Kenny Golladay Fantasy

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay, a late addition to last week's Pro Bowl as an alternate, could be in line for a big contract extension after leading the league with 11 touchdowns and topping 1,000 yards receiving for the second straight season. "They better hurry up and pay Kenny," NFL Network analyst James Jones said Thursday at Super Bowl 54. "Very, very fast because the longer you wait to pay Kenny, the higher the price goes." Golladay's 2019 season was even more impressive when you consider that quarterback Matthew Stafford played in only eight games due to a back injury. He played last season for $676,000, slightly over the league minimum, but he would stand to make $15 million or more with a new contract. Golladay is heading into the final year of his rookie deal and has emerged as a true WR1 in fantasy.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (head) is being evaluated for a concussion in Week 17 against the Packers. Before leaving, Golladay had three grabs for 72 yards. With nothing to play for in the regular season finale, we'd be surprised if Golladay returns for this game, which would be really bad news for those still playing for a fantasy title. Coming into this Sunday, Golladay had 62 catches for a career-high 1,118 yards and 11 touchdowns. He needs just five more catches to match his career high in catches set last season with 70. It's saying something that Golladay continued to produce fantasy relevant numbers in the second half of the season with third-stringer David Blough throwing him passes. He'll be a strong WR1 next year. If he doesn't return Sunday, Danny Amendola, Chris Lacy and rookie Travis Fulgham will operate in three-receiver sets.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest) is questionable but expected to play in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers after taking limited practice reps on Friday. Golladay has been wildly inconsistent without Matthew Stafford (back) under center, but came through in Week 16 with six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. It's hard to rely on Golladay with rookie David Blough throwing the passes, and seeing as he likely won't be at 100% for this game, Golladay will slot in as a fringe WR2.
