Strong complementary effort

Reynolds brought in four of his seven targets for 74 yards and rushed once for 16 yards during the Rams' 26-23 overtime win over the Saints in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

Analysis: The evolution of Reynolds as a legitimate third receiver continued in significant fashion Sunday, as the second-year wideout made several key plays in the second half. He logged a 33-yard catch that got the Rams down to the Saints' seven-yard line in the fourth quarter on a drive that culminated in a game-tying Greg Zuerlein field goal. Reynolds followed up with a 19-yard grab on the subsequent possession, one which also ended on a successful Zuerlein kick that sent the game into overtime. The…read more

Shows off in third quarter

Reynolds caught four of seven targets for 55 yards and two third-quarter touchdowns during Sunday's 48-32 win over San Francisco.

Analysis: The two scores came on Los Angeles' first two drives of the third quarter, and while the Rams were in the driver's seat throughout Sunday's game, they pulled away to a 45-17 lead after Reynolds' second touchdown. It's been a promising late-season run for the sophomore. He's stepped up with Cooper Kupp (knee) out of action, accumulating 22 receptions for 304 yards and three touchdowns over the past six games while also receiving nine red-zone looks. Reynolds also could prove to be a sneaky…read more

Pair of grabs in win

Reynolds hauled in both of his targets for 44 yards in the Rams' 31-9 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Analysis: Reynolds served in his usual role as a complementary option alongside Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks, shaking loose downfield for gains of 18 and 26 yards. The 23-year-old has been solid in place of Cooper Kupp (knee), as he's totaled 18 catches over the last five games. He'll look to head into the postseason with some momentum against the 49ers in Week 17, a game the Rams will need to win to secure the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye.

Sees season high in targets

Reynolds caught five passes (12 targets) for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to Philadelphia.

Analysis: Reynolds surprisingly led the Rams in targets, hitting double digits in the category for the first time this season. The 23-year-old failed to corral 50 percent of his targets for the third consecutive week, hence the solid, but unspectacular, stat line given the amount of balls thrown his way. Reynolds could see more targets next week as well with Patrick Peterson likely staying on a combination of Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks on Sunday, but he still shouldn't be considered anything more…read more

Inefficient with seven targets

Reynolds reeled in three of his seven targets for 36 yards Sunday in the Rams' 15-6 loss to the Bears.

Analysis: Reynolds' meager yardage total actually ranked second among all Rams players, illustrating the difficulty quarterback Jared Goff had with moving the chains against the stout Chicago defense. The second-year receiver has seen his role expand since Cooper Kupp (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 10, but Reynolds has yet to establish himself as a viable option in fantasy lineups outside of deeper formats. In the Rams' three games sans Kupp, Reynolds has nabbed only 11 of 20 targets…read more

Unimpressive out of bye week

Reynolds caught two of his five targets for only 19 yards during Sunday's 30-16 win over Detroit.

Analysis: This was a discouraging showing for Reynolds following Los Angeles' Week 12 bye. He recorded 80 receiving yards and a score against Kansas City in his last outing, and now that he's in a starting role, he's positioned for success. Playing 67 of 69 offensive snaps against the Lions also bodes well for his fantasy outlook. While Reynolds' probably shouldn't be considered a reliable asset, the upside is definitely there.

Career highs in Monday's victory

Reynolds caught six of eight targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 54-51 win over the Chiefs.

Analysis: Reynolds assumed Cooper Kupp's (knee) vacated starting position and fared quite well in an expanded role. Not only did he make a superb grab for a four-yard touchdown during the first quarter, but he finished behind only Brandin Cooks in catches and receiving yards. In doing so, last year's fourth-round pick set career highs, giving him great momentum heading into Los Angeles' bye week.

Likely to start Week 11

Reynolds is expected to start against Kansas City in Week 11 with Cooper Kupp (knee) out for the season, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis: Los Angeles leans heavily on three-receiver sets, so Reynolds is positioned to see a significant uptick in offensive snaps and targets. He recorded four receptions for 61 yards and two touchdowns in the two games Kupp missed earlier this season, and Reynolds also posted an 8-60-1 line over a three-week stretch in 2017 when Robert Woods was out with a shoulder injury. Being attached to a prolific offense is a huge plus for the second-year receiver, and he projects to be a popular waiver-wire add…read more

Hardly sees field in Week 9 loss

Reynolds played just two of 60 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 45-35 loss to New Orleans.

Analysis: With Cooper Kupp back from a knee injury, Reynolds' field time was predictably limited in Week 9. The sophomore out of Texas A&M is clearly not a viable fantasy asset when the Rams are at full health, but Reynolds also proved last week against the Packers that he's capable of climbing the depth chart and contributing if given the opportunity.

Registers two scores as Rams win

Reynolds collected three receptions for 42 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 29-27 win against the Packers.

