Matthew Golden Primed for Expanded Role in Year 2

Golden enters his sophomore campaign healthy and listed as a starting outside receiver opposite Christian Watson. After a developmental rookie year, the coaching staff praised his refined route running throughout training camp, and Golden himself expressed high confidence ahead of an expanded role in Green Bay's passing attack.

While fantasy managers have stashed him in 91% of leagues, only 18% are actively starting him in lineups. Our models project Golden for around 3.3 receptions and 43 receiving yards on roughly five targets, establishing him as a volatile WR4 or flex option who is best left on the bench until steady target consistency is proven.

Outlook Devaughn Vele

Devaughn Vele at Detroit — Slot Role Offers Sneaky Deep-League Value

Devaughn Vele enters the regular-season opener fully healthy and operating as New Orleans' primary slot receiver. With wideout Jordyn Tyson sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Vele is positioned for immediate work alongside Chris Olave in an offense now led by Tyler Shough.

Our weekly projections slate Vele for roughly 2.5 receptions, 30 receiving yards, and 4.1 targets, yielding approximately 7.2 fantasy points. Currently rostered in just 17% of leagues with a 1% start rate, fantasy managers can keep him on the bench in standard setups, but he profiles as a sneaky PPR stash or deep-league flex if he commands reliable slot volume.
