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.
