Derek Lofland FantasyPros | The Saints were 27th against fantasy wide receivers last year, Godwin figures to have WR1 value in a likely shootout, especially with Mike Evans likely on a snap count. | |
Site Rankings FullTime Fantasy | Can't go much higher than this. | |
Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | It's been rumored in camp that Godwin looks good, but that he's lacking something. He also missed a few practices throughout training camp, so it's something worth monitoring early in the season. The Saints cornerback unit is extremely good, especially since they added Janoris Jenkins at the end of the season. He'll replace the inconsistent Eli Apple opposite Marshon Lattimore. It's a tougher matchup than last year when Godwin hung 7/125/2 on them in Week 5, then 3/47/1 in Week 11. The Saints may not decide to shadow Mike Evans with Lattimore anymore considering Godwin's success, though Jenkins surely changes things. The combination of Lattimore and Jenkins allowed 87-for-159 passing in their coverage for 1,205 yards and seven touchdowns while intercepting six passes. That amounts to a QB Rating below 80. It is worth noting that Godwin's big game last year came while in New Orleans, but it was also before Jenkins was there. You're going to start Godwin in season-long leagues as a WR2 at worst, but it's not a week to feel very confident in cash games. I do like him better than Evans in tournaments, though. | |
Jacob Wayne Lineups | Mike Evans is dealing with a hamstring injury, and even if he is able to get on the field on Sunday, he will likely be somewhat limited. That should result in a ton of targets for Chris Godwin against the Saints' defense which he scored 3 touchdowns on last season. Tom Brady is going to help Godwin's efficiency and he should produce some monster numbers in this game that has one of the highest over/under totals on the week. | |
Isaiah Sirois FantasyPros | Cooks is a game-time decision tonight. He has an injured quadricep, and while he's arguably the Texans' new WR1, I think he's a pass for me this evening. The Texans have enough receiving talent elsewhere -- Randall Cobb, Will Fuller, Darren Fells, Duke Johnson -- that I think they'll be able to put him in a limited role. I don't think that Cooks will be able to get the separation he needs tonight, so I would look elsewhere for wide receiver help. | |
Kyle Yates FantasyPros | The Saints and Bucs could very easily hit the over on the Vegas line this week, which means that you should invest in the top options from a fantasy perspective. As long as Godwin's fully healthy, which all reports are that he seems good to go, he's going to be a must-start option. Plug him into your lineup and don't think twice about it. | |
Kevin Wheeler The Draft Zone | Cooks (quad) did not practice Tuesday. This is a downgrade after being limited in Monday's practice. It's a concern with the Texans kicking off in two days. Wednesday's injury report is crucial for Cooks, as another "DNP" would put him on the wrong side of questionable against the Chiefs. @Rotoworld |
