JJ Zachariason highlights Matthew Golden as his favorite sleeper wide receiver with a full-time role now with the Packers following Romeo Dobbs and Dantavian Wix departing; featured in Zachariason's recent sleeper wide receiver video.PositiveSleeperAug 18, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Matthew Golden as his WR44, placing him ahead of Malik Nabers, Xavier Worthy, and Alec Pierce. Despite a disappointing 361-yard rookie season, Hartitz highlights Golden's 100+ target upside in a condensed Packers offense. He notes Golden's usage in two-wide receiver sets alongside Christian Watson during preseason and practice, combined with Jordan Love's elite efficiency, makes him a high-upside target. Golden is a value pick outside the top 130 on Sleeper and WR57 on Yahoo, though he is more expensive on ESPN.PositiveBreakoutAug 13, 2026
Eli Berkovits is high on Matthew Golden, noting that Jordan Love has explicitly identified him as the locked-in X receiver. Despite a quiet rookie season, Golden is a standout route runner with reliable hands. At camp, Love has consistently targeted Golden, often making him the first read on 70% of snaps. Berkovits projects him to catch 4-6 passes per game and views him as a high-upside WR4/flex option. He is currently a significant value in Yahoo drafts (WR55, round 11), being undervalued compared to peers like Juwan Jennings.PositiveValueAug 9, 2026
