Fantasy Life Articles on Matthew Golden

Golden's risen more than any player; now WR22 with elite route/target share in pass-heavy Packers.

Golden has risen more than any other player in the rest-of-season rankings, jumping from a preseason ADP of 123.8 to a ROS ranking of 45 (WR22). Over the first two weeks, he ranks 1st on the Packers in routes (88%), tied 1st in targets (27%), TPRR (0.26), and air yards (33%), while ranking 2nd in aDOT (12.5 yards). With Jayden Reed potentially out for the season, the target tree consolidates around Golden, Christian Watson, and Tucker Kraft. The Packers are tied for 2nd in the NFL in dropback percentage (69%) and tied for 3rd in DBOE (6%), leaning heavily into their pass game—a massive change from last season. The runway is clear for Golden.
