Sharp take
Sharp SixHold"Timeline TBD" is not a diagnosis, it is a placeholder. Reed is rostered in 100% of leagues and carries 27.7 points of value over replacement on a 198.6-point projection, so dropping him because a back is vague would be the worst trade you make this year. His Week 1 line was 5.0 FFPC points, which means you are not losing a produced asset, you are losing a projected one. Stash him and start someone who is cleared. Drop him only if your bench is already full of players you actually need this week.
