/50 ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and there's also the possibility of added target competition with DJ Chark (ankle) recently designated to return from injured reserve.
Nov 17, 2022
Practices in limited fashion
Reynolds (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds returned to the practice field for the first time since Nov. 2, after missing both of the Lions' previous two games on account of the back injury. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation at Friday's practice to avoid carrying an injury designation for the Lions' Week 11 game against the Giants, but Reynolds' return to the field Thursday in any capacity looks to be a positive sign for his availability. If available this weekend, Reynolds should take on a starting role alongside top target Amon-Ra St. Brown, but Reynolds could be pushed further down the pecking order at receiver if DJ Chark (ankle) and Jameson Williams (knee) are able to return from injured reserve and the non-football injury list, respectively, in the weeks to come.
Nov 16, 2022
Stays sidelined at practice
Reynolds (back) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds hasn't practiced since Nov. 2, missing the Lions' past two games as a result of a back issue. He may have to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday this week to put himself on a path to play Sunday at the Giants. Ultimately, Detroit again could decide Reynolds' fate for Week 11 action upon the release of Friday's injury report, like it did last week.
Nov 11, 2022
Out again
Reynolds (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Reynolds out last week, Tom Kennedy played 66 percent of snaps on offense and caught one of four targets for 16 yards in a 15-9 loss to the Packers, while Amon-Ra St. Brown (97 percent snap share) and Kalif Raymond (95 percent) rarely left the field. Raymond did have four straight games with at least three catches for 38 yards before that, but he hasn't scored a TD this year of seen more than seven targets in a single game. Reynolds didn't practice at all this week, putting him in danger of a third absence Week 11 against the Giants.
Nov 11, 2022
Misses practice again Friday
Reynolds (back) will not practice Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Dan Campbell said Reynolds will be re-evaluated Saturday, but considering that the wideout has missed three straight practices, he seems to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's divisional matchup in Chicago. If Reynolds isn't available, Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy will stand to see increased opportunities behind Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Nov 10, 2022
Another DNP on Thursday
Reynolds (back) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds remained away from the field Thursday, which has been his norm for exactly one week due to a back injury. With just one more opportunity to mix into drills this week, he may be trending toward a second absence in a row Sunday in Chicago. Friday's injury report could confirm as much, and if Reynolds is out this weekend, the Lions' top three wide receivers would be Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy.
Nov 9, 2022
Not at practice
Reynolds (back) isn't practicing Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
With Reynolds out for Sunday's win over Green Bay, the Lions turned to Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy for most of the WR reps behind top target Amon-Ra St. Brown. None of the three did much, in part because Jared Goff tied a season low of 26 pass attempts. Reynolds looks shaky for the game in Chicago this Sunday as he starts the week off with a missed practice.
Nov 6, 2022
Inactive Sunday
Reynolds (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds has dealt with ankle and knee injuries so far this season, but neither of them impacted his snap count on game day, as he ranged between 72 and 91 percent of the offensive plays in the Lions' first seven contests. Now with a back issue in tow, he managed just one limited session during Week 9 prep and won't be available to the offense Sunday. Detroit instead will turn to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond, Tom Kennedy, Stanley Berryhill and Brandon Zylstra at wide receiver.
Nov 4, 2022
Doubtful due to back injury
Reynolds (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
He's played through injuries -- first his ankle, then his knee -- since late September without missing a game, but it appears this new issue with his back will keep Reynolds sidelined for the first time. Jared Goff is left with an inexperienced group of pass catchers, likely relying on Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy to flank standout slot receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Nov 3, 2022
Misses practice Thursday
Reynolds (back) was held out of practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
One day removed from logging a limited session, Reynolds didn't mix into drills at all Thursday, placing a cloud over his status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Packers. Ultimately, his listing on Friday's practice report may provide some clarity regarding his availability, but if he's limited or out this weekend, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy would be the primary wide receivers for quarterback Jared Goff.
Nov 3, 2022
Not practicing Thursday
Reynolds (back) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was listed as limited Wednesday, so a downgrade in participation Thursday makes his status for Sunday's game against the Packers worth monitoring. Friday's injury report should help clarify his chances of suiting up this weekend, but if Reynolds ends up out, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond would be in line to lead the Lions' Week 9 wideout corps.
Nov 2, 2022
Limited by back injury
Reynolds was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a back injury.
ANALYSIS
Previously, Reynolds tended to ankle and knee issues this season, but neither health concern kept him from being able to play, as exemplified by him logging between 72 and 91 percent of the offensive snaps in the Lions' seven games to date. Even though he's now contending with a back injury, he still was able to mix into drills to kick off Week 9 prep, but his status nonetheless should be monitored ahead of Sunday's contest against the Packers.
Oct 31, 2022
Drops potential touchdown
Reynolds caught two of six targets for 14 yards during Sunday's loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds had a quiet day that could have been much more productive had he not dropped a surefire touchdown at the end of the first half or been able to secure a difficult catch for another potential touchdown at the end of the second half. However, with DJ Chark (ankle) and Jameson Williams (knee) still sidelined, the opportunities should continue to be there for Reynolds in future weeks. The Texas A&M product will look to get back on track in Week 9 against Green Bay.
Oct 28, 2022
Ready for Week 8 matchup
Reynolds (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds, RB D'Andre Swift and TE T.J. Hockenson all are cleared from the final injury report, while target-hogging slot man Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) is listed as questionable but expected to play. Reynolds topped 80 yards in three straight games before a Week 6 bye, only to sink to one catch for eight yards on two targets in the Week 7 loss to Dallas. He still has solid averages for the season -- 4.0 catches for 57.2 yards and 0.33 TDs on 6.0 targets per game -- and should stay locked in as a starter for at least another month with DJ Chark (ankle) on injured reserve and Jameson Williams (NFI - knee) unlikely to be ready before December.
Oct 27, 2022
Back in limited capacity
Reynolds (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
ANALYSIS
This follows a DNP on Wednesday, so Reynolds is making some progress through the knee injury that's impacting him for a second week in a row. While he was able to play through the issue and earn 79 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday at Dallas, he was target just twice en route to one eight-yard catch. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Reynolds goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins. With Amon-Ra St. Brown logging back-to-back limited sessions this week as he makes his way through the concussion protocol, there's a chance an active Reynolds is the Lions' No. 1 wide receiver Sunday.