Analysis: Reynolds accumulated a season-high five targets as Cooper Kupp (knee) missed his second consecutive start Sunday, The 23-year-old seemed to inherit Kupp's red-zone target share, scoring touchdowns from one and 19 yards out against a Packers defense that entered Week 8 allowing the second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing wideouts in 2018 (12). A potential NFC Championship preview against New Orleans awaits Sunday, as Reynolds aims to capitalize on a matchup against a Saints secondary that's…read more

Hauls in 19-yard reception

Reynolds caught his only target for 19 yards during Sunday's 39-10 win over San Francisco.

Analysis: The sophomore receiver made his second career start and played 51 of 61 offensive snaps Sunday. His lone reception almost resulted in a touchdown, as Reynolds was brought down at the 49ers' 1-yard line to set up a Todd Gurley rushing score on the next play. With Cooper Kupp (knee) out of action, Reynolds projects to continue receiving significant playing time, and while he's far from a reliable fantasy asset, being attached to a prolific offense offers fleeting potential.

Uncapped practice Thursday

Reynolds (hand) was a full practice participant Thursday, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis: Coach Sean McVay told Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com that Reynolds injured his hand during the Rams' Week 6 win at Denver. Reynolds logged a limited practice Wednesday as a result, but it won't stop him from entering the starting lineup Sunday in San Francisco. He'll be tasked with keeping the Rams' vaunted passing attack running on all cylinders sans Cooper Kupp, who has been ruled out for at least this weekend due to an MCL sprain.

Limited at practice with hand injury

Reynolds was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hand injury, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis: Meanwhile, coach Sean McVay has already ruled out Cooper Kupp (knee) for Sunday's game at San Francisco, leaving Reynolds as the No. 3 wide receiver so long as he's able to play through the injury. The second-year pro is primed for a heavy snap count, as the Rams have used three-receiver formations on 95 percent of their plays through six games. Reynolds struggled to make anything of his limited opportunities as a rookie, catching 11 of 24 targets for 104 yards and one touchdown.

Plays 46 snaps against Denver

Reynolds played 46 of 74 offensive snaps during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Broncos. He finished the game with minus-2 receiving yards on two targets.

Analysis: The uptick in playing time is the more important takeaway than Reynolds' underwhelming stat line. Cooper Kupp sustained a concussion in Week 5 and then sprained his MCL during Sunday's win. Head coach Sean McVay has already declared Kupp as week-to-week and unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers. It should open the door for Reynolds to be more involved in the passing attack, and there's definitely potential to make a fantasy impact in the Rams' offense. Unfortunately, it's also somewhat of a…read more

Flashes potential against Seahawks

Reynolds caught two of his three targets for 39 yards and had a 10-yard rush during Sunday's 33-31 win over Seattle.

Analysis: With Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) injured during the game, Reynolds entered and showed off his athleticism. The second-year receiver flashed similar potential last season when Robert Woods missed time with a shoulder injury, so if Reynolds sees more playing time, there's legitimate upside. The Rams' passing attack tops the NFL with 1,686 yards, after all.

Healthy for Week 1

Reynolds (ankle) wasn't listed on the Rams' Week 1 injury report Thursday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Reynolds emerged from preseason Week 1 with an ankle injury that kept him out the rest of exhibition season. Although he's returned to full health, he's stuck as the No. 4 wide receiver in an offense with three more than steady options in Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. Like last year, Reynolds likely will need an absence from one of the trio to make an impact in the box score.

Aims for Week 1 return

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Reynolds (ankle) won't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Saints. "He is making good, positive progress, but we know that he won't be available on Thursday and the goal is [having Reynolds play Week 1 in] Oakland," McVay said.

Analysis: The ankle injury that Reynolds suffered Aug. 9 seems to be slightly more serious than initially indicated, but nothing that should jeopardize his availability for the season opener. Assuming Reynolds puts in a full practice by the end of next week, he'll likely serve as the Rams' No. 4 wideout behind Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp in Week 1. As a rookie last season, Reynolds only saw 24 total targets, with 21 of them coming in the Rams' final seven contests.

Slated for short-term absence

Head coach Sean McVay said Reynolds (ankle) will be sidelined for at least a week, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis: Reynolds hurt his ankle in Thursday's preseason opener but it looks like he's avoided a severe injury. However, he still figures to be out of commission in the short term, which won't help his case to earn snaps with the first-team offense. Reynolds is expected to serve as the Rams' No. 4 wide receiver, just as he did for most of last season.

Not practicing Saturday

Reynolds (ankle) is not practicing Saturday, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis: Reynolds sustained an unspecified ankle injury during Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens. However, the extent of the damage isn't clear. With Reynolds sidelined, Fred Brown and Steven Mitchell could see added reps with the second-team offense.

Ankle under evaluation

Reynolds is nursing an ankle injury following Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Reynolds finished the contest with just one catch for six yards on three targets. The 2017 fourth-round pick had shoulder surgery in February, but he's been a full participant at training camp while trying to solidify his role as the team's No. 4 receiver. An injury to Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods or Cooper Kupp likely would put Reynolds in position for regular snaps, assuming his ankle issue isn't too serious.

Held to six yards

Reynolds caught one of three targets for six yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Ravens.

