FantasyPros Articles on Matthew Golden
From the article
After all the hype for Matthew Golden last year, he was only a part-time player for Green Bay in his rookie season. He had only five games in which he surpassed a 60% snap share. When he was on the field, he had a 17% target-per-route-run rate, 1.46 yards per route run, and 0.065 first downs per route run.
STACKED’s take
Golden's limited role tempered by potential blitz-coverage opportunities in Week 1.
Golden was only a part-time player for Green Bay in his rookie season despite preseason hype, with only five games surpassing a 60% snap share. When on the field, he posted a 17% target-per-route-run rate, 1.46 yards per route run, and 0.065 first downs per route run. Among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 16th in separation but 67th in route win rate. The source is unimpressed overall. However, in Week 1 against Minnesota's blitz-heavy defense, Love posted an 18% target-per-route run rate and 1.90 yards per route run when blitzed, which could lead to a flex-worthy stat line for Golden. Minnesota allowed the second-most yards per target and third-most fantasy points per target to perimeter receivers.
