Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Matthew Golden

Saturday, October 18, 11:55 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly informed teams that they will not be trading wide receiver A.J. Brown, despite recent speculation surrounding his future. Brown has shown frustration in the offense, fueling rumors of a potential move. His frustration is understandable, as he is currently on pace for career lows in yards per game (45.7), touchdowns (1), and fantasy points (9.7). Still, with the Eagles in contention for another championship run, it makes little sense for them to part ways with their top receiving weapon. From a fantasy perspective, Brown has become a riskier week-to-week option, but his elite talent and explosive upside keep him in WR2 territory every week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden is getting better fantasy production little by little each week, and looks to get into the end zone when the Packers head to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Week 7. Golden has seen a slight uptick in involvement in targets when he's on the field, as his targets per route run have crept upwards in the last three weeks, up to last week's season-high 21.7 percent. In that three-game stretch, Golden has also averaged five targets, so there's room to grow there as well. Even with the spread-out nature of the targets in the passing game, Golden has clear upside and will be a flex-worthy fantasy wide receiver in Week 7 for Green Bay's matchup against the Cardinals.
