Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Matthew Golden

Saturday, November 1, 2:51 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is in line for a high-volume receiving day, poised to exploit a favorable Week 9 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers defense. Robinson, currently the WR23 with 10.08 fantasy points per game, is leading the Giants in targets (57) and operating with an 82.6% snap share, solidifying his role as the top receiving option following injuries. The 49ers defense, while strong against scoring (8th in points against), is the 21st-ranked fantasy defense versus wide receivers, allowing a generous 33.81 fantasy points per game. Notably, San Francisco struggles to generate pressure (31st in sacks), which benefits quarterback Jaxson Dart and gives Robinson more time to separate. This high-target floor and plus matchup make Robinson a strong WR2 play with significant upside in this home contest.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur called rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) day-to-day on Monday after he suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. It's not a long-term injury for Golden, but how much he's able to do at practice this week will determine whether he's able to suit up in Week 10 on Monday Night Football in a showdown against the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-year-old pass-catcher caught two of his three targets for only nine yards on Sunday before getting injured, so he was a bust for any fantasy managers who started him in Week 9. There have been glimpses of the star potential that Golden has in 2025, but he hasn't been able to put it all together yet. The good news is that he should have a bigger role going forward with tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) now done for the year due to a torn ACL.
