Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Matthew Golden

Tuesday, September 30, 3:04 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was on the field for 31 out of 49 offensive snaps in Sunday's blowout win over the Panthers. His 69% snap share was the highest of the season, resulting in his best game as a Patriot. Diggs caught six of his team-leading seven targets for 101 yards. Considering Drake Maye only threw 17 passes on the day, Diggs accounted for over 40% of the team's target share. Still less than a year removed from surgery to repair his torn ACL, Diggs could soon become a weekly play, rewarding fantasy managers who were able to hold onto him through a slow start to the season.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden looks to continue his forward momentum in terms of utilization when the Packers head to Dallas to take on the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 4. Golden's first three games in the NFL have drawn mixed reviews from fantasy managers who drafted him in the middle rounds. Through three games, Golden has a combined eight targets, six receptions, and 68 receiving yards, with most of that coming in his best game to date in Week 3, where he caught four balls for 52 yards. He ran routes on 84 percent of quarterback Jordan Love's dropbacks and earned 22 percent of the first-read targets as well. To say Golden has been a disappointment is fair, but his role is growing. Golden could keep his ramp-up going in a great matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4, but we need to remember that Golden has a shockingly low fantasy floor. That said, Golden is an upside flex play for fantasy managers in Week 4.
