Peter Bukowski· Jun 2, 2026
Peter took Matthew Golden, Edgerrin ("Adrian") Cooper and Marshawn Lloyd as breakout candidates, projecting Golden for roughly 45-60 catches, 800 yards and six touchdowns, and Lloyd as at least the Packers' No. 2 running back.
“So I think Matthew Golden is gonna get 70 plus targets in this offense this year.”