Oct 26, 2022
Still bothered by ankle
Reynolds (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds played through the ankle injury Weeks 4-5 and topped 80 yards in both games, but he doesn't seem to have benefitted from a Week 6 bye, managing only two targets and eight yards in a loss to Dallas this past Sunday. The 27-year-old did play 80 percent of offensive snaps in the Week 7 loss, and he'll have a better matchup this Sunday at home against the Dolphins. With DJ Chark (ankle) on injured reserve, Amon-Ra St. Brown in concussion protocol and Jameson Williams (knee) reportedly out at least another month, Reynolds should see plenty of snaps for as long as he can avoid setbacks with the lingering ankle injury.
Oct 23, 2022
Low usage despite St. Brown's exit
Reynolds caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
After seeing 28 targets over the previous three games, Reynolds was curiously unused on a day that Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) left early to join DJ Chark (ankle) on the sidelines. Instead, Kalif Raymond led the way among Lions receivers as Jared Goff slowly worked his way into scoring position before turning the ball over on four occasions. If St. Brown (concussion) needs to miss time, Reynolds would slot in as the Detroit's clear No. 1 option at wideout in Week 8 against Miami.
Oct 23, 2022
Available Sunday
Reynolds (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Prior to the Lions' Week 6 bye, Reynolds gutted out a sprained ankle for two games, combining for 18 targets during that stretch. Now tending to a knee issue post-respite, he managed just one limited practice Friday, but it was enough to gain clearance for game action. He thus will work behind the team's top wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, but Reynolds won't have to contend with DJ Chark (ankle, IR) for looks, meaning he again should be a regular option for quarterback Jared Goff.
Oct 21, 2022
Deemed questionable
Reynolds (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, after missing the first two official sessions coming out of a bye week. He's been dealing with the same injury since Week 3 and nonetheless has three consecutive performances of more than 80 receiving yards, but the lack of practice time this week means fantasy managers shouldn't assume anything ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. While the matchup and lingering ankle injury are far from ideal, Reynolds should be the team's top perimeter threat if he plays, with fellow wideout DJ Chark (ankle) set to miss a third straight game.
Oct 20, 2022
Remains out at practice
Reynolds (knee) didn't practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Before the Lions' Week 6 bye, Reynolds played through a sprained ankle for two games. After the respite, he's now tending to a knee injury, which has kept him out of both sessions this week. He'll have one more chance Friday to put himself on a path to play Sunday in Dallas, but in a Detroit receiving corps that includes the banged-up DJ Chark (ankle), quarterback Jared Goff may have limited options at the position this weekend (Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy are the only healthy WRs on the active roster).
Oct 19, 2022
Dealing with knee issue
Reynolds (knee) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
While Reynolds gutted through a sprained ankle in the Lions' last two games before a Week 6 bye, he's now dealing with a new health concern. His status thus should be monitored Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's contest at Dallas. DJ Chark (ankle) also didn't practice Wednesday, so the team's healthy wide receivers behind top option Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) are Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy.
Oct 19, 2022
Bothered by ankle after bye
Reynolds (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday but was able to do side work, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds played through an ankle sprain the last two games before Detroit's Week 6 bye and caught 13 of 18 targets for 173 yards and a TD. In fact, he had 269 yards and 28 targets in the final three games before the bye, seeing extra work on a sprained ankle because fellow Lions wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark suffered more serious ankle injuries. St. Brown returned to a limited role Week 5 and now is practicing after the Week 7 bye, but the Lions are still banged up at the position with both Chark and Reynolds held out of practice Wednesday. They also get a tough matchup this week, heading to Dallas to face a Cowboys defense that ranks third in points allowed and eighth in yardage.
Oct 9, 2022
Steps up again
Reynolds caught six of 10 targets for 92 yards during Sunday's 29-0 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was the only bright spot of a Lions offense that was hampered by the absences of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and DJ Chark (shoulder) not to mention the limitations imposed by Amon-Ra St. Brown's ankle injury. While the recent production has been impressive for the supposed No. 3 receiver, increased health from his teammates will likely prevent Reynolds from maintaining the 9.5 target's he's seen over the past two weeks coming out of Detroit's Week 6 bye. However, it's still good to know that Reynolds could be a serviceable fantasy option in the event Chark or St. Brown miss more games.
Oct 9, 2022
Active in Week 5
Reynolds (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at New England.
ANALYSIS
For a second consecutive contest, Reynolds will play through an ankle issue after managing a pair of limited practices. He'll welcome back Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) for the first time since Week 3, while running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder/ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle) again are sitting out. Reynolds thus is set to serve as the Lions' No. 2 WR, and if St. Brown is at all inhibited, the former may be in line for a significant workload following a combined 13-177-1 line on 18 targets the last two outings.
Oct 9, 2022
Likely available Sunday
Reynolds (ankle), who's listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds played through the same ankle injury in Week 4, when he finished with seven receptions for 81 yards and a score against Seattle. DJ Chark is set to miss another week, while Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is considered a true game-time decision, so if Reynolds is indeed available, he figures to garner another hefty workload. However, despite the optimism, fantasy managers should still confirm his status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff before locking him into lineups.
Oct 7, 2022
Deemed questionable
Reynolds (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New England.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds seems on track to play, after playing through the same injury last week -- with a season-best 7-81-1 receiving line against Seattle -- and then managing limited practices Thursday and Friday this week. Fellow wideout DJ Chark will miss another week with his ankle injury, while Amon-Ra St. Brown is listed as questionable with his.
Oct 6, 2022
Increases practice activity
Reynolds (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds is one of four receivers on Detroit's Week 5 injury report, but he at least appears to be in a better spot on the health front than Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot), who were both non-participants in practice for the second day in a row. Unless St. Brown takes a step forward in his practice activity Friday to improve his chances of putting an end to a one-game absence Sunday at New England, Reynolds could be one of the top candidates to absorb the No. 1 wideout's vacated target volume. Reynolds will first have to move past his own ankle concern, but while St. Brown was out for last week's 48-45 shootout loss to the Seahawks, Reynolds drew eight targets and turned those looks into seven receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown.
Oct 5, 2022
Misses practice
Reynolds (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds played through an ankle injury in Sunday's 48-45 loss to Seattle and caught seven of eight targets for 81 yards and a touchdown. He could see that type of volume again this Sunday in New England if he's able to play through his ankle injury while Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and/or DJ Chark (ankle) can't manage to do the same.
Oct 2, 2022
Records seven grabs, TD Sunday
Reynolds brought in seven of eight targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 48-45 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Jared Goff's former Rams teammate once again displayed some strong chemistry with his quarterback, stepping up with the top reception, receiving yardage and target totals among the team's depleted wideout corps. Reynolds found the end zone for the second time this season as well, scoring on a three-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Reynolds has a clear-cut complementary role in the Lions' passing attack even when the receiving corps is at full health, but he could be in for another elevated workload in a Week 5 road matchup against the Patriots if even if just one of Amon-Ra St. Brown or DJ Chark sit out that contest with their respective ankle injuries.
