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 the snaps on offense. With 13 targets, 146 receiving yards and the two touchdowns 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 being unable to play through the groin injury this Sunday versus the Falcons.

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.

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…read more

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 also was 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…read more

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.

Sidelined with illness
Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.
Analysis: The severity of the aliment remains unclear, but Reynolds will have two more opportunities to practice before the Lions need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's game against the Bears. Even though rookie first-round pick Jameson Williams has been available for each of the Lions' last four games, he has yet to dramatically encroach on Reynolds' role within the Detroit offense. Reynolds has played between 59 and 78 percent of the snaps on offense the past four weeks, though he has a…read more

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.

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.

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 that 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 this coming Sunday.

Returns to sizable role
Reynolds caught three of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 40-14 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 he can return to his…read more

Small role in return
Reynolds wasn't targeted during his time on the field in Thursday's 28-25 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.

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…read more

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.

Questionable for Thursday
Reynolds (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Bills.
Analysis: After being listed as a limited participant on two of the Lions' practice reports during Week 12 prep, Reynolds may have done enough to suit up for the first time since Week 8, after he's missed three consecutive contests due to a back issue. If he's active Thursday, Reynolds likely will join DJ Chark (ankle) as the team's secondary options at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown.

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 a win over the Giants. If Reynolds is able to string together back-to-back sessions this week, he could be a candidate to return to action Thursday versus the Bills. Wednesday's injury report could give a clearer picture of his upcoming availability.

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 practiced in a limited fashion last Thursday 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 Reynolds may be trending toward a fourth straight absence.

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 appears no better than 50/50 ahead of Sunday's 1:00 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.

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.

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 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.

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 had four straight games with at least three catches for 38 yards before that, but he hasn't scored a touchdown this season, nor has he seen more than seven targets in a single game.

Misses practice again Friday
Reynolds (back) won't practice Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Lions head 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 game. If Reynolds isn't available, Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy will stand to see increased opportunities behind Amon-Ra St. Brown.

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.

Not at practice
Reynolds (back) isn't practicing Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: While Reynolds was sidelined for Sunday's win over Green Bay, the Lions turned to Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy for most of the receiver reps behind top target Amon-Ra St. Brown. None of the three wideouts did much, in part because Jared Goff tied a season low of 26 pass attempts. Reynolds looks iffy for the Lions' game in Chicago this Sunday as he starts the week off with a missed practice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Week 9 against Green Bay.

The 27-year-old played 80 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 7 loss, and he'll have a better matchup this Sunday at home against the Dolphins.

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 needs to miss time, Reynolds would slot in as the Detroit's clear No. 1 option at wideout in Week 8 against Miami.

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.

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.

Dealing with knee issue
Reynolds 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.

In fact, he had 269 yards and 28 targets in the final three games before the bye, seeing extra work because fellow Lions wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark suffered more serious ankle injuries.

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 listed as questionable. As such, if Reynolds is indeed available, he could garner another hefty target count.

He could see that type of volume again this Sunday in New England if he's able to play through his ankle injury and if both Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle) can't manage to do the same.

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…read more

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 this week, Reynolds will look to replicate his success from last Sunday at Minnesota, where he hauled in six of 10 targets for 96 yards.

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…read more

Reynolds (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Though Reynolds and tight end T.J.

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.

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 receivers 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 them…read more

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 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.

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.

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.

No snaps against Colts
Reynolds was not available 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.

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 catch 19 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns over seven games for Detroit. Garafolo indicates that retaining the 2017 fourth-rounder was something the team wanted to get done before free agency, and the Lions will likely continue to add wideout depth as the offseason unfolds.

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 while he was on the reserve/COVID-19 list. As per usual, he 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Friday he expects that 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 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 with Tim Boyle starting at quarterback in Detroit's loss to Atlanta. If activated, Reynolds will have to make do again with Boyle, who is expected to draw another start with Jared Goff (knee) listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest.

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.

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.

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.

He proceeded to suit up and handle a slightly reduced workload (63 percent of offensive snaps) on his way to hauling in all six of his targets for 68 yards and one touchdown in the 30-12 win.

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.

Questionable to face Arizona
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.

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.

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.

While the 5-foot-8 Kalif Raymond has flashed a couple of times this year as the de-facto 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 he's reached 10 receptions in a season.

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.

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 team's season-opening blowout 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.

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.

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 doing the same thing at Thursday's practice. Tennessee is unlikely to get many contributions from wide receivers other than A.J. Brown and Julio Jones, but Reynolds still would benefit from establishing himself as the next man up should one of the two starters suffer an injury.

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.

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.

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.

Missing several days of practice
Reynolds has not been at practice since Thursay, likely due to an undisclosed injury, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
Analysis: Reynolds was seen leaving practice early 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 No. 2 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…read more

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, but 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, Reynolds should remain on the field regularly in three-receiver formations.

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 still could use more help behind A.J. Brown at wide receiver, especially given that TE Jonnu Smith (Patriots) also is gone.

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 viewed as a possible deep threat but only had one reception for over 40 yards, and he matched his yard-per-target mark of 7.6 from the previous two seasons. He should receive some attention in the free-agent market, but Reynolds is unlikely to elevate beyond…read more

Leads way with 65 yards
Reynolds recorded three receptions on four targets for 65 yards in the Rams' divisional-round loss to the Packers on Saturday.
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.

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 attempted 25 passes and completed just 12 of them, so there wasn't a lot of work available for Reynolds and the rest of the receiving corps. While Los Angeles may 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 Saturday.

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.

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.

Targets continue to decline
Reynolds caught both of 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 Week 16.

Reynolds made 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.

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.

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.

While he didn't deliver a big fantasy showing Monday, Reynolds remained involved and actually played the second most offensive snaps (65 of 72) among Los Angeles wide receivers.

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.

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 is on the upswing. Reynolds will be a player to monitor in Week 10 against the Seahawks following a Week 9 bye.

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.

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 also was 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…read more

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.

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 as 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.

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 wideouts, 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.

Analysis: The Rams still boast a formidable wide receiver duo of Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods atop the depth chart, but their consistent use of 11 personnel (i.e. three-wideout sets) under Sean McVay implies a bigger role for Reynolds may be on the horizon.

He did show off in space again Saturday by rattling off 23 yards after the catch on his 24-yard reception in the first quarter -- his eighth of over 20 yards this season.

Analysis: After receiving the second most playing time among Los Angeles receivers last week, Reynolds ranked fourth among Rams wideouts Sunday. He continues to show well when given opportunities, but his role is both small and inconsistent, so he's an unreliable fantasy asset in most formats.
