Draft note

by John Paulsen

Golladay quietly finished the 2019 season as the No. 5 fantasy receiver (half-PPR) despite losing his quarterback midseason. He finished as the No. 21 receiver the year before. I’d much rather have Marvin Jones in the seventh round than Golladay in the third, but Golladay does project to finish with WR1 with a healthy Matthew Stafford back under center. In 23 games with a healthy Stafford, Golladay has averaged 4.6 catches for 74 yards and 0.52 touchdowns per game, which equates to a 73.6-1184-8.3 pace. The resulting 12.8 points per game (half-PPR) is about what Amari Cooper averaged as last year’s No. 9 fantasy receiver.

Lions WR Kenny Golladay added to reserve/COVID list

The Lions added WR Kenny Golladay to the reserve/COVID list on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

This does not necessarily mean Golladay tested positive for COVID-19, but the Lions must have reason to think he was at least exposed to the virus. It is impossible to know how long Golladay will be sidelined. The NFL implemented a testing and treatment protocol that he will have to clear before practicing. In the event Golladay ends up missing games, Marvin Jones would see a huge target share, especially with T.J. Hockenson also going on the reserve/COVID list today.

DET WR Kenny Golladay - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
What an outstanding third pro season Kenny Golladay had in ’19. On 119 targets, he snagged 65 passes for nearly 1,200 yards, averaging 18.3 yards per catch, and scored 11 times. And, he did all that without Matthew Stafford at QB for half of the season, seeing his number of targets decreased in contests without the veteran under center. Golladay has eclipsed 1,000 yards in two straight years and registered five 100-yard games in ’19. He is only 26 and has missed just one game the past two seasons.

Fantasy Downside
After the big year you have to wonder if the numbers will drop off in ’20, even if Stafford can remain healthy throughout. In his first two seasons he was targeted 167 times, which resulted in only eight TDs. Despite being the Lions top WR the past two seasons, he’s totaled a modest 135 receptions and managed to snag more than four passes in a contest just six times last season.

Bottom Line
Heading into the season, on paper Golladay is a top-10 fantasy WR. He has great size and speed, making him a nightmare matchup for DBs. As is the case with the Lions, if Stafford can remain upright for the whole season, the team and Galloway can post strong offensive numbers. While Galloway will continue to be the featured WR for Detroit, he’s going to need to see more targets this season in order to finish in the top 10 in PPR leagues.