Oct 2, 2022
Active in Week 4
Reynolds (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
With both Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark sidelined due to their respective ankle injuries, Reynolds will be available to the Lions offense as one of the top options at wide receiver. After logging back-to-back limited sessions on his own ankle issue, Reynolds will look to replicate his success from Week 3 at Minnesota, where he hauled in six of 10 targets for 96 yards.
Sep 30, 2022
Listed as questionable
Reynolds (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
DJ Chark (ankle) also is listed as questionable and is expected to play, while Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) has been ruled out. It was rather unfortunate for the Lions to see each of their top three WRs suffer an ankle injury in the come-from-ahead loss to Minnesota last week, but it does seem Chark and Reynolds are more likely than not to play. If so, both get improved target-share projections with St. Brown sidelined, while Kalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus figure to pick up most of the standout slot man's usual snaps.
Sep 29, 2022
Bumps up practice participation
Reynolds (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Though Reynolds and tight end T.J. Hockenson (foot) returned to the practice field in some capacity Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, the Lions could still be without multiple key options in the passing game Sunday against the Seahawks. All of Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), DJ Chark (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder) sat out Thursday's session, leaving their respective statuses in greater question than those of Reynolds or Hockenson. Assuming he can move past his own injury concern, Reynolds could find himself in prime position to build on the 6-96-0 receiving line on 10 targets that he turned in during Detroit's Week 3 loss to Minnesota.
Sep 28, 2022
Misses practice
Reynolds (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Both Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown will miss practice after suffering minor injuries in a loss to the Vikings on Sunday. The Lions have Kalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus as depth WRs if Reynolds and/or St. Brown can't play this Sunday against Seattle.
Sep 27, 2022
Hobbled by ankle in Week 3
Reynolds was tending to a minor ankle injury in the aftermath of Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds briefly checked out of Sunday's contest on account of the injury, but he was able to return and finished the game with six receptions for 96 yards on 10 targets. Top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown also picked up an ankle injury, but neither he nor Reynolds are believed to be dealing with anything significant. Even so, the statuses of both Reynolds and St. Brown for the Lions' Week 4 game against the Seahawks won't be known until the team's training and coaching staffs get a chance to evaluate the receivers during practices Wednesday through Friday. Detroit signed another wideout in Josh Johnson to its practice squad Tuesday, which will give the team some extra coverage at the position if one of Reynolds or St. Brown can't play Week 4.
Sep 25, 2022
Tallies 96 yards
Reynolds recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
With Amon Ra St. Brown battling through an ankle injury, Reynolds emerged to take the lead among Detroit pass catchers. He turned in a few big gains of 26 and 25 yards, the first of which led directly to a Lions touchdown. Reynolds plays a similar field-stretching role to DJ Chark, so he may struggle to replicate this production moving forward.
Sep 19, 2022
Snags touchdown
Reynolds caught three of three targets for 38 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds made a couple of plays on his limited opportunities, first snagging a three-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone and then securing a 23-yard reception. However, he still finished fifth in targets behind Detroit's four top options in Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark, D'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson. As long as those guys stay healthy, Reynolds won't be on the fantasy radar.
Sep 11, 2022
Catches long pass
Reynolds caught one of three targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds clearly worked as the third option at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark, but he finished fifth in targets behind those top two receivers plus D'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson. With only so many passes to go around in any given week, Reynolds' workload will likely remain limited as long as everyone stays healthy. The looming return of Jameson Williams (knee) will only make things harder for him.
Aug 21, 2022
No snaps against Colts
Reynolds was not active for Saturday's preseason win over the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was held out of action along with the rest of the Lions' top offensive players, including fellow receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark and Jameson Williams (knee). While Reynolds will surely be the odd man out of this group once Williams is up to speed, there is no firm timeline for Williams' return, and Reynolds seems like Detroit's clear No. 3 receiver in his absence. If the 27-year-old plays in a deep-threat role that Williams could be ticketed for, Reynolds could contribute some splash plays over the first half of the upcoming season.
Mar 8, 2022
Agrees to two-year deal
Reynolds has agreed to a two-year extension with the Lions, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, the deal carries a maximum value of $12 million. Reynolds, who began the 2021 season with the Titans, joined the Lions as a waiver claim in November and proceeded to record a 19/306/2 stat line in seven games for Detroit. Garafolo indicates that retaining the 2017 fourth-rounder was something the team wanted to get done before free agency and we'd expect that the Lions will continue to add wideout depth as the offseason unfolds.
Jan 12, 2022
Quiet end to season
Reynolds caught one of three targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 37-30 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was back in the starting lineup after missing Week 17 due to COVID protocols, and he again logged a majority of the available offensive snaps. However, Amon-Ra St. Brown remained the focal point of the passing game while Reynolds experienced a dip from the six targets he averaged in his previous five games. Even though this was a quiet end to his season, there's still no questioning that Reynolds has been a solid fit with Detroit after the receiver requested his release from Tennessee mid-season. He'll finish his campaign with 19 catches with 306 yards and two scores over seven games with the Lions after managing 90 scoreless yards in five games with the Titans. A reunion in 2022 seems like a mutually beneficial outcome for both Detroit and the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent.
Jan 9, 2022
Playing in Week 18
Reynolds (thigh) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Tacked onto the Lions' final Week 18 practice report Friday as limited due to a thigh injury, Reynolds will gut it out as he welcomes Jared Goff (knee) back to the lineup for the first time in three contests. Previously teammates with the Rams, Reynolds and Goff connected 16 times for 259 yards and two touchdowns on 23 attempts between Weeks 12 and 15.
Jan 7, 2022
Added to injury report
Reynolds (thigh) was added to the injury report Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds dealt with a thigh injury in December before missing last week's game on the reserve/COVID-19 list. This is likely the same issue cropping up again, though it didn't cost him any games the first time. If Reynolds is out, Kalif Raymond is the favorite for regular snaps alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown, with Trinity Benson and KhaDarel Hodge also in the mix. Reynolds put up a goose egg in his first outing for the Lions, but he's since averaged 3.6 catches for 59.0 yards and 0.4 TDs on 6.0 targets in five games.
