Thought Antonio Williams' film was really impressive in Week 1. Good routes, explosive out of breaks, and created some good separation. That offense needs more options and he definitely commanded some opportunity with his play. Reminder: I will have weekly charting notebooks on RP. Looking to post the first one today with Williams, Matthew Golden, MHJ, Waddle and more.PositiveBreakoutSep 15, 2026
Matthew Golden saw significant Week 1 usage, leading the Packers with 40 routes (90%+ participation) and a 30% target share while operating as a pure perimeter receiver. Matt Harmon highlights his vertical route tree and productive role, noting that despite a few drops, his profile is far from a bust and he is a potential weekly WR3 candidate given the upcoming schedule.PositiveUsageAug 28, 2026
My progressions keep leading me to Matthew Golden based on the way he's getting separation." @JoriEpstein has great notes on the developing connection between Jordan Love and his Year 2 WR, and on Golden's role in the 2026 Packers offense.PositiveValueAug 27, 2026
Matt Harmon views Matthew Golden as a similar, better-value bet compared to Quentin Johnston at his current ADP.PositiveNewsAug 20, 2026
The WR "Breakout" @MattHarmon_BYB wrote about was Rome Odunze. Love to see it. 7 great options in here. I picked Matthew Golden. <https://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/article/fantasy-football-roundtable-here-are-some-of-our-favorite-breakout-candidates-at-wr-for-2026-152727658.html> [Retweeted](PositiveNewsAug 5, 2026
Packers are less likely to rotate WRs this season based on the way this reads to me Will be huge for Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden Via @JourdanRodrigue [Retweeted](PositiveUsageAug 2, 2026
The whole room will move around and play all over but I think Matthew Golden at X is a big deal 1) This means Watson isn’t move there, which is really good for him as he fits best as a movement Z and occasional X condensed in 12p. Excellent news. 2) Golden’s role being a little more narrow will help after he bounced between spots last year. His best work came in vertical routes and his release work was solid, should translate to an X role that could be a little sacrificial, as Doubs was early...PositiveUsageNo date
Matt Harmon expresses belief in the training camp hype surrounding Matthew Golden, noting that if it is real, it could negatively impact Christian Watson's target share. Additionally, Golden is cited as a late-round player whose low cost makes him a safe option to stack with teammates.PositiveRoleNo date
Matt Harmon expects Matthew Golden to take the most snaps as the Z receiver for the Packers in the three-receiver alignment with Reed and Watson. Golden had a middling rookie charting profile overall but showed his best success rate against press coverage and is more of a vertical receiver. Harmon would like to see Golden take some X receiver work to keep Watson's role more fluid, as Golden's skills are best suited to being an off-ball receiver given his strength on big breaking routes.
