Matthew Golden 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Can Golden Separate Himself From His Teammates?
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden was the first WR selected by the Green Bay Packers in over 20 years. He'll join an offense with a great head coach, Matt LaFleur, and a smattering of underwhelming pass-catchers. Still, it's hard to project what will happen with this offense. For one, the team adopted a massively run-heavy approach in 2024, especially toward the end of the season. Green Bay ran the ball over 50% of the time, good for third-heaviest run scheme in the league, and the most for any team without a hypermobile quarterback. The Packers spread the ball around way too evenly for the likings of fantasy managers that had any of their pass-catchers on their rosters as well. From Weeks 12 through 17, Packers QB Jordan Love only completed an average of 16 passes per game. And with running back Josh Jacobs, tight ends Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave, and WRs Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and Mecole Hardman on the roster, with Christian Watson likely to return from injury at some point, we could see another miserable committee. Golden's release package off the line of scrimmage also leaves a lot to be desired. You should probably avoid drafting him in fantasy football.
