Jordan Reed San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints
It looks like Jordan Reed is going to be the starting TE for the 49ers for the rest of the season. This week Reed is a good streaming option this week if you have the Chiefs Travis Kelce on a bye this week. The 49ers are starting QB Nick Mullins again this week which should mean plenty of targets as Mullins should look for quick and easy throws to the TE. The Saints have given up an average of 49 receiving yards per game to opposing TEs this season. They have given up a top 10 TE finish in 5 of the 8 games that they have played this season. Saints have given up a touchdown reception to a TE in 5 of 8 games this season. The Saints have given up an average of 14.94 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 26th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
