Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin now out for year with torn ACL

Dec 20, 2021

The MRI came back on WR Chris Godwin and its worse than imagined. He’s out for the year with a torn ACL.

Fantasy Impact:

Godwin played on the franchise tag this past year and was set to be a free agent. Now, he's out for the season with a long road ahead, Rapoport reminds us. The good news for the Bucs is Evans' hamstring injury isn't supposed to be serious and the team expects to get Brown back for Week 16. According to the Pewter Report, though, HC Bruce Arians says they'll wait and see for how many snaps Brown can play. He's been out since Week 6. The plan is to see how he looks on Wednesday and Thursday and they estimate him for about 30-35 snaps in Week 16, according to the tweet. Perriman is more of a boom or bust, big-play threat, leaving the door open for Johnson and Miller to earn more snaps. The team is also hurt in the passing game with RBs Leonard Fournette and Giovani Bernard out.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
