Matthew Golden

Golden has an excellent opportunity at elite production as Tank Dell graduated to playing on Sundays with the Houston Texans. Dell had six 100-yard receiving performances on his way to 109 catches for 1,398 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2022. Golden is the top returning receiver after pulling down 38 catches (on 59 targets) for 584 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games during his freshman season. The Cougars' new top wideout will have to get used to a new signal caller as Clayton Tune also took his talents to the NFL. Donovan Smith comes in from Texas Tech and has some experience zipping the ball around in a pass-first offense. Houston's defense will likely struggle in the new Big 12 offense, so there's good reason to believe this team will pass the ball quite a bit in most of their games. That makes Golden an intriguing pickup for fantasy teams, as he could be primed for a breakout season.
