Matthew Golden Fantasy Stats

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) put in a full practice on Friday after two limited sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, and Golden will be good to go when the Packers head to Denver to face the Broncos. Returning to game action in Week 14, Golden earned just a single target from quarterback Jordan Love on four pass routes. Head coach Matt LaFleur stated Golden would be limited to "pass situations only" when talking about Golden's role in Week 14, so clearly, that limited his fantasy points potential. With all of the pass-catching options for the Packers healthier heading into Week 15, Golden may have trouble getting on the field with players like Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and others ahead of him. Golden is a very risky bet for fantasy success in Week 15 against a stout Denver defense.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was a limited participant again in Thursday's practice session, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Golden has been held back by a nagging wrist injury for a few weeks now, and it contributed to him barely playing on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. The rookie first-rounder played just 9.4% of the offensive snaps and saw one target. It was by far his lowest snap share of the season, with his previous low being the last game he played in Week 11 against the New York Giants. It's difficult to see Golden's role ticking back up with Jayden Reed returning from injury in Week 14, and the Texas product can't be trusted by fantasy managers in a tough Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos on the road.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky writes that Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited by his wrist injury in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also limited, allowing Bo Melton to step into the No. 4 receiver role. Melton's only catch of the game was a big 45-yard touchdown. The 22-year-old Golden returned to action on Sunday and disappointed, failing to haul in his only target while playing just five offensive snaps. The Texas product had missed the previous two games with shoulder and wrist injuries. Golden should have a bigger role in a Week 15 matchup on the road against the 11-2 Denver Broncos, but fantasy managers just cannot trust him in a tough matchup while being buried in a crowded receiving corps that just got Jayden Reed back from Injured Reserve.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 22-year-old returns from a two-game absence and will look to turn around a disappointing rookie season. Through nine games this year, he has 24 catches for 286 yards and zero touchdowns. Golden will face a tougher pass to productivity this week now that Jayden Reed has returned from injured reserve. Reed, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs all figure to be more involved than Golden once again. The Texas product can be benched in most fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Golden has been limited in practice all week due to a lingering wrist issue. He has missed the last two games due to the injury, but is hopeful of playing on Sunday. When healthy, Golden hasn't been much of an asset for fantasy managers lately. The rookie wideout has been held to under 40 receiving yards in each of his last four games. He played a season-low 35 percent of the offensive snaps during his latest appearance in Week 11. His role is expected to be reduced with Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) making his return from the IR. Golden isn't someone who should be trusted for Week 14 outside of deep leagues.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 14 matchup versus the Chicago Bears. When healthy, Golden has been barely noticeable on the field. The rookie wideout has been held to under 30 receiving yards in three of his last four games. The return of Christian Watson has played a role in Golden's lack of production. It's not going to get better for Golden with fellow wideout Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) nearing his return from Injured Reserve, possibly this Sunday. Golden played less than 40 percent of the offensive snaps in his last two games. Even if he returns to action this weekend, Golden isn't someone to trust in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the divisional-rival Chicago Bears. Golden was limited for the third straight day on Friday and is in danger of missing his third consecutive game. The rookie first-rounder has dealt with multiple injuries this year, missing time with a shoulder injury as well. It's been a disappointing first season for the speedy wideout, as he's recorded only 24 receptions for 286 yards on 32 targets, and he is still looking for his first career touchdown through nine games. He has yet to see consistent playing time with Green Bay having multiple other capable pass-catchers, and it will only get tougher with the eventual return of Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot). Golden is a risky fantasy option if he is able to play in Week 14.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) remained limited for a second consecutive day on Thursday. The rookie has consistently appeared on the injury report for most of his first NFL season, and this latest ailment has put his status in doubt for Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. Golden, who has 24 catches for 286 yards and zero touchdowns, ranks as the WR82 in PPR leagues this season. Even with Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder), and Savion Williams (foot) all injured, Golden could struggle to carve out significant volume once again this week. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues despite Chicago allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Golden has only been able to play in one of the last four games due to shoulder and wrist injuries. The rookie wideout hasn't been able to practice in full over the last two weeks. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his availability in practice over the next two days. When healthy, Golden has been disappointing with 24 receptions for 286 receiving yards in his first nine NFL games. There should be better streaming options available in most 12-team fantasy football formats ahead of Week 14. At best, Golden is a low-end flex option in deep leagues for the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears. The likelihood of Golden making a fantasy impact down the stretch is only going to get tougher once Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) returns from Injured Reserve, possibly this weekend.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) has been ruled out for the Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, according to Lily Zhao of FOX6 News. Golden is inactive for the second straight game after missing Week 12 due to shoulder and wrist injuries. The rookie first-rounder was listed as limited every day in practice this week, but ultimately wasn't ready to go on a short week. Golden last played in Week 11 against the New York Giants, but posted his lowest snap share of the season (33.3%) and recorded just one reception for 24 yards on three targets. He has been buried on Green Bay's depth chart with multiple other capable pass catchers, and the eventual return of Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) could make the situation even murkier for Golden.
