Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Matthew Golden

Tuesday, December 9, 2:53 PM

Seattle wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is coming off his best game in a Seahawks uniform and is currently rostered in about 50% of leagues, making him an interesting waiver add in Week 15. In the Week 14 win over the Falcons, he caught four of his five targets for 67 yards, while his 100-yard kick return touchdown blew open what was a tight game to that point. Shaheed's usage since being traded to Seattle had been underwhelming, but his 76% of snaps lined up wide against Atlanta marked a season-high, and his 12.8-yard average depth of target was nearly two and a half yards higher than he had seen across his first four games with the Seahawks. Seattle faces a suddenly reeling Colts team in Week 15 that ranks 29th in the league in fantasy points above expectation surrendered to the wide receiver position.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky writes that Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited by his wrist injury in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also limited, allowing Bo Melton to step into the No. 4 receiver role. Melton's only catch of the game was a big 45-yard touchdown. The 22-year-old Golden returned to action on Sunday and disappointed, failing to haul in his only target while playing just five offensive snaps. The Texas product had missed the previous two games with shoulder and wrist injuries. Golden should have a bigger role in a Week 15 matchup on the road against the 11-2 Denver Broncos, but fantasy managers just cannot trust him in a tough matchup while being buried in a crowded receiving corps that just got Jayden Reed back from Injured Reserve.
