Yahoo Fantasy Football on Matthew Golden

Golden's WR20 Week 1 and WR33 consensus ranking represent significant value upside.

Golden closed drafts as the WR49 on Yahoo but posted a 12 target, 6 reception, 95-yard Week 1 performance that made him the WR20 on the week. The source ranked him closer to WR40 during the preseason and feels his consensus spot of WR33 ahead of Week 2 is an under-reaction. The Packers pace was faster, their neutral pass rate was higher, and their run game was predictably suspect, all directing toward a pass-first operation with a very clear top-two wide receivers—something rare in the LaFleur era. The source projects Golden to post a second straight top-24 week and notes you can get in on the ground floor with his delayed rise: a WR2/3 at a WR5 price tag.
