Chris Godwin
WR - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Chris Godwin caught 8-of-8 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders.
Fantasy Impact
Godwin had a fantastic season opener on Sunday. He led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards against the Commanders, and he was also able to get into the end zone. He could be in for a big year in PPR leagues if he continues to get targeted at this pace.
Chris Godwin caught his only target for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 24-14 win over the Dolphins Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Godwin made the most of limited snaps in the preseason finale, and should once again retain his role as a stable pass-catching option as part of a Tampa Bay offense looking for more explosiveness this upcoming season.
Chris Godwin has been standing out early on in camp and earning high praise from his teammate, Mike Evans.
Fantasy Impact
Godwin hasn’t repeated his magical 2019 season, which Evans referenced when talking about Godwin to the press. That’s not to say he’s been bad since then, he’s had three consecutive seasons of at least 127 targets, 83 catches, and 1023 receiving yards. His downfall has come from a lack of touchdowns. He’s had a combined 10 in three years, compared to Mike Evans's 13 scores just last year. It sounds like the coaching staff wants to get the ball to Godwin more this year in a variety of ways to maximize his skillset. He’s a great bargain in drafts right now given his upside.
Chris Godwin said he is looking forward to going back to largely playing in the slot this season.
Fantasy Impact
Godwin added that playing on the inside lets him be more creative and to be more involved in the run game without it being so obvious. He has recorded over 1,000 yards receiving each of the past three seasons, though he could have a season closer to his breakout 2019 season when he hauled in over 1,300 yards and nine touchdowns if he plays primarily in the slot all year.
Chris Godwin was limited at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
It is an upgrade for Godwin after he was sidelined on Wednesday. He should be good to play in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
