Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Savion Williams has a concussion and was out of practice today.
Rookie wide receiver Savion Williams was held out of practice today at Green Bay Packers training camp. Williams was a third round selection for the Packers in the 2025 NFL Draft and had made a few nice catches at the start of training camp.
Williams is competing for snaps in a crowded Green Bay wide receiver room so he won’t want to miss much time but the team is prioritizing his health in this situation.
Williams is behind Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks on the depth chart and is a late round dart throw in fantasy drafts, the concussion won’t help his stock but also wouldn’t expect his ADP to fall much either.

With first round draft pick Matthew Golden in town, Dontayvion Wicks is falling both on the depth chart and in best ball drafts.
Dontayvion Wicks was a hyped up sleeper for 2024, often drawing comparisons to a young Davante Adams. Those are large shoes to fill for most any wideout and Wicks certainly didn’t measure up with his WR72 finish in 2024.
On Underdog, Wicks has fallen 5.9 spots in the last week from the late 17th round to the early 18th round. With Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden being selected in round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft, all Packers receivers have become more questionable for their role in the upcoming season. While Jayden Reed takes the most obvious hit, further down the depth chart the enthusiasm for Dontayvion Wicks has wavered.
At best, Wicks is a late dart throw in best ball drafts when stacked with Jordan Love or correlated with the Packers fantasy playoff schedule. Otherwise, there are better dart throws to be had.

The Packers select Matthew Golden with the 23rd pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.
The Green Bay Packers select Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden with the 23rd pick in the first round. This is the first time since 2002 that the Packers have selected a wide receiver in round 1, Javon Walker.
This is an excellent move and much needed for quarterback Jordan Love. Christian Watson is perpetually dealing with hamstring injuries and Jayden Reed is wildly inconsistent. Matthew Golden saw his draft stock rise significantly after running a 4.29 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. Look for Jordan Love’s stock to rise in dynasty and expect Matthew Golden to creep into round 1 of superflex rookie drafts.

Candidate to be the WR1 in the 2025 Draft Matthew Golden visits the Detroit Lions.
Former Texas Longhorns WR Matthew Golden visited the Detroit Lions. Golden is mocked in the 1st round for April’s Draft, and could go as the first Wide Receiver off the board.
Golden ran a 100th percentile 4.29 40-yard dash and 91st-percentile Speed Score at the NFL Combine. Golden caught 58 passes for over 900 yards and 9 TDs in his 3rd year at Texas.
The Lions’ offense is built on speed and toughness– which makes Golden a great fit. Paired with speedy weapons Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs, Golden would unlock another level for the Lions offense. The Lions hold the 28th pick in the first round, but are known for moving all over the board to acquire the best draft targets.

While catching buzz for the NFL draft, Matthew Golden’s ADP is rising in best ball drafts.
Matthew Golden’s average draft position is steadily rising in Underdog drafts. Since February 11th, Golden has risen 4.2 spots from WR-50 up to WR-48 in round 8. The Texas wide receiver has been gaining steam ever since he declared for the NFL draft.
Daniel Jeremiah recently did a mock draft where Matthew Golden landed with the Buffalo Bills at pick 30 in round 1. According to Pro Football Focus, Golden was tied for 15th in deep catches with 13 and 30th in deep yards with 438 in 2024. Fantasy gamers who watch college football who tuned into Texas games in 2024 to see Isaiah Bond were pleasantly drawn to Golden’s big play ability.
Between the NFL Combine and the NFL Draft, expect more buzz to pick up for Matthew Golden. In the meantime, expect a steady creep up draft boards as fantasy gamers process Golden’s likelihood of landing in a bullish spot.
