Golden drew 12 targets against Detroit despite playing through an injury. Golden actually has a higher first-read share than Christian Watson at 28.1%, so the difference is where he gets targeted and what he does with his opportunities. I have Golden as a mid-to-high-end WR2.

Golden's first-read share exceeds Watson's; mid-to-high WR2 value.

Golden drew 12 targets against Detroit despite playing through an injury; Green Bay has him moving at snap on only 4% of routes and uses play-action on 20%, but he's been targeted on 35% of his outs versus 18% of his go, fade and seam routes, giving him volume beyond the deep ball. Golden actually has a higher first-read share than Christian Watson at 28.1%, with the difference being where he gets targeted and what he does with opportunities (YAC, catch rate). Receiver Score has Golden as a mid-to-high-end WR2.