Jan 3, 2022
Cleared for Week 18
The Lions activated Reynolds (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Though Reynolds wasn't able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol ahead of Sunday's eventual 51-29 loss to the Seahawks like Detroit head coach Dan Campbell initially hoped, the 26-year-old is on track to rejoin the lineup for this weekend's season finale versus the Packers. Regardless of whether Jared Goff (knee) or Tim Boyle starts at quarterback Week 18, look for Reynolds to serve as no better than the No. 2 option in the passing attack behind rookie wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has drawn no fewer than 11 targets in any of the Lions' past five games.
Jan 2, 2022
Not available Week 17
Reynolds (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game in Seattle after the Lions didn't activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for week 17 roster moves, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Detroit will be without two of its top three wideouts in Reynolds and Kalif Raymond, who also tested positive for the virus Thursday. Head coach Dan Campbell had been hopeful that Reynolds would be able to test out of the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol before Sunday's contest, but the wideout is apparently still symptomatic after a five-day quarantine. With Reynolds and Raymond out, more reps should be available for Tom Kennedy, KhaDarel Hodge and Trinity Benson behind No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Dec 31, 2021
Could return this weekend
Coach Dan Campbell said Friday he hopes Reynolds (illness) will be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds landed on the COVID-19 list Monday but may be able to rejoin the active roster without missing a game. The 26-year-old took a step back Week 16 with only two receptions for 36 yards as Tim Boyle started at quarterback for Detroit, and Boyle is expected to be under center again Sunday at Seattle.
Dec 27, 2021
Goes on COVID-19 list
The Lions placed Reynolds (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds' move to the list was merely a formality after head coach Dan Campbell confirmed earlier in the day that the wideout tested positive for the virus. If he's vaccinated, Reynolds will have a chance to test out of the protocols ahead of Sunday's game in Seattle, though his availability for that contest is far from certain.
Dec 27, 2021
Recovering from positive COVID test
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Reynolds tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Detroit is expected to formally place Reynolds on the reserve/COVID-19 list at some point in the next couple of days. If he's vaccinated, Reynolds will have a chance to test out of the protocols ahead of Sunday's game in Seattle, though his availability for that contest is far from a given. Since he was claimed off waivers from the Titans on Nov. 10, Reynolds has logged at least 63 percent of the Lions' offensive snaps in all six of his appearances, stringing together an 18-295-2 receiving line on 33 targets over that stretch.
Dec 26, 2021
Poor chemistry with backup QB
Reynolds caught two of seven targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds caught 13 of 18 targets over the past three games with Jared Goff (COVID-19) under center, but the chemistry wasn't there with backup QB Tim Boyle under center. Instead, Amon-Ra St. Brown kept rolling in an underneath slot role that has earned him 11 targets in each of the past four weeks. While Reynolds should remain Detroit's top downfield threat down the stretch, expectations for his production should be dampened if Goff is unable to return in Week 17 against Seattle.
Dec 26, 2021
Suiting up in Week 16
Reynolds (thigh) is listed active Sunday in Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
As he did last week, Reynolds followed up three straight limited listings on injury reports and a questionable designation with active standing once game day arrived. Only this time, he'll be operating with Tim Boyle instead of Jared Goff (illness), who remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list. In his only NFL start back in Week 11 at Cleveland, Boyle mustered 77 yards on 23 pass attempts, so Reynolds and the rest of the Lions receivers may be in store for subdued performances.
Dec 24, 2021
Gets Week 16 questionable tag
The Lions list Reynolds (thigh) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was able to practice in a limited capacity all week, which seemingly bodes well for his chances of getting the green light to play Sunday, despite his designation. Rather than the thigh issue, the more troubling development for Reynolds' Week 16 outlook is the likelihood that Tim Boyle will be stepping in at quarterback for regular starter Jared Goff (illness), who isn't expected to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to game day. Boyle managed only 77 passing yards on 23 attempts in his first career NFL start Week 11 against the Browns, a wretched performance that makes it difficult to feel optimistic about any of the Lions' pass catchers' odds of producing fantasy-friendly lines versus Atlanta.
Dec 23, 2021
Reps capped again
Reynolds (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was limited for the second straight day and the fourth consecutive practice overall, but the Lions have yet to suggest the thigh issue will put him at risk of sitting out Sunday in Atlanta. He concluded last week with a pair of limited practices and was listed as questionable ahead of the Lions' game against the Cardinals, but he suited up and finished with six receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown in Detroit's upset victory. So long as he continues to practice in some fashion Friday, Reynolds should be in good shape to play against the Falcons, even if he's listed as questionable again.
Dec 22, 2021
Still limited at practice
Reynolds was limited by a thigh injury at Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds capped last week with back-to-back limited sessions and was handed a questionable designation for this past Sunday's game against Arizona. He proceeded to up and handle a slightly reduced workload (63 percent of offensive snaps) on his way to hauling in all six targets for 68 yards and one touchdown in the 30-12 win. Reynolds will have two more chances this week to bump up to full, or else potentially risk entering another weekend with a game-day designation.
Dec 19, 2021
Second TD of season
Reynolds caught six of six targets for 68 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-12 win over Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Settling in as a top option in the passing offense, Reynolds now has five targets and 50 receiving yards in four straight games. While Amon-Ra St. Brown is stealing the spotlight with his large role in the underneath passing game, Reynolds' perimeter role is less likely to be affected by the potential return of pass-catching running backs D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (illness) in the near future. In any case, the entire Lions' passing offense will have a solid Week 16 matchup against a Falcons defense that has allowed the 26th most fantasy points to wide receivers this year.
Dec 19, 2021
Active in Week 15
Reynolds (thigh) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
After ending Week 15 prep with back-to-back limited showings in practice and getting tagged as questionable, Reynolds will play through a thigh issue. His previous rapport with Jared Goff when both were members of the Rams has yielded fruit, with the pair connecting on 10 of 17 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown over the last three contests. No other Lion has more receiving yards during that stretch (Amon-Ra St. Brown is second at 182 yards).
Dec 17, 2021
Questionable to face Lions
Reynolds (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds wasn't on the injury report at the start of the week, but it's a good sign he managed a limited practice Friday after being added to the report Thursday (also as LP). He's been starting and handling an every-down role for the Lions, averaging 2.5 catches for 47.8 yards on 5.0 targets over the past four games. An absence this Sunday would free up snaps for Kalif Raymond, and possibly Tom Kennedy, KhaDarel Hodge or Trinity Benson.
Dec 16, 2021
Dealing with thigh injury
Reynolds was limited at Thursday's practice due to a thigh issue.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds is making a sudden appearance on the Lions' Week 15 injury report, which occasionally implies a health concern picked up during the week and potentially even on the practice field. Friday's report could clear up his status in advance of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Since getting blanked on three targets in his debut with Detroit in Week 11, Reynolds has gathered in 10 of 17 targets for 191 yards and one touchdown over the last three contests.
