Carolina allows the 21st-most adjusted PPR points to WRs (30.3) and ranked 18th in our pass defense power rankings heading into Week 6. Atlanta allows the eighth-most PPR points to WRs, but its fourth-ranked pass defense power makes Week 8 tougher than it looks. Chicago (23rd) in Week 9 is the best spot of the three. Godwin is a WR4 who becomes a flex option if Mayfield returns.
