STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Golden's 85% route rate and 25% target share rank among league's elite WR usage.

Golden's usage metrics are comparable to No. 1 WR Christian Watson despite lower fantasy production (13.3 PPG vs. Watson's 19.3 PPG). Golden runs 85% route rate with 25% target share, 38% air yard share, and 33% end zone target share versus Watson's 84% route rate, 22% target share, 32% air yard share, and 40% end zone target share. Across the league, Golden ranks No. 3 in air yards with 623. The source notes he remains underappreciated.
