Chris Godwin Jr. Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 28th 2025, 6:19pm EDT

Chris Godwin was on pace for a career year in 2024 before an ankle dislocation ended his season in Week 7. Through seven games, he was the WR2 overall in fantasy, averaging 16.1 points per game with an NFL-leading 50 receptions and a 26% target share. Now locked into a three-year contract extension, Godwin remains a focal point in Tampa Bay's offense. While he faces more target competition in 2025 - with Mike Evans returning and first-round pick Emeka Egbuka drafted - Godwin's track record in the slot is elite. He's never finished worse than WR20 in PPG when playing at least 60% of his snaps inside. Even with a new OC, Godwin's volume and consistency make him a high-floor fantasy option when healthy, especially in PPR formats. However, fantasy managers will have to wait for Godwin, as he is not expected to return until October (until Week 5 or later). Interesting IR stash candidate.
