With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks out of the picture, former No. 23 overall pick Matthew Golden faces a “no excuses” sophomore season after a quiet 361-yard debut. His 1.14 Yards Per Route Run (Rank #78) was abysmal, but his 15.2 Average Target Distance (Rank #12) reflected an ability to command deep targets.
He must now transcend his game to earn consistent volume. While his 4.33 speed (99th-percentile Speed Score) offers league-winning upside, he remains a volatile WR4 until he proves he can win at all levels of the field. Based on his first round pick status, and suddenly wide open depth chart in Green Bay, Golden is an interesting draft capital vs. production buy-low option for dynasty leagues.

LaFleur said the team plans to “strip everything down” on the offensive side of the football in 2026. While Matt LeFleur clearly wants to seize control of the narrative, simplicity and “role clarity” only matters if Green Bay’s best playmakers get to see the field. Fortunately, the team jettisoned albatross WR Romeo Doubs, opening up snap share for speedy sophomore Matthew Golden and spike week specialist Christian Watson.
Boosting Watson’s 72.9% Route Participation and Golden’s 58.5% Route Participation will also help Jordan Love threaten defenses vertically. If Love can marry his elite efficiency in 2025 with more pass volume, he and his wide receivers would exceed their fantasy football ADP expectations in 2026.
The Green Bay Packers agreed to multiyear contract extensions with head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst, committing to their current structure. LaFleur owns a 76-40-1 regular season record and has led the Packers to the playoffs in 6 of his 7 seasons. Gutenkunst, the team’s GM since 2018, played a key role in the hiring of LaFleur and the drafting of QB Jordan Love. Team president Ed Policy cited continuity as a priority, preferring to avoid contract-year uncertainty at head coach or general manager.
LaFleur’s offense is widely respected around the league despite recent postseason frustrations, and Jordan Love has shown that he can operate effectively within it. Love’s 2025 fantasy season was an inconsistent, unreliable roller-coaster ride, and fantasy players should expect more of the same in 2026.

The Green Bay Packers were all in on this season with the big trade for pass rusher Micah Parsons, then he tore his ACL and the offense faltered down the stretch. This led to a lot of rumbling that head coach Matt LaFleur was on the hot seat. Despite the rumors the Packers brass has publicly stated they want to extend LaFleur who under contract through the 2026 season. It takes two to tango, so both sides need to come to an agreement.
The Packers retaining Matt LaFleur will be best for quarterback Jordan Love, who finished as QB15 for 2025, despite missing a few games due to injury. The Packers are a very efficient offense, and very young across the board. Maintaining consistency is the best path for success for this team.

Green Bay had been battling injuries across the board to close out the regular season. It appears the team has turned the corner in that respect, especially from the two most important skill players on the roster. Running back Josh Jacobs and quarterback Jordan Love have no reported limitations for Saturday night’s first-round playoff matchup when the Packers invade Chicago to do battle with the No. 2 seed and division rival Bears.
Jacobs, who has been battling a nagging knee injury all season, managed just 28 combined carries in Weeks 15-17, but got a full rest with other starters in Week 18. “My body coming into this game is the best I’ve felt probably in the last six weeks,” Jacobs said. “So it’s a pretty good situation to be in.” Meanwhile, Jordan Love is a week removed from clearing concussion protocol. He sustained the concussion and exited Week 16 early before missing Week 17. Love cleared league protocol before the team’s Week 18 affair, but was held out along with others to be ready for Saturday. Neither he nor Jacobs carries any injury designation for the game.
Green Bay is currently favored by 1.5 points for the matchup at Soldier Field.

The Green Bay Packers struggled on offense on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles but Josh Jacobs found the endzone. Jacobs finished with 107 scrimmage yards in addition to the touchdown.
Jordan Love only had 158 passing yards and no pass catcher had more than 45 receiving yards. Christian Watson led the Packers with 45 receiving yards, no else reached 40.
The Packers have a deep wide receiver rotation but no one really stepped up tonight, Josh Jacobs is the safest Packer going forward.