Dec 12, 2021
Three catches in loss
Reynolds caught three of five targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
While he didn't see a lot of volume, Reynolds was able to make a bit of an impact as a downfield option for Jared Goff. The wideout has topped 50 yards in three straight games, posting a 10-191-1 line on 17 targets over that stretch and giving him some deep-league fantasy appeal heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cardinals.
Dec 5, 2021
Totals 69 yards
Reynolds caught four of seven targets for 69 yards during Sunday's 29-27 win over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds got open for a number of decent gains and ultimately finished third in targets behind T.J. Hockenson and rookie receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who set season highs in nearly every receiving category. However, St. Brown primarily worked underneath whereas Reynolds again seemed like the top perimeter option. While the floor is low for any receiver in this poor Lions offense, Reynolds seems seems to be emerging as Detroit's highest-upside fantasy option outside of Hockenson and D'Andre Swift (shoulder).
Nov 25, 2021
Bounces back against Bears
Reynolds caught three of five targets for 70 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
It's crazy that Reynolds started the month as a healthy scratch in Tennessee but has finished it as arguably Detroit's No. 1 wide receiver. While his upside will forever be capped as long as Jared Goff is throwing him passes, Reynolds at least seems to have a strong rapport with the former No. 1 overall pick thanks to the four years they spent together in Los Angeles. Should he continue to handle a large market share within Detroit's receiving corps going forward, it's possible that Reynolds could become a respectable fantasy contributor down the stretch.
Nov 21, 2021
Forgettable Lions debut
Reynolds saw three targets but did not record a catch during Sunday's 13-10 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The bright side is that Reynolds has immediately ascended to the top of Detroit's depth chart after being claimed off waivers less than two weeks ago, logging 41 of 46 offensive snaps and seeing three of the eight targets that were directed to wide receivers. The flip side is that no Detroit receiver was productive with backup Tim Boyle under center, and it didn't help that Reynolds also dropped a pass, committed an offensive pass interference penalty, and displayed questionable effort on more than one occasion. While things should improve as Reynolds gets more acquainted with his new team, the Lions passing offense could again by hamstrung by Boyles' ineptitude if Jared Goff (ribs) remains sidelined in Week 12 against Chicago.
Nov 20, 2021
Golden opportunity in Detroit
Reynolds could realistically finish the season as the Lions' top wideout, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Detroit's ill-fated offseason plan to lean on Tyrell Williams (concussion) and Breshad Perriman as its starting receivers has gone about as poorly as possible. While the 5-foot-8 Kalif Raymond has flashed a couple of times this year as the de-factor No. 1 wide receiver in their stead, it's fair to wonder how many other teams would even consider Raymond for a key offensive role -- especially since this is the first time in six years in which he's reached 10 receptions in a season. While Reynolds is no worldbeater himself, his lanky frame and decent speed are reminiscent of former Lions wideout Marvin Jones, and he presumably has an established rapport with quarterback Jared Goff (oblique) after spending four years with him in Los Angeles from 2017 to 2020. While Reynolds' team debut Sunday against Cleveland may not go well with backup temporarily Tim Boyle under center, it is not a stretch to think that Reynolds could make a name for himself down the stretch once Goff is back in action.
Nov 15, 2021
Slated to debut Week 11
Reynolds is expected to be active for Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was a healthy scratch for Week 10 after he was claimed off waivers by the Lions on Wednesday. However, he'll make his team debut against Cleveland in Week 11. The 26-year-old appeared in five games with the Titans earlier in the year and hauled in 10 of 13 targets for 90 yards.
Nov 14, 2021
Won't play Week 10
Reynolds is listed as inactive Week 10 against Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was claimed off waivers by Detroit just four days ago and likely hasn't had enough time to get acclimated to the offensive scheme just yet. The fifth-year wideout will now set his sights on making his Lions debut next week against Cleveland.
Nov 10, 2021
Claimed by Lions
The Lions claimed Reynolds off waivers Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The location gives him a path to playing time and targets, though Reynolds also had a nice opportunity in Tennessee and failed to take advantage while both A.J. Brown and Julio Jones were dealing with injuries earlier this season. Reynolds will now try to work his way up a Detroit depth chart where the likes of Kalif Raymond and Amon-Ra St. Brown stand at the top.
Nov 9, 2021
Time in Nashville over
Tennessee waived Reynolds on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tennessee signed Reynolds to a one-year, $1.75 million deal this offseason with the hope that he would become a reliable depth option at wideout behind A.J. Brown and Julio Jones, but that plan never came to fruition. Before being a healthy scratch last week against his former Rams squad, the 26-year-old appeared in five games for the Titans and produced a 10-90-0 receiving line on 13 targets. With his playing-time outlook unlikely to improve, Reynolds requested his release earlier this week, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. He'll now be exposed to waivers, and with just $500,000 remaining on his contract for 2021, Reynolds could make sense as a potential claim for several wideout-needy teams.
Nov 7, 2021
Healthy scratch Sunday
Reynolds (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was on the field for just five offensive snaps last week, and he'll be held out for Sunday night's matchup. The 26-year-old has hauled in 10 of 13 targets for 90 yards across five appearances this season.
Oct 29, 2021
Clear for Sunday
Reynolds (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
An offseason signing of the Titans, Reynolds' playing time has been sporadic, as he's been active four times in seven games on his way to 10 catches (on 13 targets) for 90 yards and no touchdowns. With Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined again Sunday, Reynolds will be among Tennessee's available wide receivers behind A.J. Brown and alongside Chester Rogers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Marcus Johnson.
Oct 28, 2021
Sits with illness
Reynolds didn't participate at practice Thursday due to an illness, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The specifics of the ailment remain unclear, but Reynold was unable to practice Thursday after being absent from the injury report Wednesday. He may need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up Sunday at Indianapolis.
Oct 25, 2021
Racks up 23 yards
Reynolds recorded three receptions on three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds has had an inconsistent start to his tenure with the Titans, though he now has multiple receptions in two of his last three games. He benefited from the absence of Chester Rogers (groin) and worked primarily in short areas of the field, with his longest reception of the day going for 11 yards. Reynolds may work behind Rogers when he can return, but Reynolds appears to have moved ahead of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Marcus Johnson for the time being.
Oct 24, 2021
Suits up in Week 7
Reynolds is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After being inactive this past Monday, Reynolds is back in uniform Sunday. However, with both Julio Jones and A.J. Brown available, Reynolds isn't a high-percentage fantasy play, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Marcus Johnson also in the team's Week 7 WR mix.
