2022 Fantasy Outlook

Reynolds instantly became a fan favorite in Detroit after scoring a relatively impressive preseason touchdown a day after trying out for the team. While he went on to spend most of the year on the practice squad, the Kutztown product displaced 2021 seventh-round draft pick Jermar Jefferson for the No. 3 role on the depth chart along the way. Reynolds flashed again while filling in for D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams in Weeks 14 and 15. In those two games, Reynolds broke multiple 20-plus yard runs against Denver and Arizona and ultimately tallied 195 rushing yards on 37 carries while adding a little work in the passing game. Even though he will begin the 2022 campaign buried on the depth chart, Reynolds is a name to keep in mind in case injuries again strike Detroit's backfield. Read Past Outlooks

Signs new deal with Detroit

RBDetroit Lions

March 13, 2023

Reynolds and the Lions agreed to a contract Monday.

ANALYSIS
The exact details of the deal are unknown, but Reynolds will be returning to Detroit for a third season in 2023. The running back appeared in nine games with the Lions last season, recording 102 rushing yards on 23 carries while also reeling in nine catches for 116 yards. With D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams both likely to still be on the team next season, there isn't a clear path for Reynolds to see an increase in usage.
