ESPN projects Packers’ Matthew Golden to put up better numbers as rookie

As soon as the Green Bay Packers' 2025 season begins, rookie receiver Matthew Golden will be relied on for significant contributions. ESPN believes he will deliver on those expectations, even if he does not hit the ground running.

ESPN has Golden putting up 889 receiving yards and six touchdowns as a rookie, fantasy football writer Mike Clay projected. The estimated stat line would rank second among rookie wideouts, behind Carolina Panthers' No. 8 overall pick Tetairoa McMillan.

However, despite the successful numbers, Clay noted that Golden might struggle to hit his stride early in the year.