Oct 18, 2021
Healthy scratch for MNF
Reynold (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds caught his only target for eight yards during Week 5 and now is a healthy scratch versus Buffalo. Marcus Johnson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will operate as Tennessee's depth options at wide receiver.
Oct 4, 2021
Heavily involved against Jets
Reynolds recorded six receptions on nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds made his debut with the Titans after being slowed by a foot injury and serving as a healthy scratch through three weeks of the season. However, he immediately occupied a big role in the offense and was only out-targeted by Jeremy McNichols. He did a lot of work in the middle range of the field, with the majority of his receptions picking up between seven and 12 yards. Reynolds' potential involvement in the team's Week 5 offensive attack will likely revolve around the availability of Julio Jones (hamstring) and A.J. Brown (hamstring) -- both of whom were absent against the Jets.
Sep 30, 2021
Should rejoin wideout group Week 4
Reynolds is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Jets with the statuses of fellow wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (leg) in doubt for the contest, Michael Gallagher of NashvillePost.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Both Brown and Jones have missed the first two practices of Week 4, and both will likely need to turn in at least limited showings Friday to gain clearance for Sunday. If both Brown and Jones are sidelined this weekend, Reynolds could go from a healthy inactive to a starter for Tennessee. Reynolds has played only 11 offensive snaps through Tennessee's first three games, but he proved to be a reliable complementary target for the Rams in 2021, catching 52 balls for 618 yards and two scores in 16 games. Reynolds would likely join Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in three-receiver sets in the absences of Brown and Jones.
Sep 26, 2021
Inactive Sunday
Reynolds (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
With Reynolds a scratch Sunday, A.J. Brown and Julio Jones will continue to head the Titans' Week 3 WR corps, while Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine mix in.
Sep 15, 2021
Upgrades to full practice
Reynolds (foot) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With that, he's in line to return for Week 2 at Seattle, after missing the season-opening blowlout loss to Arizona. The Titans used slot specialist Chester Rogers as their No. 3 receiver in the contest, so Reynolds may be returning to a minimal role as an occasional sub for Julio Jones or A.J. Brown.
Sep 12, 2021
Inactive Sunday
Reynolds (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
With Reynolds out, added snaps are available for Chester Rogers and possibly Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. However, in an offense paced by running back Derrick Henry and clear-cut top wideouts A.J. Brown and Julio Jones, steady volume may be hard to come by for the team's complementary skill players.
Sep 10, 2021
Questionable for opener
Reynolds (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was limited again Friday after logging a limited session in Thursday's practice. Tennessee's unlikely to get many contributions from wide receivers other than A.J. Brown and Julio Jones, but Reynolds would still benefit from establishing himself as the next man up should one of the two established starters suffer an injury.
Sep 9, 2021
Limited in practice
Reynolds was limited in practice Thursday due to a foot injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The specifics of Reynolds' injury aren't yet clear, but his status for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Cardinals could come into focus based on his participation in practice leading up to the season opener. If the 26-year-old is unable to suit up Sunday, Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could see increased snaps.
Aug 22, 2021
Targeted once
Reynolds recorded one target and no receptions in Saturday's preseason contest against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds sat in the team's first preseason game, so this serves as his debut in Tennessee. His lone target came in the red zone on the team's third offensive possession. Though Reynolds appeared to be headed for a big role when he first signed with the Titans, the addition of Julio Jones (undisclosed) limits his potential target volume.
Aug 9, 2021
Listed as starter
Reynolds was listed as a starter on the team's first official depth chart of the season, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was sidelined by an undisclosed injury in early August, though he's since returned to log several consecutive practice sessions. Apparently that was enough to keep him in a starting spot on the depth chart, alongside Julio Jones (undisclosed) and A.J. Brown. Reynolds should be in line to command the third-highest target total on the team this season, though that still may not translate to enough volume for him to perform consistently on a weekly basis.
Aug 6, 2021
Returns to practice
Reynolds (undisclosed) is practicing Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds missed several days of practice due to an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he's already returned to full health. With Julio Jones (undisclosed) still not present at any on-field activities, Reynolds should be in line to handle increased reps behind A.J. Brown.
Aug 3, 2021
Missing several days of practice
Reynolds has missed practice since Friday, likely due to an undisclosed injury, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds was seen leaving practice early on Thursday, though it didn't stand out as an issue at the time because the team has given veterans days off throughout camp. However, it may now be worth noting his absence, as it has extended to five days after he remained out Tuesday. Reynolds was viewed as the team's second receiver until the addition of Julio Jones. While he should still have a role as the Titans' third wideout, this missed practice time is concerning given that he just joined the team this offseason.
Jun 7, 2021
Sinks on depth chart
Reynolds' projected role has diminished since the Titans acquired Julio Jones, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds spent the first four seasons of his career buried on the Rams' depth chart behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods, as well as Sammy Watkins and Brandin Cooks at various points. It appeared that he was destined for a bigger role after joining the Titans in the offseason, though the team's recent addition of Jones calls into question how many targets Reynolds may see as a member of a run-heavy offense. Even so, he should remain on the field regularly in three-receiver formations.
Mar 22, 2021
Headed to Tennessee
Reynolds is signing with the Titans, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2017 fourth-round pick, Reynolds started 24 of 64 games in four seasons with the Rams, maxing out at five touchdowns (2018) and 618 yards (2020). He profiles as the No. 2 receiver on Tennessee's roster, though he'll likely be a downgrade from Corey Davis, who signed with the Jets last week. The Titans could still use more help behind A.J. Brown at wide receiver, especially given that TE Jonnu Smith (Patriots) is also gone.
Jan 19, 2021
Likely hitting free-agent market
Reynolds isn't expected to sign an extension with the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
While the 25-year-old receiver finished the season with career-high totals in receptions (52), receiving yards (618) and offensive snaps (803), he never fully took advantage of his role as the No. 3 receiver in the offense. Reynolds was a hopeful deep threat but only had one reception for over 40 yards, and he matched his yard-per-target mark of 7.6 from his previous two seasons. He should receive some attention in the free-agent market, but Reynolds is unlikely to elevate beyond being a supporting and/or depth receiver.
Jan 16, 2021
Leads way with 65 yards
Reynolds recorded three receptions on four targets for 65 yards in the Rams' divisional-round loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds saw an increased role in the absence of Cooper Kupp (knee) and took advantage by leading the team in receiving yards. He operated effectively over the middle of the field, racking up receptions of 28 and 21 yards. After recording 52 receptions for 618 yards and two touchdowns across 16 games in the regular season, Reynolds will hit the free agent market for the first time in his career this offseason.
