He could be good for the Packers, but not your fantasy team
Matthew Golden has one of the worst round one wide receiver profiles that we’ve seen in a very long time. He goes to the Packers, which is an absolute perfect landing spot. But if you’re looking at receivers to have a target share under 24%. To have 2.5 career yards per route run or under and fewer than 11% of their routes run leading to first downs. You have Matthew Golden, Brian Thomas, Ricky Pier Saul, Xavier Legette, Jaylen Pulk, John Mchi, Adini Mitchell, Alec Pierce Finan, Jefferson, Terrace Marshall. Now yes, Brian Thomas Jr. was a massive, massive hit, but he had Malik Neighbors to compete with at LSU. Who did Matthew Golden? Oh, Isaiah Bond. No, Isaiah Bond was a bum. Matthew Golden may be a decent real life receiver with his speed. He can stretch NFL defenses, but not somebody I want to draft in fantasy at

I love fading his jubilee ah
Matthew golden had Isaiah bond, Silas bolden, Ryan wingo, dj Moore, and Gunnar helm.. PLENTY of targets over there at Texas. Why do you think golden was getting the ball so much? Texas has dawgs.
The switch up on this guy is crazy
we not sayin isaiah bond a complete bum are we?
I don’t want any wr for the packers! Too unreliable. You can never start them with confidence. Too many mid level players there. No alpha. Love is about all I’d draft
He’s running wr1 stuff for them throughout training camp. I think imma trust Steve smith sr over u
I wasn't drafting him much, but gotta pay attention to the camp reports and adjust
Uh oh- look what you did- made all the fanbois mad- lol
This man takes are always bad
Im scared of drafting any cheese head wr.
It's all a crapshoot. I remember saying I wish the packers would draft Justin Jefferson. He's the best player in the draft. I never feel that way on receivers. You just never know who will pop off and no amount of statistics they make up will prove consistent. It's all in feelings😊
Poor Isaiah, catching strays
When stats makes you sounds dumb
This one isn’t gonna age well
This guy is for sure a clown. He’s more of a YouTuber than a fantasy footballer. Go watch Liam if you want actual knowledge
Glad to see the comments clowning on this take. This guy is too lost in the spreadsheets and needs to watch actual football.
Target share? Yards per route run? These stats start to make sense when you watch how ass his college QB was. Ewers’ arm is horrific and couldn’t ever hit Golden in stride. Seriously go watch his college tape and tell me I’m wrong.
This is why the flock leauge draft was a joke. 7 of the 10 guys on this list are all great receivers. Who may have not had the opportunity. The ones who did, did great. We should look at camp, and preseason snap rates. Not high on golden, but only because packers spread the ball like crazy. Still should be top 40
Please don’t delete your dumbass take when you get proven wrong
This won’t age well, as a packers fan I know things, special things
analytics nerds are always wrong on 4-5 players per year. BTJ last year, Tank dell the year before. Sometimes you just have to watch the games man, this is a horrible take. Bond came from Alabama, costing Texas a lot of money. Golden came from Houston, and only after half the season did they realize how much better Golden was than Bond. New landscape of football, get used to it.
Save your receipts on this lol. I NEVER draft GB wideouts but I am buying Golden stock. What did this guy say about Burks again?
Golden is a stud. Just need to use your eyes, buddy.
FLOCK never hits. 🗑️
this guy doesn’t know ball
Every year I take this guys advice I end up getting 10th-12th place. Horrible take
Sure, pal
Matthew Golden will be the Packers number one receiver. I took him with my last receiver pick. I think you are wrong.
wtf does yards per route run have to do with anything? If I joined a team and ran straight every single play, and I dropped every pass everytime.. I’d still lead the league in yards per route run.. it’s the DUMBEST stat that gets brought up by EVERYONE.. it has 0 to do with how good someone is..
Isiah Bond was a projected 1st rounder?
Isaiah Bond is not a scrub. He’s an idiot who off the field got him to drop in the draft, but bond had 1st round grades throughout. Bond isn’t Nabers but he’s no scrub
I’ll ride Golden wtf is this stupid take
Holy crap this guy is stupid
I agree with nothing this guy ever says
Correct so far through week 9 2025
So far, this take is spot on. Golden in ppr formats averages 7.3 ppg as the wr 63. Hopefully he'll be better in the back half of the season
