Scouting report

DET WR Kenny Golladay - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Even though he missed five full games his rookie season, Kenny Golladay showed flashes of brilliance, finishing with 28 grabs for 477 yards and 3 touchdowns. In his first regular-season contest as a pro, he registered 4 grabs, 69 yards, and 2 of his TDs. Golladay should be headed for even bigger things in 2018, as he consistently torched the first-team defense, especially in the red zone, during offseason workouts. He could become a touchdown extraordinaire, with his 6-foot-4 frame that includes a 32-inch wingspan.

Fantasy Downside

Matthew Stafford has built a good rapport with starters Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, so Golladay’s playing time and targets may not be as high as owners would like. While he’s fully healed now, he missed action last year due to a lingering hamstring injury.

2018 Bottom Line

There’s not much to dislike about Golladay, as he possesses 4.5-speed and has the ability to leap over almost anyone. He should definitely be a red zone weapon for Stafford but can be so much more, as five of his receptions totaled over 40 yards during his rookie season. It’s likely he’ll go undrafted in most leagues, but Golladay should be someone you’ll want to keep an eye on and grab off the waiver wires, especially if Tate or Jones get injured.

DET WR Kenny Golladay - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Green Bay Packers

Even though Matthew Stafford completed only 19 passes last week at Cincinnati, Kenny Golladay continues to be a part of the Detroit passing attack. On 8 targets, the rookie caught 4 balls for 28 yards, posting nearly identical stats in back-to-back games. The Packers defense is banged up and has had its troubles at stopping the pass, but Stafford has too many weapons to make Golladay a viable fantasy option.

DET WR Kenny Golladay - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Cincinnati Bengals

With Matthew Stafford throwing the ball 33 times last Saturday versus the Bears, Kenny Golladay was targeted a season-high 5 times, leading to the first 4-reception game of the rookie’s career. While he totaled only 29 yards on those grabs, Golladay is getting some looks from his QB and remains a red zone threat with his 6-foot-4 frame. With your fantasy championship on the line, however, you’re better off looking elsewhere for a starting WR.

DET WR Kenny Golladay - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Chicago Bears

After catching exactly 2 passes in the five consecutive games he played, Kenny Golladay upped his total to 3 receptions last Sunday in the win against the Buccaneers. However, his longest grab went for just 7 yards and he totaled only 17 yards on the day. The rookie caught 2 passes for 52 yards in the win over the Bears in mid-November, but doesn’t make for a good fantasy start as he’s just not seeing enough looks.

DET WR Kenny Golladay - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

As consistent as the sun rising in the East, Kenny Golladay finishes a game with 2 receptions. In the loss to the Ravens last week, he collected 2 grabs for the fifth straight game he’s played in, totaling 44 yards. While the rookie isn’t receiving a ton of looks (13 since returning from a hamstring injury four contests ago), he is making the most of his opportunities with some deep catches. His 31-yard reception last week was the fifth time he’s caught a pass of at least 30 yards this season. He has not scored since his 2-TD performance in Week 1, so Golladay should only be started if you’re out of other options.

DET WR Kenny Golladay - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Baltimore Ravens

For the third consecutive game since returning from his hamstring injury, Kenny Golladay caught 2 passes from Matthew Stafford. On Thanksgiving, the rookie finished with 61 yards and has at least a 40-yard grab in each of the past three games. Stafford continues to spread the ball around with Golladay mainly being used as the deep threat. Baltimore allows just 190 yards per game through the air, so you’re likely better off starting another WR as you make your playoff push.

DET WR Kenny Golladay - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Minnesota Vikings

With Matthew Stafford throwing for 299 yards last week in the win at Chicago, Kenny Golladay collected 2 receptions for 52 yards. In his two games since being activated from a hamstring injury, he’s caught 4 passes for 116 yards, with 2 of those receptions accounting for 90 of the yards. Stafford continues to spread the ball around, limiting the rookie’s looks. Golladay makes for, at best, a FLEX start on Thursday against the league’s No. 11 ranked pass defense.
