Matthew Golden News
Sunday, May 3, 11:28 AM
A first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden failed to establish a consistent role in his team's offense as a rookie. Across 14 games, the 22-year-old recorded 29 receptions for 361 yards and zero touchdowns on 44 targets. Despite the underwhelming production, there's reason for dynasty managers to be optimistic about Golden heading into 2026. The Packers let wide receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded away wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles. Green Bay still has a pair of talented wideouts ahead of Golden on the depth chart in Christian Watson and Jayden Reed. Still, Golden should have an opportunity to step into a far more prominent role in the Packers' passing game. In dynasty formats, managers may want to seek out buy-low opportunities on Golden ahead of 2026.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Tuesday, May 26, 1:41 PM
Carolina Panthers second-year wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (undisclosed) is not practicing with the rest of the team during OTA practice on Tuesday and is working with the training staff, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers haven't announced a specific injury for McMillan, but it's expected to be a minor ailment as the club begins their OTAs this week. The 23-year-old impressed in his first year in the NFL in 2025 after Carolina selected him with the eighth overall pick out of the University of Arizona. McMillan quickly developed a strong relationship with quarterback Bryce Young and was his go-to target all year, leading the team with 70 receptions, 1,014 yards, and seven touchdowns on 122 targets across 17 regular-season starts. He finished as the WR15 in half-PPR scoring and will be a high-end WR2 target in fantasy drafts this fall with upside to become a true WR1 in his sophomore season for the Panthers. The arrow is pointing directly up after McMillan was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2025.
