Matthew Golden Fantasy Stats

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.

The Green Bay Packers are listing rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) as questionable for Thursday's game against the division-rival Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Golden missed last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings with shoulder and wrist injuries. The 22-year-old is past his shoulder injury, but he's still up in the air to play in Week 13 after being limited in practice this week. The Packers will not welcome Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) back from Injured Reserve this week, but even if Golden is cleared to play against the Lions, he'll be hard to trust in a WR4/flex spot by fantasy managers. Golden has yet to display the form he showed in training camp and the preseason, and he has only 24 catches for 286 yards and no touchdowns in his first nine games in a crowded Packers' receiving corps.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Tuesday with a wrist injury, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Golden missed Sunday's decisive win over the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field with shoulder and wrist injuries. The 22-year-old Texas product is tracking towards returning on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday against the division-rival Detroit Lions, though, now that he's clear of his shoulder injury. Golden probably needs to practice in full on Wednesday to avoid taking another questionable tag into game day. Fantasy managers who bought into the preseason hype surrounding Golden have been disappointed so far in 2025, as he's caught just 24 passes for 286 yards on 32 targets. He's still searching for the first touchdown of his career, and his chances of contributing down the stretch aren't going to get any better now that Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) is nearing a return.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was listed as limited on Monday on the team's estimated practice report, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Golden missed the team's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but the good news is he's no longer listed with a shoulder injury. If the 22-year-old can upgrade to a full practice in the next two days, he'll have a good chance of suiting up this Thursday to take on the division-rival Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Golden won't be a recommended flex play for fantasy managers if he returns, though, especially if Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) plays in his first game since Week 2. There's still plenty of long-term upside with Golden, but he has failed to make a big impact in his first nine NFL games in a crowded WR room in Green Bay, catching 24 passes for 286 yards and no scores.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The rookie has been disappointing during his first pro season, catching just 24 passes for 286 yards through nine games. He is also still looking for his first career touchdown. Golden's second absence in three weeks will lead to more opportunities for Dontayvion Wicks (calf) in his role behind Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) is not expected to play in Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice all week long. The rookie has been disappointing during his first pro season, catching just 24 passes for 286 yards through nine games. He's also still looking for his first career touchdown. Golden's absence on Sunday will lead to more opportunities for Dontayvion Wicks (calf) in his role behind Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Golden was able to return in Week 11 after missing the previous week due to a shoulder injury, but he had his lowest snap share of the season (34.5%) and caught just one of three targets for 24 yards. The rookie first-rounder hasn't been a priority for head coach Matt LaFleur to get involved, even with the team dealing with multiple significant injuries to pass catchers in Tucker Kraft (knee) and Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot). It's still unclear if Golden will be able to suit up in Week 12, but he'd be a risky start in 12-team leagues because of the lack of consistent usage.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) is considered questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Golden was limited in practice throughout the week due to multiple injuries. The Packers injury report is loaded with injuries, but luckily Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Bo Melton were all cleared to play. Golden hasn't been much of a factor in the offense anyway, so his absence wouldn't be a huge blow to this offense. The 22-year-old hasn't finished with more than 37 receiving yards in a single game since Week 6. Golden is a risky flex choice for this weekend, assuming he's active.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) was limited for a second straight day due to shoulder and wrist injuries on Thursday, according to the team's official website. Golden sat out of the team's Week 10 game but returned in last week's win over the New York Giants to catch one of his three targets for 24 yards. The 22-year-old seems likely to be available this Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, but he could draw a questionable designation going into that matchup if he can't upgrade to a full practice on Friday. Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (foot), and Bo Melton (shoulder) are also on the injury report, but none of their injuries appear to be very serious. Golden, the 23rd overall pick in April, has struggled for any kind of consistency in his first year in the NFL, catching a total of 24 passes for 286 yards and no touchdowns on 32 targets in his first nine games.
