Best Matthew Golden Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Matthew Golden O 66.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Golden is on the heels of a 123-yard showing vs. the Bears, setting a career-high for the second-year wideout. Golden has finished with 95+ yards in 3-of-5 games this season, thanks to a much larger role.

After seeing an 11% target share on a 54% route rate last season, Golden is handling a 23% target share while running a route on 82% his team’s dropbacks this season. Golden leads the Packers with 12 targets over 20 yards and he is averaging a strong 2.5 YPPR.

Coming off the career-high 123-yard showing vs. the Bears, Golden now faces a Cowboys defense that has been terrible through the air this season, allowing the third-most yards per pass (8.1).

Both the Packers and Dallas rank top-seven in pace and PROE, and this game’s 53.5-point total on DraftKings Sportsbook is tied for the highest of Week 6. This tilt has shootout written all over it and Golden should thrive in this elite environment.
