Jalen Reagor Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Reagor has been a player that has caught the eye of new head coach Kevin O'Connell. O'Connell mentioned that the team needs "to find ways to activate what he does well," while going on to say that he thinks "this offense provides him a real platform." Although the former first-round pick could be a good fit with his new team, there is a lot of competition for targets as Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and K.J. Osborn headline the wide receiver core in Minnesota. Despite being in a pass-heavy offense, the third-year wideout likely needs somebody ahead of him to miss time to have any fantasy relevance. He can be left on waivers to open the 2022 season.

The Minnesota Vikings acquired wide receiver Jalen Reagor from the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday in exchange for a 2023 seventh-round draft pick and a 2024 conditional fourth-round pick that would become a fifth-rounder if certain statistical marks are not met, according to sources. Reagor, a former first-rounder in 2020, disappointed in his two seasons in Philly, catching 64 of 111 targets for 695 yards and three touchdowns in 28 games (24 starts). He'll join an already crowded Vikings group of pass-catchers in Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn. Minnesota should be a pass-happy offense under new head coach Kevin O'Connell, but unless an injury opens up a bigger role for Reagor, he'll still likely belong on the waiver wire in standard 12-team leagues. Reagor's presence is certainly bad news for Osborn's chances of a third-year breakout.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor caught two of his four targets for 17 yards during Sunday's preseason win over the Cleveland Browns. Many were looking for the former first-round pick to impress against the Browns' backups, but he again put up a lackluster preseason performance. Reagor is clearly well behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Quez Watkins on the wide receiver depth chart, but Zach Pascal could be moving ahead of him after reports of him impressing in camp. With reserve wide receivers like Deon Cain and Devon Allen posting bigger numbers in this game and showing more explosiveness than Reagor, the rumors that the former TCU alum is on the roster bubble could be eerily accurate. Reagor is an easy fade in redraft leagues and could see the majority of his dynasty value evaporate unless he is traded to a receiver-needy team.
