Texas Longhorns star wide receiver prospect Matthew Golden’s fantasy football potential is becoming a hot topic, especially with talk of him being projected to the Dallas Cowboys. In a recent episode of Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, Matt Harmon and Daniel Jeremiah dove into what Golden could bring to the table.

From their conversation, it’s clear that Golden has the potential to ignite the Cowboys offense with some much-needed excitement and dynamism. As Jeremiah pointed out, Golden isn’t just fast (though he did mention there’s some debate about his route-running speed), but he also has strong, reliable hands — a key factor for a wide receiver. This makes him a perfect complement to CeeDee Lamb, potentially opening up the Cowboys’ offensive playbook and creating more scoring opportunities.
Harmon and Jeremiah both see Golden as a player who might not have elite separation right now, but his movement off full-speed motion and his ability to work both inside and outside could make him a nightmare for defenses. This trait is crucial since the Cowboys’ offense has felt a bit tight and predictable in past seasons.
If you’re considering Golden for your fantasy team, keep in mind that he could be the key to unlocking this Cowboys offense. With Brian Schottenheimer expected to incorporate more full-speed motion, as both hosts discussed, Golden could be an essential piece that offers both versatility and explosiveness.

In essence, Golden’s potential in the Cowboys system isn’t just about individual talent — it’s about how he fits into an evolving strategy that could see him becoming a significant fantasy asset. If drafted by Dallas, fantasy managers should watch closely during training camp and the preseason to assess his role and chemistry within the offense.
With all this in mind, targeting Golden as a fantasy draft pick could pay off, especially in leagues that recognize the upside in player potential and team fit. Keep Golden on your radar, because if the Cowboys do draft him, he might just be the spark that lights up both the field and your fantasy lineup.

Kyle Manzardo’s walk-off homer lifts Guardians over Twins after lengthy rain delay
CLEVELAND — Chris Paddack and the Minnesota Twins pitching staff were very good in a rain-delayed game on Tuesday night. The Cleveland Guardian pitchers were just a little better.Tanner Bibee and two high-leverage relievers shut down a hot Twins offense, and Bo Naylor and Kyle Manzardo each went deep, the latter with a walk-off home run, as the Guardians won 2-1 at Progressive Field. Manzardo’s solo homer off Louie Varland to start the ninth inning snapped the Twins’ four-game winning streak and evened the four-game series.AdvertisementThe teams waited out a 190-minute rain delay during which it only rained for roughly five minutes.“We were playing good baseball,” Twins shortstop Carlos Correa said. “It was a good game. We didn’t come up with a win. Come back (Wednesday) and keep up the same spirits. We’ve been playing great ball for the last […]

Fluminense x Aparecidense: só motivação não basta mais para evolução do tricolor; leia análise

Trainersuche bei Leverkusen – Ex-Bayern-Star als Alonso-Nachfolger im Visier!
Nach der Niederlage im spanischen Pokalfinale gegen Barcelona (2:3 n. V.) kam Bewegung in die Trainer-Entscheidung bei Real Madrid. Vor allem das fiese Gesicht der Verlierer-Stars um den deutschen Verteidiger Antonio Rüdiger (32) mit insgesamt drei Roten Karten in den Schluss-Sekunden für Real beschleunigten den Trennungs-Prozess von Trainer Carlo Ancelotti (65). Am Sonntagabend hieß es aus der spanischen Hauptstadt, dass die Verkündung nur noch eine Frage von Stunden sei. In Leverkusen verfolgten sie die Entwicklung mit Spannung – je schneller es geht, desto besser. Der Grund: Xabi Alonso ist der Top-Favorit auf den Job bei Real. Der Bayer-Trainer kann seinen Wechsel-Wunsch mit den Bossen Simon Rolfes (43) und Fernando Carro (60) erst dann konkret besprechen, wenn Real seine Entscheidung öffentlich verkündet hat und offiziell mit Alonso in Kontakt tritt.