Jan 11, 2021
Not targeted against Seahawks
Reynolds played 43 of 73 offensive snaps but didn't receive a target during Saturday's 30-20 win over Seattle.
ANALYSIS
The Rams only attacked vertically 25 times and completed just 12 passes, so there wasn't a lot of work available for Reynolds and the rest of the receiving corps. While it's likely Los Angeles will need to air it out more often in the Divisional Round against the Packers, Reynolds has been held to just 22 receptions for 202 yards over the past eight games. The fourth-year receiver is likely best viewed as a high-risk, medium-reward fantasy option against Green Bay.
Jan 4, 2021
Hauls in four passes
Reynolds caught four of his six targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 18-7 win over Arizona.
ANALYSIS
There were more looks in the passing attack with Cooper Kupp (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but it was rookie Van Jefferson who received the more notable statistical uptick. While Reynolds set career-high marks in receptions (52), receiving yards (618) and offensive snaps (748) this season, the fourth-year receiver wasn't able to carve out a consistent enough role in the Los Angeles offense to be a reliable asset in most settings. Kupp is expected to return for the wild-card matchup against Seattle, so Reynolds will probably remain a risky fantasy option.
Dec 28, 2020
Garners team-high 10 looks
Reynolds caught six of 10 targets for 65 yards and rushed once for five yards during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
After receiving just four targets over the previous three games, this was a noticeable boost in opportunities for Reynolds. However, his Week 17 outlook probably isn't favorable after quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday. If Goff is unable to suit up, backup QB John Walford projects to start, but Walford hasn't seen competitive action since the 2019 preseason. Looking ahead to 2021, it's worth noting that Reynolds is in the final year of his rookie contract.
Dec 21, 2020
Targets continue to decline
Reynolds caught both his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
After being targeted 39 times during a five-game stretch from Week 7 through 12, Reynolds has just four receptions for 36 yards on five targets the past three weeks. The Rams are utilizing 12 personnel more frequently, and the fourth-year wide receiver's numbers have taken a noticeable hit as a result. It's likely best to consider Reynolds a desperation start in the majority of fantasy settings in Week 16.
Dec 11, 2020
Quiet in win over Pats
Reynolds caught a six-yard reception during Thursday's 24-3 win over New England. He played 35 offensive snaps and was targeted twice.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds dropped an accurate pass from quarterback Jared Goff in the second quarter before securing his only other target with Los Angeles up 17-3 in the third frame. The Rams went on to score during the same drive, and then Goff only attempted three passes in the fourth quarter. Reynolds has been limited to just two receptions for 27 yards over the past two weeks, and with LA rushing effectively in 12 personnel during the noted stretch, the fourth-year receivers' targets and snaps could remain low. His fantasy value is trending in the wrong direction.
Dec 7, 2020
Garners single target in win
Reynolds caught his only target for 21 yards during Sunday's 38-28 win over Arizona.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year receiver saw his playing time decrease Sunday with rookie Van Jefferson playing two more offensive snaps and receiving five targets. It's likely a sign of things to come, as Reynolds is in the final year of his rookie contract. A second-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, Jefferson is also probably a more promising talent. Still, Reynolds isn't going to disappear from the offensive game plan, and it's most likely he and Jefferson see a similar snap and target share moving forward. It's a definite hit to Reynolds' immediate fantasy value, and his long-term outlook is also uninspiring. It's unlikely he is anything more than a supporting receiver again in 2021, especially if he is re-signed by Los Angeles.
Nov 30, 2020
Targets keep piling up
Reynolds caught five of six targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year receiver has turned 39 targets into 24 receptions for 262 yards and a touchdown through the past five games. Those numbers don't jump off the page, but Reynolds is still proving to be a serviceable asset in deep fantasy settings. Additionally, while fellow wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods have higher ceilings, Reynolds' production floor has been consistent during the noted stretch.
Nov 24, 2020
Garners six more targets in win
Reynolds caught three of six targets for 32 yards during Monday's 27-24 win over Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year receiver is up to a respectable 19 receptions, 222 yards and a touchdown on 33 targets over the past four weeks. So, while it wasn't a big fantasy showing Monday, Reynolds remained involved and actually played the second most offensive snaps (65 of 72) among Los Angeles wide receivers. His 18-yard catch in the third quarter also set up the Rams' touchdown to pull ahead 24-17. Additionally, quarterback Jared Goff looked Reynolds' way twice more on deep routes following the TD. All said, Reynolds appears locked into a prominent role, but he's probably one of the least talented options in the Los Angeles passing attack. Additionally, it's worth noting that head coach Sean McVay and Goff looked rookie Van Jefferson's way for a touchdown in the second quarter to tie the game at 14-14.
Nov 15, 2020
Leading receiver against Seattle
Reynolds caught eight of 10 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
While the Rams did all their scoring on the ground with three TD runs from inside the 10-yard line, they moved the ball effectively through the air, and Reynolds surprisingly led the team in catches, targets and yards while posting more receiving yards than Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods combined. Reynolds will likely have a hard time putting together a repeat performance in Week 11 on the road against the Buccaneers, however.
Nov 1, 2020
Four more grabs in loss
Reynolds brought in four of nine targets for 44 yards in the Rams' 28-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Six days after seeing a season-high eight targets against the Bears, Reynolds beat that tally by one Sunday while also equaling his season high in receptions. The fourth-year wideout drew even with Gerald Everett for a distant second on the day in looks behind Cooper Kupp's astounding 21, and it appears his profile in the air attack appears to be on an upswing. Reynolds will be a player to monitor in Week 10 against the Seahawks following a Week 9 bye.
Oct 27, 2020
Scores once again
Reynolds caught four of eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-10 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds led the Rams in targets and receiving yards while finding the end zone for the second straight game. Compared to his 40-yarder in Week 6, however, Reynolds' score Monday came from just four yards out. Nonetheless, with at least 45 receiving yards in four of his last five outings, Reynolds is building decent steam ahead of this Sunday's game against the Dolphins, with his recent touchdowns adding extra interest.
Oct 19, 2020
Finally finds pay dirt
Reynolds caught two of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-16 loss to San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
The score was Reynolds' first of the season and came with just 3:24 left in the fourth quarter to bring the Rams within one score of the 49ers. The catch was also all the more impressive because the fourth-year receiver fought through pass interference from 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley to haul in the 40-yard deep ball. Still, prospective fantasy managers will want to keep expectations in check. This was just the second touchdown reception over the past two years for Reynolds, and he's still firmly behind Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp on the wide receiver depth chart. Additionally, tight ends Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett are both active in the passing attack and combined for eight targets Sunday.
