Matthew Golden a Strong Option in Week 10 Despite Matchup

Friday, November 13, 11:20 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden is coming off a career-best performance against New England, catching all 10 of his targets for 164 yards and a touchdown. The second-year receiver has developed into one of Jordan Love's most dependable options, recording 53 receptions for 783 yards and five touchdowns this season. Golden also produced against Minnesota in Week 1, finishing with six catches for 95 yards on 12 targets. The Vikings have allowed just 20.3 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, presenting a difficult matchup for Green Bay's passing attack. Christian Watson's recent success also creates competition for targets. Golden remains a high-end WR2 for Sunday, though matching last week's production will be a challenge.

Luther Burden III News

Luther Burden III Diagnosed with a Concussion

Sunday, November 8, 7:14 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion following Sunday's Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Burden exited after taking a scary head-to-head hit late in the fourth quarter of the Bears' victory. He immediately collapsed to the ground after the hit and required medical assistance. The 22-year-old finished Week 9 with nine targets, seven catches, 97 yards, and one touchdown. If there's any good news here, it's that the Bears have a Week 10 bye, so Burden will get extra time to recover. Clearing concussion protocol in one week is tricky, but Burden will have 14 days for his symptoms to improve before the Bears play again. In the event that his recovery takes longer than expected and he has to miss Week 11 as well, then Kalif Raymond and Zavion Thomas would handle a significant increase in offensive snaps.
