Yahoo Fantasy Football on Matthew Golden
From the article
Golden saw 12 targets, catching six for 95 yards. He ran a route on 87% of Green Bay's dropbacks, commanded a 30% target share and led the team with a 30.3% first-read share. He also posted a top-10 usage score among NFL wide receivers in my Trinity model.
STACKED’s take
Golden's 12 targets and top-10 usage profile should sustain against Jets despite two-high coverage.
Golden saw 12 targets in Week 1, catching six for 95 yards, running a route on 87% of Green Bay's dropbacks, commanding a 30% target share, and leading the team with a 30.3% first-read share. He posted a top-10 usage score among NFL wide receivers in the source's Trinity model. Jordan Love attempted 42 passes in Week 1, one of his career highs, and with Josh Jacobs sidelined and the running game lacking confidence, Green Bay may need elevated passing volume again. The Jets played two-high on 59% of snaps and are traditionally tough on perimeter receivers, but Golden has already shown he can command targets in this offense. Christian Watson's vertical demands should continue opening intermediate opportunities for Golden. The source has him at WR32, while Yahoo (WR29) and ECR (WR33) rank him similarly.
