# Peter Bukowski: 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. **Claimed:** Jun 2, 2026 **Pundit:** Peter Bukowski — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/peter-bukowski **Outlet:** Locked On Packers (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/locked-on-packers-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/5b095f/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/fffb8e40-f0de-47f1-97e3-cf2e2fd0ffe9/episodes/d9036242-3841-4ca0-a074-c467145420ae/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=fffb8e40-f0de-47f1-97e3-cf2e2fd0ffe9&awEpisodeId=d9036242-3841-4ca0-a074-c467145420ae&feed=FkBDUQLt 4 checkable claims — 3 player season numbers and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1. > So I think Matthew Golden is gonna get 70 plus targets in this offense this year. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **MarShawn Lloyd to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: MarShawn Lloyd, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Matthew Golden to record 6 receiving tds** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - “And I think that's gonna translate to, you know, between forty five and sixty catches and 800 yards and six touchdowns or something like that.” - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Matthew Golden to record 800 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - MarShawn Lloyd — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/marshawn-lloyd - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Matthew Golden — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/matthew-golden ## What others said about the same people - Bill Huber on Green Bay Packers: Huber argues Green Bay has no excuses left and will beat New England in Foxborough, and expects Christian Watson to play despite their rib injury.
