Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden is set to "step cleanly" into the role that current New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs filled for the Packers last season, according to ESPN's Ben Solak, who notes that with Doubs and Philadelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks gone, there are 131 targets that are available to be filled this year. Huddle Up: Unlike recent seasons, the Packers have a clear-cut top three with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Golden. Doubs easily led the team in targets a year ago, and if Golden is truly sliding into that specific role, he could have some untapped upside -- certainly on paper, Golden, a first-round pick in 2025, has more physical talent than Doubs, a former fourth-rounder. If you can grab Golden as a WR4, he might be comfortably outperform that designation.
