Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin looked to be the top option for this offense during the month of December. However, Godwin quickly ceded his role as top wideout to Mike Evans in the playoffs. On Sunday, Godwin hauled in four of his eight targets for 40 yards in the loss to the Detroit Lions. It was a fitting end for Godwin who was non-explosive throughout most of the season. He managed to finish his season with 83 receptions for over 1,000 receiving yards, but only found the end zone twice. Evans is a free agent this offseason, which means Godwin could end up as the No. 1 option for Tampa Bay next season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has stepped up during the second half of the season. In fact, Godwin has registered 50 receiving yards or more in five of his last six games. Throughout most of the first half of the season, Godwin was playing second fiddle to fellow wideout Mike Evans. Now, Godwin is actually getting more involved in the offense. Last week, Godwin hauled in four of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Godwin has surprisingly found the end zone in two of his last three games. He has played well enough lately that the Bucs should continue to look his way during this weekend's game against the Detroit Lions.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) returned to a limited practice session on Thursday after he was deemed a non-participant on Wednesday. Godwin was most likely just being rested in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, so he should be fully ready to go for Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Detroit Lions in a great matchup. The 27-year-old took a back seat to teammate Mike Evans over the majority of the 2023 regular season, but he stood out in Monday night's wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles, catching four of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the 32-9 rout. The Lions defense allowed the third-most half-PPR fantasy points to opposing receivers during the regular season, so Godwin is a solid DFS target at his current $6,300 DraftKings salary for this weekend's slate.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) did not take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. The Buccaneers are most likely giving Godwin some extra rest to begin the practice week. If the 27-year-old is still sidelined for Thursday's practice, then we'll be a bit more worried about his knee injury heading into Sunday's Divisional Round playoff game versus the Detroit Lions. He was able to catch four of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. If he plays, Godwin will have another great matchup in which to do damage in the dome in Detroit against a suspect secondary in a game that could feature plenty of points on both sides.
Jan 17, 2024 4:29 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin caught four of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. It wasn't Godwin's most productive game of the year, but he delivered in the end and put the final touchdown on the board to put the defending NFC Champions away. The 27-year-old will have a chance at a monster game in the NFC Divisional Round against the Detroit Lions, who have surrendered the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Jan 16, 2024 9:45 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had a slow start to the season, but picked it up towards the end of the regular season. The veteran wideout saw 10 or more targets in three of his last five games. Godwin finished his regular season with 1,024 receiving yards, which is one yard more than his previous campaign. However, Godwin was only able to find the end zone twice through the air, which is what hurt his fantasy value. The expectation is that the Bucs are going to continue attacking through the air against the shaky Philadelphia Eagles secondary on Monday. The lack of scoring makes Godwin less of an appealing DFS option, but he should still stay involved in the passing game.
Jan 12, 2024 10:32 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has turned it up a notch over the last month or so. The veteran wideout was quiet through the first half of the season, but has recorded 25 receptions over his last four games. On Sunday, Godwin hauled in six of his seven targets for 51 yards in the win over the Carolina Panthers. Godwin made the most of his chances in a game where quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs, ankle) struggled to get the ball to his receivers. Godwin finished the day as the Bucs' leading receiver and will be crucial to this team's postseason success.
Jan 7, 2024 7:57 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin was able to find the end zone for only the second time this season during last weekend's loss to the New Orleans Saints. Over the last four games, Godwin has seen a much larger target share in this offense. Godwin has seen 10 or more targets in three of his last four games. This weekend, Godwin will get a chance to keep the good times rolling against the Carolina Panthers. Last meeting, Godwin posted a dud versus the Panthers defense. Things should go better for Godwin this time around especially with how well he has been playing lately. DFS players should take a look at Godwin as a somewhat cheap wideout who should see a heavy usage.
Jan 4, 2024 5:30 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin was held in check throughout most of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran wideout didn't make much of an impact during the half, but was able to make some noise after halftime. Godwin was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy value with a 47-yard touchdown to help keep the Bucs in the game. He finished his day by hauling in three of his five targets for 81 yards and a score in the loss. The expectation is that Godwin should be able to have success against the shaky Carolina Panthers defense next week. Godwin should rank as a high-end WR3 for that game.
Dec 31, 2023 8:05 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been more involved in the offense over the last few weeks. In fact, Godwin has seen 10 targets or more in each of the last three games. The hope is that the Bucs continue to heavily involve Godwin in the offense heading into Week 17. The biggest problem for Godwin has been finding the end zone as he has only one touchdown this season. It won't get any easier for Godwin against the New Orleans Saints defense. A unit that has allowed the second-fewest touchdowns to opposing wideouts this season. Godwin should be able to hold WR3 value in PPR formats, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect much more than that.
Dec 30, 2023 6:02 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) did not participate during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed as Godwin should be fine for this weekend. This is likely just the Bucs limiting Godwin due to his lingering knee injury. The expectation is that Godwin is going to be fine for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Godwin has seen significant involvement in the offense over the last few weeks. He should be on the WR3 radar for this upcoming Week 17 matchup.
