2024 Receiving Projections
Low production in win
Golden caught 3 of 5 targets for 34 yards during Saturday's 56-7 win against Texas-San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Despite the Longhorns putting up 56 points, Golden was unable to find the end zone for the first time this season. The junior wide receiver was forming chemistry with quarterback Quinn Ewers (oblique/abdomen) and will have to start to build rapport with Arch Manning while he fills in under center.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Golden has an excellent opportunity at elite production as Tank Dell graduated to playing on Sundays with the Houston Texans. Dell had six 100-yard receiving performances on his way to 109 catches for 1,398 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2022. Golden is the top returning receiver after pulling down 38 catches (on 59 targets) for 584 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games during his freshman season. The Cougars' new top wideout will have to get used to a new signal caller as Clayton Tune also took his talents to the NFL. Donovan Smith comes in from Texas Tech and has some experience zipping the ball around in a pass-first offense. Houston's defense will likely struggle in the new Big 12 offense, so there's good reason to believe this team will pass the ball quite a bit in most of their games. That makes Golden an intriguing pickup for fantasy teams, as he could be primed for a breakout season.
