Matthew Golden steps up following Christian Watson injury

Pressed into expanded duty after Christian Watson exited with a chest injury, Matthew Golden delivered his most productive outing since Week 6 during Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The receiver emerged as a crucial late-game option, highlighted by a 27-yard reception in the fourth quarter that set up a Green Bay field goal.

Fantasy Impact

Golden finished the day with 55 yards on three catches, seizing the opportunity created by the depleted depth chart. With Watson's status for Week 16 in doubt, Golden could be in line for a significant role against the Bears on a short week.

Matthew Golden (wrist) set to play Sunday

Matthew Golden (wrist) is set to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie will be available to play on Sunday, which was to be expected given that he played through this wrist injury last week. He isn't expected to see enough work to be fantasy relevant for the remainder of the regular season, however.

Matthew Golden (wrist) limited participant Wednesday

Matthew Golden (wrist) was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie was able to play through his wrist injury last week, but the team still wants to be careful with his recovery and let him be limited at Wednesday's practice as a result. Assuming he suffers no setbacks, he is on track to play again in Week 15 but doesn't project to be fantasy relevant for the foreseeable future.

Matthew Golden sees one target in Week 14

Matthew Golden failed to catch his only target in the Packers' 28-21 win over the Bears in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Golden remains minimally involved in the Green Bay passing attack, finishing with three targets or less in each of his last four games. The wideout cannot be trusted by fantasy managers ahead of a tough Week 15 contest against the Denver Broncos.