Oct 12, 2020
Still looking for first score
Reynolds caught two of four targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 30-10 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Despite being the clear No. 3 receiver for the Rams, Reynolds isn't making much of a fantasy impact. He played 49 of 68 offensive snaps Sunday, but there are just too many weapons in the Los Angeles offense for him to pad his stat line. As it stands, it'll likely take an injury to Cooper Kupp or Robert Woods for Reynolds to be a reliable factor in the passing attack. Tight end Gerald Everett is also beginning to be more involved in the offense, which is another knock on Reynolds' outlook for the immediate future.
Oct 5, 2020
Clear No. 3 receiver
Reynolds caught three of four targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants. He played 30 of 57 offensive snaps.
ANALYSIS
After splitting time with rookie Van Jefferson through the first two weeks of the season, Reynolds has played 92 offensive snaps to Jefferson's 11 the past two games. Reynolds is clearly the No. 3 wide receiver on the depth chart for the time being, and while it hasn't translated into significant fantasy production, the fourth-year wideout has a respectable seven receptions for 85 yards through the past two weeks. In deep settings, he's a player to keep an eye on and would obviously gain value if injuries struck the Los Angeles receiving corps.
Oct 1, 2020
Resumes practicing in full
Reynolds (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, but it looks as though he's already returned to full health. The 25-year-old saw 90 percent of offensive snaps Week 3, and he now looks in line to handle his usual role on offense behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods during Sunday's game against the Giants.
Sep 30, 2020
Comes down with illness
Reynolds (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Among players not named Cam Akers (ribs) on the Rams' Week 4 injury report, coach Sean McVay expects them to play Sunday versus the Giants. Reynolds has been afforded a significant workload -- including 90 percent of the plays on offense Week 3 in Buffalo -- en route to seven catches (on eight targets) for 110 yards through three games. Look for his status to be clarified by week's end.
Sep 28, 2020
Plays season-high 62 snaps
Reynolds caught four of his five targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 35-32 loss to Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
This was Reynolds' best showing of the year, and he also played a season-high 62 offensive snaps. Rookie receiver Van Jefferson appeared on the verge of leapfrogging Reynolds on the depth chart, but Sunday's snap share favored the third-year wideout by a large margin. Jefferson only played eight offensive snaps. Still, Reynolds is a risky start in the majority of fantasy settings, and Jefferson is also probably the better long-term option for the Rams.
Sep 21, 2020
Just two catches against Eagles
Reynold caught both his targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 37-19 win over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year receiver's two targets ranked sixth on the team and fourth among wide outs, so while Reynolds played a respectable 42 of 69 offensive snaps, he didn't have a significant impact. Additionally, with rookie Van Jefferson impressing again Sunday, Reynolds could quickly see himself relegated to fourth on the wide receiver depth chart and playing less. Barring an injury to another Los Angeles receiver, Reynolds' fantasy value is probably on the decline.

Held to one catch in opener
Reynolds had a 17-yard reception and played 37 of 73 offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The Cowboys stopped Reynolds at the two-yard line on his only reception, so had he found the end zone, his fantasy day would have obviously been much better. As it was, running back Malcolm Brown scored on the next play. Reynolds also nearly split playing time with rookie receiver Van Jefferson with the latter playing 33 offensive snaps. Making matters worse for Reynolds, Jefferson was targeted three times and hauled in an impressive 31-yard reception. The fourth-year wideout should continue to see regular snaps and targets, but he could also quickly begin to lose opportunities to Jefferson, especially if the rookie continues to look as polished as he did Sunday.

Projects as No. 3 wideout
Reynolds is projected to begin the 2020 season as the Rams' No. 3 wide receiver, Cameron Desilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
After trading Brandin Cooks to Houston this offseason, there was an open competition between Reynolds and rookie second-round pick Van Jefferson for the No. 3 job behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods. Reynolds had modest success as a starter last season, recording nine receptions for 177 yards and a touchdown over the three games where he logged greater than an 80-percent snap share. However, Jefferson has impressed in training camp, and Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic believes the rookie will overtake Reynolds sooner rather than later.

No lock to climb depth chart
Reynolds will compete for playing time this season with 2020 second-round selection Van Jefferson (foot), Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Interestingly, after receiving a vote of confidence from head coach Sean McVay in early April, the organization selected Jefferson in the second round Friday. Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp are locked in as the top two receivers on the depth chart, and there's no guarantee Reynolds maintains his position as the No. 3 receiver throughout the season. The 2017 third-round pick has received chances to prove himself over the first three years of his career but has failed to fully capitalize on his opportunities. It will be important to monitor Jefferson's health entering the season after he underwent foot surgery in February. If the rookie is healthy, Reynolds' fantasy value will probably take a hit.

Earns McVay's confidence
Coach Sean McVay said Reynolds is a starting-caliber receiver, Joe Curley of the Ventura County Star reports.
ANALYSIS
McVay also mentioned that the recent trade sending Brandin Cooks to Houston could be interpreted as a "big vote of confidence" in Reynolds, who has started 11 of 48 games in three pro seasons. He's averaging 3.3 catches for 46 yards and 0.55 TDs on 5.8 targets as a starter, logging more than 80 percent of offensive snaps in 10 of the 11 games. It's possible the No. 3 WR role comes with less playing time in 2020, as the decision to trade Cooks could also lead to increased use of multi-TE formations, a strategy that McVay mostly shied away from the past few seasons. In any case, Reynolds has a nice opportunity ahead of him as he prepares for the fourth and final season of his rookie contract.

In line for more snaps?
Reynolds is a candidate for more work in 2020 following the trade of Brandin Cooks from the Rams to the Texans, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rams still boast a formidable wide receiver duo of Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods, but their consistent use of 11 personnel (i.e. utilizing three-wide sets) under Sean McVay implies a bigger role for Reynolds. Even after pacing the NFL by trotting out the formation 89 percent of the time in 2018, L.A.'s offense ranked third last season at 73 percent. Additionally, the combined loss of Cooks and Todd Gurley opens up 121 targets from what was the fourth-ranked passing attack in 2019. Reynolds isn't close to the deep threat that is Cooks, but the former has been productive when on the field the past two campaigns, averaging 7.6 YPT and scoring six TDs on 96 targets.

Ready for MNF
Reynolds (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old started the week not practicing due to the illness, but he was able to progress to full participation Saturday to avoid the questionable tag. Reynolds is coming off decent production in Week 11 with three catches for 55 yards, but he should return to a lesser role versus Baltimore with Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Robert Woods (personal) both also clear of injury designations.
