I. Player News & Analysis

ESPN	RotoWire	Trends
"Golden was selected by Green Bay in the first round of April's draft. He impressed at the combine with a 4.29 40-yard dash and 1.49 10-yard split (both best among WRs). He's a bit on the small side and his 1.86 YPRR across 36 collegiate games isn't very good, but he did make a big leap in 2024 (his lone year at Texas), posting a 58-987-9 receiving line. He can work all over the formation and is a plus kick returner. With Christian Watson (ACL) likely to miss a big chunk of the season and Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed as his primary competition for work, Golden has a good chance to operate as Jordan Love's top target in 2025. The speedster should be viewed as a WR3 with obvious upside."	"The Packers' offense didn't really wake up until the second half, and Golden wasn't able to do as much with his limited volume as he had in Week 6 against the Bengals. The rookie wideout has yet to see more than six targets in a game in the pros, and he's still looking for his first TD in the NFL. Golden will take a modest 18-249-0 line on 23 targets through six contests into a Week 8 meeting with the Steelers."
