More on Golden and the WR board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #48 overall, #12 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 86 (roughly round 8 in a 12-team league). We rank him #26 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 15.5 PPR points per game across an expected 10 games — approximately 155 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 9.9 and 21 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #48 in projected scoring (#26 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 71% of games, with a floor of 9.8 and a ceiling of 22.4 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 29% of games and busted (under half his average) in 0%.
