Fantasy Life Articles on Matthew Golden
From the article
Matthew Golden (Packers) at Lions: I've highlighted Golden as a fantasy favorite in each of the past two weeks, and in that timeframe he has balled out (18.4 fantasy points per game, 12-227-1 receiving, 20 targets, 45% air yard share, 43% end zone target share, 95 Utilization Score)... across the league he's the No. 1 WR in air yards (835). He's probably not valued or ranked this way … but Golden might actually be his team's No. 1 WR … and he has a great matchup.
STACKED’s take
Golden's league-leading air yards and superior usage make him a top-tier play against injury-depleted Lions.
Golden faces the Lions in Week 7, a No. 2 fantasy boost allowed to WRs (+6.4). Over past two weeks, Golden has averaged 18.4 fantasy points per game with 12-227-1 receiving, 20 targets, 45% air yard share, 43% end zone target share, 95 Utilization Score. For the season, Golden's usage (86% route rate, 41% air yard share, 86 Utilization Score) actually exceeds teammate Christian Watson's (85% route rate, 34% air yard share, 82 Utilization Score), and he leads the league in air yards (835). Lions secondary is compromised: SS Brian Branch (Achilles, PUP), FS Kerby Joseph (knee, PUP), No. 3 S Avonte Maddox (foot, IR), No. 4 S Thomas Harper (ankle, IR). Packers are divisional road dogs with HC Matt LaFleur's strong dog record (18-6-2 ATS, 39.8% ROI).