Analysis: Playing with Sean Mannion at quarterback, Reynolds got all of his targets within the first 18 minutes of the game. The 2017 fourth-round pick made a full recovery from February shoulder surgery before the start of training camp, and he seems to be locked in as the Rams' No. 4 receiver behind Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. It's a role that likely would lead to regular snaps if any of the aforementioned three players were to miss time, as the Rams led the NFL in usage of three-wide…read more

Showing no after effects of shoulder surgery

Reynolds (shoulder) participated in team drills during Sunday's practice, Joe Curley of the Venture County Star reports.

Analysis: Reynolds underwent shoulder surgery in February, but it sounds like the receiver has put that issue behind him given his full participation in training camp. However, Reynolds is still a fantasy afterthought at present time, as he's buried behind the established trio of Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp.

Reynolds had surgery in early February to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, Joe Curley of The Ventura County Times reports.

Analysis: A fourth-round pick last year, Reynolds suffered the shoulder injury on special teams in a playoff loss to the Falcons. While not quite back to 100 percent strength, he was healthy enough to take the field for the start of OTAs, putting him on track for full participation at the beginning of training camp. With Brandin Cooks replacing Sammy Watkins in the starting lineup, Reynolds profiles as the likely No. 4 receiver for a second straight year. The same role led to a nice opportunity when…read more

Reynolds played just two offensive snaps during Saturday's 26-13 loss to Atlanta in the wild-card round.

Analysis: While Reynolds was buried on the depth chart for the majority of his rookie season, he did see a fleeting uptick in opportunity when Robert Woods was out of action. Reynolds collected eight receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown during a three-game span, which could be a sign of things to come, if he's ever provided a legitimate opportunity. With Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp locked in as the top two receivers entering the 2018 campaign, Reynolds will likely have another uphill battle for…read more

Rams head coach Sean McVay suggested that Reynolds' teammates Robert Woods, Sammy Watkins and Cooper Kupp (knee) won't have significant roles in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis: It's not quite clear if the trio of starting wideouts will be held out entirely, as is expected with QB Jared Goff, RB Todd Gurley, LT Andrew Whitworth and C John Sullivan. A 2017 fourth-round selection, Reynolds has caught just nine of 18 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown while serving as the No. 4 or 5 wideout for most of the year. He could be the No. 1 option come Sunday, but he'll be catching passes from first-time starter Sean Mannion, who will be playing without the protection of the…read more

Reynolds hauled in both of his targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 43-35 loss to Philadelphia.

Analysis: After receiving six targets in consecutive games, Reynolds wasn't as involved this week. His fleeting boost in fantasy value may also be over with Robert Woods (shoulder) potentially returning to action in Week 15. The rookie out of Texas A&M is a risky fantasy option at this stage of the season, but his long-term outlook for dynasty/keeper settings remains intriguing because of his size, speed and athleticism.

Reynolds caught two of his six targets for only six yards during Sunday's 32-16 win over Arizona.

Analysis: Reynolds was on the field for 42 of 58 offensive snaps, which was the third most of all Rams receivers and behind only Sammy Watkins and Cooper Kupp. The rookie out of Texas A&M battled an ankle injury earlier this week, but was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday. Considering he hardly saw the field through the first 10 games of the season, keeper/dynasty owners shouldn't be too concerned with Sunday's underwhelming outing, as Reynolds projects to remain involved in the passing attack…read more

Reynolds (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis: Reynolds earned three targets on 84 offensive snaps in the first 10 games of his career, but Robert Woods' shoulder injury opened the door for a drastic uptick in work. Receiving 62 of 77 snaps on offense Sunday against the Saints, Reynolds gathered in four of six passes for 37 yards and his first career touchdown. With another DNP on tap for Woods this weekend, Reynolds will brush off an ankle injury in anticipation for the Cardinals' 18th-ranked pass offense Sunday.

Reynolds was held out of Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis: Reynolds took advantage of Robert Woods' (shoulder) absence in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Saints, catching four of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown. Should the rookie fourth-round pick miss Sunday's game in Arizona, the Rams would need more snaps out of Tavon Austin and/or Pharoh Cooper.

Reynolds caught four of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-20 win over New Orleans.

Analysis: The Texas A&M product played 61 of 77 offensive snaps and projects to remain a staple in the offense for the duration of Robert Woods' (shoulder) absence. The acquisition of Sammy Watkins hurt Reynolds' fantasy stock entering the season, but the rookie owns the size-speed combo to be a matchup nightmare, and quarterback Jared Goff spreads the ball around enough to provide Reynolds with opportunities. It's probably best to keep expectations in check, but the 22-year-old receiver offers modest…read more

Reynolds will likely pick up increased snaps in Sunday's game against the Saints with Robert Woods (shoulder) unavailable for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: It's expected that the Rams will lean on a committee of wideouts to pitch in while the team's top receiver kicks off what will likely be a multi-game absence, but Reynolds, a fourth-round rookie out of Texas A&M, may stand to be the greatest beneficiary. At 6-foot-3, Reynolds brings a little more size than Woods and could be an intriguing red-zone target for quarterback Jared Goff, but with just one NFL reception on his ledger through 10 games, he'll first need to translate extended snaps into…read more
