WR Matthew Golden, GB (4 Viewers)

[beef]

Matt Harmon
Matthew Golden among the 94 WRs to get 20+ targets this season:

- 3rd in EPA per target
- 9th in success rate when targeted
- 17th in yards per target
- 41st in first downs per route
- 53rd in yards per route
- 79th in targets per route

I think you get the drift. Good when thrown the football, not thrown the football very often.

Good when targeted but not targeted enough to be startable for most teams. I expected his targets to be much higher but when you have Kraft and Doubs as first two options then Jacobs as a run threat not many opportunites. I feel like too much of a gamble to pick who will be WR 2 from Green Bay going forward.

horrendous job drafting--imagine what they could of used that 1st pick on....anything but WR

Like an olineman (Morgan) that looks like an undrafted FA talent at best, or a DE (Van Ness) that wasn't even a starter on his college team? Packers have drafted like crap in the first, but I blame coaching here. Golden is better than this.

Do we think the two games Christian Watson is healthy this year will open up opportunities for him or hurt his value?

All jokes aside, I don't think adding more mouths to the mix is going to help his cause.

He’s gonna get dropped widely

He’s gonna have a smash day, 3-120 with 2-3 TD

he will get picked up everywhere
‘
He will flop

He will get dropped widely

Repeat

The packer wideout circle of life

I wasn't super-high on Golden, but I thought he would've made more of an impact by now.

There's still plenty of time, but you have to wonder if this offense will always be WRBC.

Again I ask. Why did they pick him in the 1st round?
Malik Heath was getting catches last night for crying out loud.

Maybe they have a plan for the future and don't look at it thru a fantasy football redraft lense. Several of their WRs are free agents at the end of this year or the end of next year. Plan for the future. Seems to work for them.
