Bottom Line

Godwin took a backseat to Mike Evans and Rachaad White last season, but he still was a solid WR3.

He enters a contract year in another new offense and should be a better fit in the new passing attack.

He is often falling into WR4 territory in drafts, but we are much higher on him as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 this season.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Godwin posted a season-long stat line of 83 catches for 1,024 yards and two TDs on 130 targets.
  • His per-game numbers were a step down from his career averages:
    • 7.65 targets (7.25)
    • 4.88 receptions (5.09)
    • 60.2 yards (64.3)
    • 0.12 TDs (0.33)
  • Godwin ranked as the WR29 in PPR fantasy points and WR37 in points per game.
  • He missed no games due to injury for the first time since 2018.
  • Godwin had only one top-12 finish. He had eight WR37 or worse finishes.
  • His target share (23.8%) was the highest of his career.
  • Among 89 WRs with 45+ targets, Godwin ranked:
    • 26th in Pro Football Focus receiving grade
    • 35th in yards per route run (2.33)
    • 63rd in average target depth (10.3)
    • 35th in percentage of team air yards (25.6%)

What to Expect in 2024

  • Godwin enters his third season under HC Todd Bowles
  • New OC Liam Coen spent last year as the Kentucky OC after coordinating the Rams in 2022.
    • In 2022, the Rams ranked 24th with 531 pass attempts.
  • The Buccaneers are expected to take a slight step backward. They are tied for second in the NFC South with a 7.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Buccaneers have the 21st-highest odds to win the Super Bowl at +5500 on most sportsbooks, second-best in the division.
  • Godwin enters his eighth season at 28 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average WR with Godwin’s career produces at 96% of peak value at age-28.
  • Godwin is a strong candidate for positive TD regression this season. He ranked 27th among WRs with 6.2 expected receiving TDs but just 73rd with two actual TDs.

Chris Godwin, WR TB

Chris Godwin expected to play Week 15

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (knee) is expected to play vs. the Packers today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. HC Todd Bowles labeled Godwin a game-time decision, but he was a full participant in Friday’s practice. It's tough to know what that means for Godwin's health today. Consider him a slightly riskier WR3 play than usual.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Packers. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, but HC Todd Bowles labeled him a game-time decision. We’ll get Tampa Bay’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Godwin will carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he plays through the knee issue.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of last week's win fine, so we're guessing that this was more of a day off for the veteran. We'll see if Godwin gets back on the practice field tomorrow.

ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Bucs WR Chris Godwin (neck) "likely" to play vs. the Panthers today. "But the team needs to make sure he feels OK in pre-game warmups first," Schefter adds. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport had a similar report, saying Godwin "plans to play Sunday vs. Carolina as long as he wakes up feeling good." That's a 4:05 pm ET kickoff, so we won't get the Bucs' inactives until a little after 2:30. If you're hoping to use Godwin today, it'd be wise to have another late-game option rostered just in case Godwin ends up sitting.
