WEEK 4: WASHINGTON REDSKINS – JORDAN REED, TE

While Kirk Cousins could have been an easy answer here, I went with Jordan Reed, the tight end for the Washington Redskins. Reed is probably the best tight end in the league behind Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce and for good reason.

Despite missing four games last year, Reed still put up nearly 700 yards receiving and had six touchdowns to his name. He has a tendency to get bitten by the injury bug, but should be good to go for this week four Monday Night Football match-up at Arrowhead.

The Chiefs have to face some scary tight ends this year and Reed headlines that list (behind Gronk, of course). If Cousins and Reed have a good connection going, this game could get ugly fast.

Cousins is also going to be an interesting name to look for in this game. He had a good 2016 season, but tends to be pretty inconsistent at times. Hopefully he pulls out one of his bad games when he faces the Chiefs.
