Flock Fantasy on Matthew Golden

Weak rookie profile (1.44 YPRR, 11.8% target share); face planted in year one.

Flock Fantasy did not like Golden as a prospect and refused to draft him in his rookie season. Golden's rookie stats were poor: 1.44 yards per route run and 11.8% team target share. Comparing Golden's age-22 season to historical comps (Quentin Johnston, Parker Washington, Elijah Moore, Kendrick Bourne), only Johnston and Washington cracked 10+ PPG in their age-23 seasons, and neither exceeded 11.5 PPG. The source views Golden as a bad round-one NFL draft pick with a weak production profile in college; he 'face planted' his rookie season. While not hard-fading him, the source ranks Christian Watson ahead of Golden.
