From the episode

I actually kind of think like Golden could maybe end up being a little bit of that sacrificial player because he has some decent release moves against press... who's more the X and who's more the Z, I think that's actually quietly the key to figuring out both of their upside cases.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Golden could fill sacrificial X role, freeing Watson for Z receiver upside.

Golden could assume the sacrificial X receiver role in the Packers offense, which would free Christian Watson to operate as the Z receiver on the move. Golden showed decent release moves against press coverage last season, which could make him effective in the X role. The key question is whether Golden or Watson ends up as the X versus Z receiver, which will determine both players' upside.
