DeVonta Smith Looks to Follow Up on Big Game

Wednesday, October 8, 6:47 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith boomed against the Broncos, recording his highest target and receiving yard counts of the season in a team-leading performance. The question with Smith, as usual, is whether or not he can turn this into consistency. After his last big game against the Rams, he followed it up with two catches on two targets in the next outing. This week, he does have a very favorable matchup against the Giants, who are allowing the second-most fantasy points to WRs this season. Plus, on a short week, Smith might be able to capitalize on a New York defense that's less than 100% conditioned. He's worth a WR3 spot in what should be his second consecutive strong week.

Matthew Golden Starting to Find His Way?

Tuesday, October 14, 10:53 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden led the team with 86 receiving yards in Week 6 against the Bengals and added 16 yards on a pair of rushes as well. The Packers seem to be focused on getting the first-round pick more involved in the offense, and the playmaker is starting to look more comfortable in the NFL in his last few games. Romeo Doubs continues to be a more reliable security blanket for Jordan Love, but Golden brings more deep play potential. How exactly Christian Watson (knee) will fit into the mix once he's ready to come off the PUP list is uncertain. Golden brings enough upside, though, to be a great waiver wire pickup if you need a WR3 or flex play this week against the Cardinals. He hasn't had his elusive "breakout" game yet, but it still seems like it could be just around the corner.
