Expert Note
View More NotesAfter two games, Matthew Golden is the WR22 in fantasy points per game. Golden has a 25.4% target share, 2.32 YPRR, three red zone targets, two deep targets, and a 28.6% first-read share. Golden has been awesome. This week, he gets a Falcons' pass defense that has the seventh-highest single-high rate in the NFL (64.6%). Against single-high, Golden has a strong 25% target-per-route run rate and 1.90 YPRR. He should have success again this week against a secondary that will be without AJ Terrell and has allowed the ninth-most yards per target to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 16th in fantasy points per target allowed to the position.

Fantasy Impact
Golden has been one of the few bright spots in an underperforming Packers offense to begin the season, recording four or more receptions for over 50 receiving yards in each of the first two contests. The wideout will look for another impactful performance in a favorable Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
