Chris Godwin (ankle) officially placed on IR

Chris Godwin (ankle) has officially been placed on injured reserve and is expected to be out for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Godwin suffered an ankle injury in Week 7, and the team has officially placed him on injured reserve. That means that he will be out for the next four weeks at the very least, but the expectation is that he will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. This is a tough blow for fantasy managers, as he was having an electric season before going down. Jalen McMillan and Cade Otton will both see more opportunities in his absence.

Chris Godwin to have MRI before undergoing surgery

Chris Godwin is scheduled to receive an MRI on Tuesday morning after a significant ankle injury on Monday night. He will then have surgery that is expected to be season-ending.

Fantasy Impact

The MRI should give some indication of what the surgeons are working with when they operate on Godwin. While it is not explicitly confirmed the surgery will be season-ending, all indications point that way. Once Mike Evans returns from his hamstring injury, he will take over as the clear WR1 in the offense, but in the meantime, Sterling Shepherd, Trey Palmer, and Jalen McMillan are expected to see more playing time.

Chris Godwin believed to have suffered dislocated ankle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin is feared to have suffered a dislocated ankle in the final seconds of the Buccaneers’ Week 7 Monday night loss.

Fantasy Impact

Godwin was carted off the field after suffering an apparent serious injury in the final minute of the game. He had an air cast on his leg, and initial fears regarding his injury likely indicate it could be a season-ending ailment. He will likely undergo further testing on Tuesday, but for now, the assumption is that he will be out for an extended time. He had seven catches for 65 yards before the injury and has 50 catches for 576 yards this season through seven games. Mike Evans will continue to be the top target, and WRs Sterling Shepard, Trey Palmer and rookie Jalen McMillan will be looked at to step up in his absence.

Chris Godwin carted off the field Monday

Chris Godwin was carted off the field late in Monday's game against the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

With less than a minute left and the game essentially over, Godwin suffered a serious enough injury to where ESPN would not show the replay. His season is likely over with a report likely confirming his status on Tuesday.

Chris Godwin dominant in Week 6 win

Chris Godwin caught 11-of-13 targets for 125 yards and two touchdowns in a 51-27 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact

Godwin was absolutely dominant in Sunday's game. He led the team in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns on the day, and he was a big reason why Tampa Bay's offense looked unstoppable against their divisional rival. He is having a really good season so far and remains a must-start fantasy option for the foreseeable future.
