Packers select wide receiver Matthew Golden with No. 23 pick in NFL draft

The Green Bay Packers did something in the first round of the NFL draft that they hadn’t done since 2002

APRIL 25, 2025 • Associated Press

No catches in wild-card loss Heath failed to record a single reception on four targets in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card loss to the Eagles.

Impact Heath played 38 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. With Christian Watson (knee) sidelined and both Romeo Doubs (concussion) and Jayden Reed (shoulder) picking up injuries in the contest, Heath was needed to fill in at wide receiver position. With that said, the 24-year-old wasn't able to do anything against the Eagles' formidable defense as Green Bay's offense struggled throughout the game. Heath finished the 2024 campaign with just 10 grabs for 97 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets across 13 contests. The Mississippi product is under contract for the 2025 season before becoming a restricted free agent in 2026. Heath will continue to face competition for targets in Green Bay's young receiver corps with Reed, Doubs, Watson and Dontayvian Wicks all under contract next season.

Hauls in three passes Heath was targeted five times and caught three passes for 53 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.

Impact Heath was busier than usual with Romeo Doubs (illness) sitting out and Christian Watson (knee) leaving the game early, and he wound up setting a new career high in the receiving yards column. Doubs will presumably return for Green Bay's postseason opener, but Watson will not, so Heath could have more opportunities to contribute during the playoffs.

Malik Heath makes HUGE catch | Packers vs. Bears Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis completes a 41-yard pass to WR Malik Heath during Sunday's Week 18 game at Lambeau Field.

Nabs second TD of season Heath played 15 of the Packers' 63 snaps on offense and reeled in his lone target for a three-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Heath had been a healthy inactive for the Packers' previous two contests, but he suited up as the team's No. 5 receiver in Week 17 while Christian Watson (knee) was sidelined. The 24-year-old cashed in on his lone target with his second touchdown of the season, but Heath is still likely to see his snap count take a hit in Week 18 versus the Bears if Watson is able to return to action.

Suiting up sans Watson Heath is active for Sunday's Week 17 matchup versus Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Heath didn't play either of the past two weeks, but he's active Sunday with Christian Watson (knee) unable to suit up. Heath may not see many opportunities on offense, though, as he's likely fifth in the pecking order among healthy Packers wideouts. The 24-year-old has six catches for 41 yards and a touchdown over 11 contests on the campaign.

Inactive for SNF Heath (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks.

Impact With Romeo Doubs (concussion) back in the lineup, Heath is the odd man out in the Packers' wide receiver corps, as Bo Melton is up as the fifth wideout. Sunday marks the third time Heath is inactive this season. He has six catches for 41 yards and one touchdown on seven targets in 2024.

Hauls in touchdown pass Heath was targeted twice and had two receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.

Impact Heath capitalized on the lopsided score and the departure of Romeo Doubs (concussion) in the third quarter to record both his first reception since Week 5 and his first touchdown of the season. He will bump up the pecking order if Doubs is unable to play Thursday against the Dolphins, but even in that scenario he would be facing a stingy pass defense as the fifth option at his position.

Jordan Love to Malik Heath TOUCHDOWN | Packers vs. 49ers Green Bay Packers WR Malik Heath catches a 3-yard touchdown pass from QB Jordan Love during Sunday's Week 12 game at Lambeau Field.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • PACKERS.COM

Moves up pecking order Heath was targeted three times and had two receptions for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.

Impact The Packers were down a pair of receivers in Week 5, and the biggest beneficiary was Heath, who was credited with a start and played just as many snaps as fellow wideouts Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks. Heath will be behind both players as well as Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs when are all available, but the snap distribution suggests he -- and not Bo Melton -- is the fifth option at his position on the depth chart.

Moves up pecking order Heath was targeted three times and had two receptions for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.

Impact The Packers were down a pair of wideouts in Week 5 and the biggest beneficiary was Heath, who got the start and played just as many snaps as Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks. Heath will be behind both players, as well as Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (suspension), when the position group is at full strength, but he -- and not Bo Melton -- is the No. 5 option at wide receiver for the Packers.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hauls in two passes Heath was targeted twice and had two receptions for 12 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Heath stepped in after fellow wideout Christian Watson (ankle) left Sunday's contest and picked up both his first two targets and catches of the season. Watson could miss time with his injury, and if he does Heath and Bo Melton will both be candidates to play an expanded role behind the trio of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up in season opener Heath (coach's decision) is inactive for Friday's Week 1 game in Brazil against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Heath had a nice preseason that helped him make Green Bay's 53-man roster, but he won't play in the team's first game of the regular season. That leaves the Packers with five active receivers for the contest -- Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton. Heath may need an injury to a wideout (or two) ahead of him in the pecking order to see regular offensive snaps during the campaign.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leading receiver in preseason win Heath caught four of five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Ravens.

Impact Heath was one of several young wideouts to get promoted to the starting lineup in place of resting starters in Saturday's conclusion to exhibition play. The 24-year-old put a bow on a solid preseason as the team's leading receiver, giving him a legitimate shot to make Green Bay's roster or practice squad ahead of the regular season kicking off.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes two receptions Heath was targeted four times and caught two passes for 22 yards in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.

Impact Heath did not draw a target until the second quarter of Saturday's contest, but he wound up playing 38 snaps -- the second most among Packers wideouts. Heath entered training camp as Green Bay's presumptive sixth option at the wide receiver spot, but he is being pushed for the spot by fellow sophomore Grant DuBose, who led the team in receiving Saturday.

Makes 13 appearances as rookie Heath was targeted 24 times and had 15 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown over 13 games in the 2023 season.

Impact The undrafted rookie earned himself a roster spot and hung onto it all season, and although he did not do a lot on the stat sheet he did have a few moments. He could have been more involved if Green Bay did not have a glut of productive receivers, but alas he finished his first season sixth on the depth chart at his position. All five wideouts ahead of him are set to return in 2024, but he figures to remain part of the mix.

JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tacks on three receptions Heath was targeted four times and caught three passes for nine yards in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Bears.

Impact Heath opened Sunday's contest as the fifth option at the wideout spot, and he finished it fourth with fellow wideout Romeo Doubs (chest) exiting early. Heath caught at least one pass in the final eight games of the regular season, but he will remain primarily a depth piece when the playoffs get underway.

Hauls in first touchdown pass Heath was targeted twice and caught one pass for six yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-22 loss to the Giants.

Impact Heath nearly notched his first touchdown on the penultimate play the Packers ran in Monday's contest, and he wound up reaching the end zone for the first time as a professional just one play later. Heath did not do a lot in Monday's game, but he did play his most snaps in a game since Week 1, and he could play an expanded role again in Week 15 with at least a couple of his fellow wideouts injured.
