Matthew Golden: active for Thursday night against Carolina

THE FACT. Packers receiver Matthew Golden is active for Thursday night's home game against Carolina despite a questionable tag for shoulder and foot injuries, per Green Bay's official inactives post and NBC Sports' Charean Williams. He had not practiced Monday or Tuesday and was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, according to CBS Sports' Week 8 injury report.

THE VERDICT. Redraft: start him. Active is active, and a questionable receiver who clears on a short week beats whatever is sitting on your bench from the Sunday slate. DFS: playable, and the injury tag should hold his ownership down relative to his ceiling. Watch his snap share in the first quarter, because a practice week this light can still mean a rotational night, and if you own a strong full-week alternative that is the safer floor. Dynasty: no change to his outlook.
