Yahoo Sports NFL on Matthew Golden

Golden's 42.2% air yards share (8th) and elite deep play-action production threaten Lions' defense.

Golden ranks 8th in the NFL in air yards share rate at 42.2% and is one of two Packers receivers (with Christian Watson) accounting for 74.8% of Jordan Love's total intended air yards. Golden ranks 2nd in the NFL in receiving yards on deep play-action passes against single-high defenses with 86 receiving yards on 3 targets and 2 receptions; three of those four catches came in Week 5 against the Bears. The source identifies Golden as adept at taking the top off defenses as part of Green Bay's offseason receiver room decluttering.
