The Green Bay Packers will visit the Denver Broncos in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Matthew Golden.

Should You Start or Sit Golden in Week 15?
Golden returned from a wrist injury and proved that the wrist may not have been the only thing that was keeping him out.
The Packers gave the rookie just four routes in what was their most important game of the season to date, and I think that tells you all you need to know when it comes to holding out hope for a late-season breakout.
Jayden Reed returned to action and looked healthy, while Christian Watson continues to do what Golden was drafted to do and challenge defenses vertically. In a different world, Golden explodes early in the season with Watson on the shelf, but in this world, the opposite has come to pass, and that means in all redraft leagues, Golden is dead weight.
In a dynasty situation, I actually think you could make a decent argument for him as a buy low. He possesses a single skill that is already NFL-ready, and Green Bay appears to have its quarterback of the present and future. Holistically, this is a good spot for the Golden profile long-term, and if he’s rostered by a manager that can win a title this year, maybe you can acquire him at a discount.
Worth a look.
