Matthew Golden, Should Dynasty Managers Be Looking to Buy Low on Matthew Golden?
After being selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden had a rookie season to forget. Across 14 games (five starts), the 22-year-old recorded 29 catches for 361 yards and zero touchdowns on 44 targets. Golden should have a more prominent role in the Packers' offense in his second season, as the team moved on from wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks over the offseason. However, Golden may still be behind wide receivers Christian Watson and Jayden Reed, as well as tight end Tucker Kraft, on the team's target pecking order. Green Bay has been a difficult place for wide receivers to post high-end fantasy production in recent seasons, as the team has frequently opted for an equal-opportunity passing offense and a run-heavy approach overall under current head coach and play-caller Matt LaFleur. Even with a discount in his value baked in, dynasty managers may want to avoid Golden ahead of 2026.

Christian Watson, Christian Watson on the Verge of a League-Winning Breakout?
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has yet to play a full 17-game season, and for most of his four-year career, he's been part of a muddled depth chart. As a result, he has never topped 41 catches or 620 receiving yards in a season, but 2026 is set up for a true breakout. Watson is now approximately 18 months removed from the ACL injury that kept him sidelined for the first seven weeks of the 2025 season, and after the Packers moved on from two of their more heavily involved receivers from a year ago, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, the team committed to Watson in the form of a four-year, $92 million extension. Throughout his career, in games where Watson has seen at least a 75% route share, he has averaged 14.1 half-PPR fantasy points per game, which would have ranked as WR7 in 2025 and no lower than WR12 over the past four seasons. Set to see a full-time role in 2026, the 27-year-old Watson is one of the most high-upside buy candidates as RotoBalller's dynasty WR37, and it should surprise nobody if he flirts with WR1 status over the coming seasons.

Jayden Reed, Jayden Reed Carries Dynasty Buy-Low Appeal in New Look Packers Wide Receiver Room
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed missed 10 games in 2025 due to collarbone and foot injuries, finishing the year with just 19 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. Reed has been an efficient player when healthy in his career to date, recording over 1,900 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns across his first two seasons with the Packers in 2023 and 2024. However, he's struggled to see consistent target volume in the run-heavy Green Bay offense, averaging four targets per game since the start of 2024. That could change in 2026, as the Packers let wide receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded wideout Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles while signing Reed to a three-year extension this past offseason. Green Bay still has wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, but Reed should play an important role as the team's primary slot receiver. Given the Packers' financial commitment to Reed, he could be a worthy buy-low target for dynasty managers entering 2026.

Josh Whyle, Josh Whyle Emerging as Legitimate Pass-Catching Threat?
Green Bay Packers tight end Josh Whyle has emerged this offseason after taking significant snaps with the starters, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers still have Tucker Kraft as their TE1 and Luke Musgrave as depth, and Whyle only caught five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in eight games last year in Green Bay. "We can't believe that the Titans would let a product like that go," Kraft said. "And we're fortunate to have him." The 26-year-old former fifth-rounder by Tennessee in 2023 out of the University of Cincinnati caught 37 of his 52 targets for 342 yards and two touchdowns in 28 games (seven starts) in his first two years in the NFL with the Titans. Although he had a limited role with the Packers in Year 3 in 2025, Whyle could be more involved in a depth role in Green Bay in 2026. Whyle is only a name to monitor for now, and he'll likely need one of Kraft or Musgrave to miss time due to injury to find a fantasy-relevant role.

Josh Jacobs, Josh Jacobs a Potential Boom-or-Bust Pick in 2026 Drafts
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been one of fantasy's most consistent contributors when healthy, but allowing for the uncertainty stemming from his pending legal situation, he projects as one of the biggest boom-or-bust picks in 2026 drafts. Jacobs was the RB5 in 2024 and remained a top 12 fantasy back last season despite missing two games and playing through injury over the back half of the year. He has scored 30 total touchdowns in his 32 games with the Packers, and behind an offensive line that should see improvement in the run game, a healthy Jacobs is a near-lock to outperform his current ranking of RotoBaller's RB17. Green Bay has made no corresponding moves at running back since news first broke of his domestic violence allegations, and while charges have yet to be filed against him, the risk of suspension will follow Jacobs into the year, likely keeping him out of the first two rounds of 2026 drafts and threatening to derail his season altogether.