Dec 28, 2023 9:54 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin remained heavily involved in the passing attack once again this week. Godwin was outshined by Mike Evans' two-touchdown performance on Sunday. Despite that, Godwin still had a pretty decent day on the field. He hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 78 yards in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 11 targets was a team-high, which is nice to see Godwin getting a high volume of targets. This is now three straight games that Godwin has seen 10 or more targets in a single game. He's a solid option in PPR formats, but remains a WR3 in most leagues for next week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Dec 24, 2023 10:06 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Godwin was limited on Wednesday and sat out of Thursday's practice. However, Godwin was a full participant during Friday's practice, so he should be fine for this weekend. It appears the Bucs were just limiting his reps to keep him fresh for this game. Godwin is coming off an explosive 155-yard performance in Week 15. He should be a solid WR3 for this game against the shaky Jags secondary.
Dec 22, 2023 6:55 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) was not seen with the rest of the team during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Godwin did not practice on Wednesday, either, so at the very least he'll likely be questionable like he was going into the Week 15 win over the Green Bay Packers. He managed to practice in full last Friday, though, and he suited up on Sunday on his way to only his second 100-yard game of the year. The 27-year-old has another nice matchup on tap this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's able to play. Check back on his official Week 16 status on Friday. If Godwin is limited at all or out this weekend, it will open up a spot for rookie Trey Palmer to serve as Tampa's No. 2 receiver behind target hog Mike Evans.
Dec 21, 2023 12:06 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) is on the Week 16 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Wednesday. Godwin dealt with a knee injury last week but managed to play in the Week 15 win over the Green Bay Packers for what was his best game of the season. He caught a season-high 10 passes on a season-high-tying 12 targets for a season-high 155 yards receiving. Barring a setback with his knee this week, the 27-year-old will have a fine opportunity to keep things rolling in Week 16 against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has been a top-10 matchup for opposing wideouts in 2023. After seeing double-digit targets just twice in the first 12 games this year, Godwin has seen a combined 23 targets the last two games.
Dec 20, 2023 7:08 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) was questionable coming into this game, but did suit up and played excellent on Sunday. The veteran wideout hauled in 10 of his 12 targets for 155 yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers. Godwin had only one 100-yard performance heading into this game. He made easy work of the Packers defense as he caught nearly everything thrown his way. Fantasy managers can be hopeful for another strong performance next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. A defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Godwin should be a trustworthy WR3 for that game.
Dec 17, 2023 8:31 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee), who was listed as questionable for Sunday's game, is officially active and will play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 at Lambeau Field. The writing was on the wall for Godwin to play this weekend when he was able to practice in full on Friday. The 27-year-old should be considered a middling WR3/flex play in the first round of the playoffs in most fantasy leagues this week. He has taken a pretty big fantasy hit in 2023 with quarterback Baker Mayfield running the offense and preferring to chuck it up to Mike Evans most of the time. Godwin only has one touchdown and one 100-yard performance this year, although he did draw 11 targets in the Week 14 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He's drawn double-digit targets in just three games this season.
Dec 17, 2023 11:49 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) is expected to suit up for the Week 15 meeting with the Packers. The veteran missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so things appeared to be heading in the wrong direction. Yet, he was a full participant in Friday's session, which is always a good sign concerning a player's availability. Godwin has played below expectations during the 2023-24 campaign, amassing 58 grabs for 659 yards and just one touchdown. However, despite a challenging matchup versus a Packers defense that has kept opposing wideouts in check this season, Godwin's upside can't be ignored. With this in mind, he has a place in all fantasy lineups in Week 15, assuming he officially sheds his questionable designation.
Dec 17, 2023 2:42 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) will be a game-time decision for the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the Packers in Green Bay. Godwin will officially receive a questionable designation on Friday's final injury report. The good news is Godwin was able to practice on Friday following two straight misses sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. The 27-year-old pass-catcher has had a low ceiling in 2023 while working with quarterback Baker Mayfield and enters Week 15 action as the WR39 in half-PPR scoring with 58 catches on 96 targets for 659 yards and only one touchdown in 13 games played. If he's active, Godwin will remain the No. 2 behind target hog Mike Evans and will be a low-ceiling WR3/flex against the Packers. If Godwin is inactive on Sunday, rookie Trey Palmer would see added opportunities in an elevated role for Tampa.
Dec 15, 2023 1:57 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Godwin is now in danger of missing the Week 15 contest this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers unless he's able to return to practice in at least a limited fashion on Friday. He has taken a clear back seat to Mike Evans as quarterback Baker Mayfield's top target in Tampa's offense this year and enters Week 15 play as the WR39 in half-PPR scoring this year. Godwin is now even more unattractive as a WR3/flex with the possibility that he might miss this weekend's game or be limited. If Godwin is unable to play against the Packers, rookie Trey Palmer would step into the No. 2 role and see more work alongside Evans.
