Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Matthew Golden

Saturday, December 6, 6:47 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett is looking to bounce back after giving fantasy managers a dud last week. Lockett struggled to make an impact, hauling in his lone target for 11 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Before that, Lockett was actually playing well with three catches or more in each of his three previous contests. Lockett has also finished with 40 receiving yards or more in two of his four games in Las Vegas. The familiarity with quarterback Geno Smith has probably helped Lockett get more comfortable in this offense. The biggest problem is that the Raiders' offense hasn't been able to successfully move the ball through the air this season. There is hope that Lockett can have a bounce-back game in Week 14. He hauled in five receptions for 44 yards during the last meeting against the Denver Broncos. Fantasy managers should put Lockett in the low-end flex category for this weekend.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 22-year-old returns from a two-game absence and will look to turn around a disappointing rookie season. Through nine games this year, he has 24 catches for 286 yards and zero touchdowns. Golden will face a tougher pass to productivity this week now that Jayden Reed has returned from injured reserve. Reed, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs all figure to be more involved than Golden once again. The Texas product can be benched in most fantasy leagues.
