Packers' Matthew Golden: Records TD catch in win
Golden brought in three of seven targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards.
Jordan Love threw for a modest 197 yards overall on the afternoon, so Golden's subdued production can be viewed within that context. The second-year speedster tied with Tucker Kraft for the team lead in targets on the afternoon, and although Golden brought in less than half of them. he recorded his second touchdown grab of the campaign on a two-yard reception early in the second quarter. Golden's reception and yardage totals were season lows, but he still on pace for a breakout second campaign with an 18-274-2 line going into a Week 5 home divisional matchup against the Bears next Sunday.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Hits century mark in loss
Golden brought in five of 12 targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.
Golden set the pace for the Packers in both receiving yards and targets with totals that also qualified as or tied new single-game career highs. The second-year wideout has hit the ground running this season, quickly generating a 15-253-1 line on 30 targets while showing clearly improved chemistry with Jordan Love. The speedster also added his first touchdown catch of the campaign on an impressive 15-yard grab in the fourth quarter where Golden had to reach behind him to reel in the ball, and he'll remain a coveted option in all fantasy formats in a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Posts team-high 58 receiving yards
Golden caught four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets.
In addition to leading the team in receiving yards, Golden drew a pivotal 38-yard pass interference penalty to get the Packers out of a first-and-25 hole on a drive that culminated in a Christian Watson touchdown catch to cut the deficit to three points in the fourth quarter. Golden has been out-targeted 19-18 by Watson through two games, and both wide receivers figure to maintain prominent roles in Thursday's Week 3 home game against the Eagles. Fellow Packers wideout Jayden Reed (neck) looks unlikely to suit up for that game after being carted off the field on the opening drive Sunday.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Draws team-high 12 targets in win
Golden caught six of 12 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
With the Packers chasing the Vikings on the scoreboard much of the fourth quarter and getting virtually nothing from their running game all day, Jordan Love dropped back to pass 46 times, and Golden's 40 routes and 12 targets both led the team, as he lined up out wide 92.5 percent of the time. The second-year wideout's 28.6 percent target share is a great sign for his fantasy viability moving forward. Golden will be a WR3 with upside next Sunday on the road against the Jets.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Records one catch in preseason
Golden finished the Packers' preseason schedule with one catch (on one target) for 19 yards across two games.
Golden was held without a target in the team's exhibition opener but was on the receiving end of a dot from QB Jordan Love in Denver in preseason Week 2, displaying the duo's growing rapport. Green Bay invested a first-round pick in Golden during the 2025 Draft, but a crowded receiving corps capped him to just a 29-361-0 line on 44 targets in 14 regular-season games as a rookie. With Romeo Doubs having moved on to the Patriots in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks getting traded to the Eagles this offseason, the WR options for Love are more clear cut between Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Golden, giving the latter a better chance to tap into his potential in the upcoming campaign.
