Matthew Golden, Packers "Clearing the Way" for Matthew Golden on WR Depth Chart

The Green Bay Packers are "clearing the way" for wide receiver Matthew Golden to move up the depth chart as he heads into his second season in the NFL, writes Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers let Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and then recently traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Packers never made Golden, a first-rounder (23rd overall) in 2025, a focal point of the offense last year, and he finished with just 29 catches for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games. Golden caught four passes for 84 yards and his first career touchdown reception in the playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. "I think his ceiling is very, very high. We're very, very excited about what he's going to do for our football team moving forward," general manager Brian Gutekunst said. Christian Watson will be the Packers' No. 1 wideout and big-play threat, but he's also been very injury-prone in his career. Jayden Reed is also expected to have a bigger role, but with both Doubs and Wicks out of town, Golden should be much more involved in 2026 after he let his frustration with his rookie role be known. In single-year leagues, Golden will be a WR4/flex option with big-play abilities and still plenty of upside.

Christian Watson, How High is the Ceiling for Christian Watson?

Injuries have forced Packers wide receiver Christian Watson to miss 21 games across his first four seasons, but when healthy, he's shown continued flashes of game-breaking ability, and with Green Bay recently thinning its receiver ranks, he could have a path to fantasy greatness. After tearing his ACL in the final week of the 2024 season, Watson missed the first seven games of 2025, but upon his return, it didn't take long for him to endear himself to his fantasy managers. From Weeks 8 through 17, Watson was the WR9 in Half-PPR formats, finding the end zone six times across his final seven outings and once more in a Wild Card playoff loss to the Bears. Green Bay has since allowed Romeo Doubs to leave in free agency and has traded away Dontayvion Wicks, opening up a combined 127 targets from 2025. Health and a competing cluster of talent at wide receiver have been the biggest obstacles to Watson's sustained fantasy success, but with at least one hurdle seemingly cleared, he will enter the season 20 months removed from his ACL tear and atop the depth chart. Tight end Tucker Kraft, who was the team's best pass-catcher through the first half of the 2025 season is rehabbing his own ACL injury and could be limited to start the year, leaving Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed as Watson's greatest target competition one year after combining for 539 receiving yards and one touchdown, numbers exceeded by Watson in fewer than half the games played.

Tucker Kraft, Tucker Kraft Worth Buying Low in Dynasty Leagues?

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is still an intriguing dynasty option as he works his way back from a torn ACL. Kraft ranked as the overall TE1 in PPR leagues last year before suffering the season-ending injury in Week 9. He had carved out a prominent role in the Packers' offense, emerging as Jordan Love's favorite target over an uninspiring group of wide receivers. We could see Kraft have an equally large workload in 2026, especially after the Packers traded away Dontayvion Wicks and watched Romeo Doubs depart in free agency. Health is the biggest concern for Kraft, and while it seems like he should be ready for the season opener, it's unclear if the effects of his recovery will have any impact on his mobility or production. We wouldn't be surprised if he picks up right where he left off, and even if he isn't the TE1 overall, he certainly has top-five value at the tight end position going forward. Given that Kraft has tremendous upside and is just 25 years old, he's a very appealing option in dynasty fantasy football leagues. The aforementioned ACL tear has dropped his price in dynasty trade talks, so managers might be able to buy low on Kraft this offseason.

Jayden Reed, Jayden Reed Poised for Larger Role in Green Bay Following Offseason Movement

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed suffered through a lost season due to injuries in 2025, as foot and collarbone ailments caused him to miss 10 games. Still, the 25-year-old was a productive player across his first two NFL seasons from 2023 to 2024, recording over 1,900 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns in the two years combined. Despite the production, Reed has always struggled to carve out a high-volume role in Green Bay. Across his last 24 NFL games, Reed is averaging just over four targets per game. However, so far this offseason Green Bay has lost veteran wideout Romeo Doubs to free agency and traded away wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks. As a result, Reed currently projects for a prominent role in the team's offense alongside wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. If Reed sees more touches in 2026, he could re-emerge as a solid wide receiver option for fantasy managers.

Matthew Golden, Does Matthew Golden Have a Clear Path to a Starting Role in His Sophomore Season?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden had a relatively quiet rookie year in 2025, recording 29 receptions for 361 yards and zero touchdowns on 44 targets across 14 games played. However, offseason movement around the former first-round pick in Green Bay may be clearing a path for Golden to take on a much larger role in 2026. Former Packers wideout Romeo Doubs signed with the New England Patriots in free agency, and Green Bay traded wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. While the Packers still have a pair of talented pass-catchers in wideouts Christian Watson and Jayden Reed, Golden should be in line for more playing time as a result of the moves. In dynasty formats, Golden's value is trending upward despite his underwhelming production as a rookie.
