Right now, there are seven wide receivers in fantasy football that you could buy low on before they break out.

0:05.0

These guys are massively undervalued right now, but that might not last for long. So in this video, we're going to break down exactly why you want to try and trade for them while you still can. And let's start with the Packers' first round rookie wide receiver, 23rd overall pick in the first round this past year, Matthew Golden, because let's be honest. The first couple of weeks of the season, Matthew Golden, has been a disappointment.

0:21.8

In week two on Thursday night football, he was just missed

0:23.9

multiple times for touchdowns. So those touchdowns didn't come through. And through the first two weeks

0:27.9

of the season, he ranked fourth amongst the wide receivers on this team, sixth amongst overall

0:32.1

players in target share at just 8%. Now, this was a guy who all offseason through the training camp, mini camp, preseason, he was getting praise as their clear number one option. Not the case so far, obviously when he's playing just 63% of the routes to start the year, 8% of the targets. However, we saw in week three with no Jaden Reed, with a banged up Tucker craft, with Christian Watson still out, some more usage for Matthew Golden. Because in week three, in a tough matchup against the Cleveland Browns, you could see right here, Golden actually led the team. Four catches, 52 yards. He leads the team in receiving. He leads the wide receivers and targets in this game. Only Josh Jacobs, the running back, had more catches with five on nine targets. And Matthew Golden started to kind of stand out a little bit.

1:11.1

By now, you've probably seen this play if you watch football, but this was his big 30 plus yard reception when the Packers were backed up in their own goal line. And look at this. He catches it down the right sideline. And for some reason, for some reason, he's not led properly. It could have been led a little bit better. But look at this. Where he catches the ball right here and he has his second foot down, he does not cut it upstream or upfield, I should say. Obviously, the momentum is pulling him out of bounds. But he has four to five steps, five steps there to kind of regather himself and he doesn't. That would have been a 90 plus yard touchdown. Obviously, if he has that 90 plus yard touchdown, if Jordan Love doesn't miss him in week two on Thursday night for a wide open 50-plus yard touchdown, it's a totally different story. You probably can't buy low on Matthew Golden right now. I mean, people are viewing him as like a fantasy bust right now because you had to take him in like the eighth or maybe ninth round of your draft. Not the case. He's been getting open. He leads the NFL and Packers-wide receivers right now in separation. and this past week he led the team with 16% of the targets he was second on the team a top two

2:02.5

receiver behind their number one romeo dobs in terms of is wide receivers right now in separation. And this past week, he led the team with 16% of the targets.

2:20.7

He was second on the team, a top two receiver behind their number one Romeo Dobbs in terms of Rout's run as well. If you take out the nine targets at the checkdown targets because Jordan Love was under pressure nonstop from a good Brown's defensive line and his offensive line was also banged up. If you were to just subtract those panic checkdown targets to Josh Jacob, So Matthew Golden in this game actually would have seen a 25% target share, which is very good.

2:34.7

Everything ised up. If you were to just subtract those panic checkdown targets to Josh Jacob, so Matthew Golden in this game actually would have seen a 25% target share, which is very good. Everything is trending up right now. We just haven't seen that big splash play of a touchdown at this point because this past week four catches 52 yards and a tough matchup is pretty solid. 57% of the routes week one, then 68%, then 84%. This is ramping up in a nice direction with jaden reed still going to miss at least another month, probably even Christian Motzine going to miss another month, and right now,

2:38.2

he has the perfect schedule. To start the year, it wasn't one of the greatest schedules, and right now in week four, and honestly, the weeks after that, it's going to be awesome. I mean, he's going to get the face to Dallas Cowboys this week. Let's not forget how bad this Dallas Cowboys defense is.

2:48.7

Two weeks ago, Malik Neighbors had 167 yards and two touchdowns.

2:51.5

Even Wondell Robinson in that game had 142 yards in a touchdown.

2:54.2

Their third wide receiver, Darius Lain, had 61 yards in that game. But it doesn't stop there because this past week we got to see Caleb Ames and the Bears offense get right against this exact same cowboy second there. To the tune of Luther Burton having 100 yards in a touchdown, Roma Dunsay having 62 yards in a touchdown. And even DJ Moore found the end zone and had 21 yards. All three wide receivers scored a touchdown. The past two weeks alone, the Cowboys have allowed six wide receiver touchdowns to five different players. So if I was you, I'd be trying to buy low right now on Matthew Golden over the past 24 hours as of the recording of this video. These are some of the trades currently happening. Kyle Pitt, yeah, give me golden.

3:25.3

Cooper Cup, give me golden.

3:26.2

Kenneth Gamewell, Golden, Caleb Williams, Golden.

3:28.4

Treveon Henderson, that one's kind of a toss-up, but probably lean Golden. T.J. Hawkinson, Golden, I want Trey Benson there. Trey Benson is probably a top 50 overall player rest of season. but for the most part, you can get Matthew Golden right now fairly cheap.

3:39.4

Now, the next guy you should go out and buy because most people are considering Quentin Johnston a sell high,

3:43.3

the Chargers potential number one receiver right now, and I don't think that's the case at all. A lot of people coming into the season saw Quentin Johnston as maybe the wide receiver three, maybe even wide receiver four behind Trey Harris on this team. Right now, he's literally operating as the number one option for Justin Herbert. I mean, after all, he leads this team in receiving yards this past week. Another six catches, 89 yards, 14.8 yards per reception. He leads the chargers as well, averaging 17 yards per catch right now. So far on the season through three games, 27% of the targets are going to Keenan Allen. Okay, a lot of those are in the short areas of the field. 22% are going to Quentin Johnson, just 21% to Ladd-McConkie.

4:16.4

Now, who knows if this keeps up over the course of 17 games, but for the first three games, I don't see why it won't. Quentin Johnson is making plays at all levels, especially downfield right now, and Justin Herbert is trusting him, and Justin Herbert is playing like the best quarterback in football and they're throwing the ball way more than people expected this is where

4:30.1

quentin johnson currently ranks in overall counting stats through three games, 20th in receptions, sixth in receiving yards, 13th in yards after contact. You want to look at his downfield role as well. He's seeing some nice downfield usage. His average depth of target, it's actually like the perfect range for one of these downfield receivers. Average that the target is 14.4 yards. It's 16th in the NFL, but it's not to the point where it's high enough at like 16 or 17 yards where he's like a boom or bus player. He actually has a decent amount of like these 10 to 15 yard catches as well that are sustaining his production. And he's also massively involved in the red zone. He has three total touchdowns on the season. Obviously, some of those are different from outside the red zone, 70 plus yard touchdowns.

5:07.1

But he's earned multiple red zone targets so far this season. So this is a guy by the end of the year. I don't think he's going to be the number one on this team, but he's clearly breaking out right now. It's not fluky. It's not like last year where he had two touchdowns in week two and one of them was a blown coverage, right?
