RecapMatthew Golden caught 10-of-10 targets for 164 yards and one touchdown in the Packers’ Week 9 win over the Patriots.
Golden appeared to be on pace for a historic performance after the first quarter. The second-year receiver hauled in two receptions of 40-plus yards, along with a five-yard touchdown, and ended the quarter with a 6-126-1 receiving line on six targets. Golden obviously didn’t sustain that pace for the remaining three quarters, but fantasy managers won’t be mad with the one highly productive quarter he offered up. Golden continues to dazzle in his second season and has now gone for 100-plus yards in four different games this season. He’s both a target hog and an air-yards king, which makes for a deadly combination as far as fantasy football is concerned. He will be a fringe WR1/WR2 next week against the Vikings.
