From the episode

I am in the middle of moving Golden up ahead of the guys like Rishi Rice. In that range of player... I'm probably more inclined to do Golden in a one than a Watson in a one.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Golden rising ahead of Rice in rankings; more valuable than Watson in first-round trades.

Matthew Golden's dynasty value is rising rapidly. The source is moving Golden ahead of Rashid Rice in dynasty rankings, partly because of the 'idiot tax' on Rice. Golden and a 2027 first is a more attractive trade target than Christian Watson and a first. Recent trades show Golden at 27 second and 27 third plus a player for Malik Willis—a deal the source would do every time. If Golden maintains his week one route participation and target share, his value will climb significantly even on modest stat lines (5 for 75, 6 for 84), because the market will price in his elite deployment.
