Held out for Week 4 Reed (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact The rookie from Virginia played an important special-teams role throughout September, but Week 4 marks the first time in Reed's young career that he will not dress for game action. He registered 25.7 yards per attempt on six kick-return tries Week 1 through 3, however, those duties will be left up to KJ Hill and Desmond King when the Chargers face Tampa Bay on Sunday afternoon.

Solid day as returner Reed tallied 85 kick-return yards in the 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. He also carried the ball once for eight yards.

Impact Reed actually saw less offensive snaps (two) than his first career game (three), but regardless, it's pretty clear he's not any semblance of an offensive factor at the moment. The fifth-round pick has proven to be a fairly dominant returner, however, recording the fourth-most return yards (131) through two weeks.

Acts as primary kick returner Reed registered 46 return yards in the win Sunday over the Bengals.

Impact Reed saw just three offensive snaps all game, but it was interesting to see him confirmed as the team's starting kick returner. A nimble player in space, it's possible Reed could see some gadget plays designed for him later in the year, but at least at the moment he's hardly worth a look in even the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Getting RB reps Reed practiced with the running backs Monday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The rookie fifth-round pick has a running-back body at 6-foot, 224 pounds, but he primarily worked as a wide receiver and kick return specialist in college, finishing his UVA career with 129 receptions, 106 kick returns and only 34 carries. In terms of his short-term fantasy prospects, Reed might actually be more promising at wide receiver, where the Chargers appear desperate for depth behind Keenan Allen and a banged-up Mike Williams (shoulder).
