Packers expecting ‘big year’ for Matthew Golden after offseason of shuffling at WR

In 14 regular-season tilts, the wideout generated only one above 60 yards (86 in Week 6 versus the Cincinnati Bengals) and had six tilts with fewer than 10 yards, together with three goose eggs. He completed the regular-season slate with 361 yards on 29 catches with zero touchdowns.

Golden seemed extra just like the participant the Packers have been hoping for within the postseason, when he netted 84 yards on 4 catches along with his first profession landing in a wild-card loss to the Chicago Bears. Green Bay is banking on that efficiency carrying over into 2026, the place Golden will pair with Jayden Reed and Christian Watson because the clear high three on the depth chart.
