Week 17 vs. Green Bay Packers
Although David Blough passed for just 117 yards in the loss to the Broncos last Sunday, Kenny Golladay finished with six receptions for 66 yards and his 11th TD of the year. He’s found the end zone in three of the past four outings and registered 121 yards in the Monday night defeat at Green Bay in October. Even with the rookie QB, Golladay remains a top WR option.
Week 16 at Denver Broncos
After Detroit fell behind big versus Tampa Bay last week David Blough threw 43 passes for 260 yards. However, Kenny Golladay finished with just three receptions for 44 yards, his lowest totals since mid-November. Golladay has been over the century mark five times this season and still leads the league with 10 receiving TDs. Even though Denver’s pass defense has been decent this season, expect a better performance from Golladay on Sunday.
Week 15 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With David Blough under center, Detroit’s offense had all kinds of trouble against the Vikings last week. Kenny Golladay ended up with six catches for 58 yards and a late TD, his league-leading 10th receiving score. Blough will remain at the helm but the aerial attack has a much better opponent at home versus the league’s second-worst pass defense. Golladay continues to be a must-start WR, especially now that the Lions are without Marvin Jones.
Week 14 at Minnesota Vikings
With David Blough making his NFL debut at QB on Thanksgiving Kenny Golladay torched the Bears defense for a season-high 158 yards and a TD on four receptions. It was his fifth game over the century mark and the ninth time he’d found the end zone in ’19. Despite a big passing performance from Matthew Stafford earlier this season versus the Vikings Golladay was limited to just a 21-yard catch. Blough will remain under center for Detroit on Sunday, so Golladay makes for a WR2 play.
Week 13 vs. Chicago Bears
With Jeff Driskel throwing for just over 200 yards last Sunday in Washington, Kenny Golladay snagged four passes for a team-high 61 yards. In the three contests with Driskel under center Golladay’s productivity has tapered off, as he’s averaging just 51 yards with one TD during the span. In Week 10 at Chicago, he finished with 57 yards and that TD. The Bears have a stout defense but there’s no way Golladay is being left on your bench, even if Jeff Blough is the team's quarterback.
Week 12 at Washington Redskins
With Jeff Driskel under center again last week in the loss to the Cowboys, Kenny Golladay saw five targets but his only reception came late in the contest on a 34-yard pass. Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola also received five looks, with Jones collecting two TDs. With Driskel at the helm the past two games, Golladay has just four catches but should be in line for a better performance against an average pass defense that had its hands full with Jets pass catchers last Sunday.
Week 11 vs. Dallas Cowboys
Even with Jeff Driskel under center last Sunday at Chicago, Kenny Golladay still had a decent fantasy day, aided by a fourth-quarter 47-yard TD grab – the third straight game he’s registered a score. On a team-high nine targets, he posted three receptions for 57 yards. If Matthew Stafford is back at QB this week, that will give Golladay a boost versus a good Dallas pass defense. While the WR is a must-start, temper expectations a bit if Driskel remains the signal-caller.
Week 10 at Chicago Bears
At Oakland last Sunday, Kenny Golladay received seven targets, leading to four grabs for a season-high 132 yards and his seventh TD. Halfway through ’19, he has registered four 100-yard games, including three times over the past four weeks. Golladay is averaging over 18 yards per reception and will remain Matthew Stafford’s top target for the second half of the year. The Bears yield 230 passing yards per game, so of course Golladay will be in your lineup.
Week 9 at Oakland Raiders
After receiving only two looks a couple of weeks ago, Kenny Golladay was back to leading the Lions in receiving yards, posting a season-high 123, in the win over the G-men last Sunday. He also hauled in two scores, bringing his ’19 total to six, and has been over the century mark in two of the past three outings. The Raiders allow 285 yards per game through the air, so it’s a no-brainer to keep on riding Golladay.
Week 8 vs. New York Giants
Even though Matthew Stafford passed for over 350 yards and four touchdowns last week versus Minnesota, all the scoring tosses went to Marvin Jones. In the loss, despite playing over 80% of the offensive snaps, Kenny Golladay saw a season-low two targets, resulting in just a 21-yard reception. It was quite the anomaly, as Danny Amendola and Jones combined for 18 grabs and 198 yards. The Giants are allowing over 250 passing yards per game, so expect a rebound performance from Golladay on Sunday.
