After a challenging 2025 rookie season, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden is finally coming into his own. On Sunday, the former Texas Longhorns star wide receiver had yet another big performance, as he helped Green Bay take down the Dallas Cowboys in a 23-13 win at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
The 23-year-old Golden did not exactly have an efficient evening, catching only six of 13 targets from quarterback Jordan Love, but he still came away with 104 receiving yards and a touchdown on six receptions and 13 targets. He easily could have had a much bigger production to make his fantasy football owners even happier if not for a couple of drops on potential big plays.
Nevertheless, Golden had a night.

Golden’s showing against the Cowboys gave him his second consecutive 100-yard outings. A week before, he posted 123 receiving yards on six receptions and seven targets during a 31-7 home win over the Chicago Bears.
With his last two outings, Golden became the first Green Bay player to have such back-to-back performances.
