Golden's 30 targets and 15-253-1 line make him a nice value with Packers' pass-heavy approach.

Golden has benefitted from the Packers' decision to avoid running the ball due to their league-low 48 rush attempts (30th rushing success rate at 38.3%). The second-year receiver has posted two games of 12-plus targets with 30 total targets (5th-most among all receivers), 113 routes run (6th-highest), and a 26.5% targets per route rate (7th-highest, min. 80 routes). He ranks in the top 10 in air yards per target (13.9 AY/TGT) and has an early 15-253-1 receiving line, making him a nice value in drafts. He should have plenty of opportunities against the Falcons as the Packers look to avoid a 1-3 start.
