TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Carolina Panthers

UPDATE: Godwin has officially been ruled out for Week 2.

Chris Godwin had a strong debut for the Bucs, finishing 6-79 on seven targets. He and Scott Miller saw most of the action as Mike Evans struggled (one reception) facing Marshon Lattimore while injured. Godwin is a question mark heading into Week 2 as he's missed practice this week with a concussion. If he does play, Godwin will be a strong WR1 play in a solid matchup against the Panthers. If he's inactive, Scott Miller will receive a big boost and should be viewed as a WR3 play.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New Orleans Saints

Chris Godwin should be on pace for a great 2020 with Tom Brady throwing him passes. He had a breakout 2019 season, and there's no reason for him to slow down now. He could see an increase in targets in Week 1 as his co-star Mike Evans is dealing with a hamstring injury, and has missed practice this week. While Godwin will be facing a good Saints defense, it's worth noting he played really well against New Orleans last year. In his two games vs. the Saints, he finished 7-125-2 and 3-47-1. He'll be a strong WR1 play whether Evans plays or doesn't.

TB WR Chris Godwin - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Nearly everyone had Chris Godwin as a breakout candidate heading into 2019, and he delivered. Godwin finished 86-1333-9 on 120 targets in 14 games played, finishing as the No. 2 WR (half-PPR). Godwin excelled in the slot as he was fifth in the league in picking up first downs last season. He was second (per PFF) in contested-catch percentage (66.67%), behind only Michael Thomas. Godwin is a high-powered offense, and his role shouldn’t change much from what we saw a year ago.

Fantasy Downside
There’s always a bit of worry when a team switches quarterbacks, even if it’s Tom Brady. The Buccaneers also added another receiving threat in Rob Gronkowski who could steal some of those shorter passes away. The Bucs also had the fourth-highest pass attempts of all teams last season, mostly due to Jameis Winston’s turnovers keeping opponents in games. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Tampa’s pass attempts go down, therefore leading to fewer overall targets.

2020 Bottom Line
Godwin is an exceptional talent, and should be viewed easily as a top 10 receiver and arguably as a top five. He was very efficient last season, finishing second in fantasy points scored despite being 20th in targets. It’s hard to see him improving on what he did last season, but that’s fine because last season worked. We expect similar production from Godwin in 2020, putting him near the top five wideouts.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Detroit Lions

Chris Godwin finished 7-91 last week as he became the main target after Mike Evans suffered what appeared to be a season-ending injury. The Bucs haven't confirmed it yet, but it seems ridiculous to put Evans out there with the season nearly over, and their playoff chances dead. We don't expect this will change much for Godwin. He was already a WR1, but maybe now he'll get a few more extra targets. He gets a great matchup against the Lions this week who have allowed the second-most receiving yards to wideouts over the past four weeks. Godwin is a must-start player in Week 15.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Chris Godwin finished 4-50 on six targets last week as the Bucs didn't need to pass the ball as much after building a big lead. Aside from his Week 12 performance, Godwin hasn't been quite as dominant as he was earlier in the season, but he's still one of the league's best receiving threats. He gets a great matchup this week against the Colts who have allowed the fourth-most receiving yards, and the third-most receiving touchdowns to wideouts over the past four weeks. Godwin's upside makes him an easy WR1 in Week 14.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Chris Godwin exploded last week, finishing 7-184-2 as he continues to prove the theory correct that only one of Godwin or Mike Evans can have a breakout game each week. The receiving duo has been great this season, as they both have topped 1,000 receiving yards already. Godwin has been slightly more productive overall with eight more catches, 28 more yards and two more touchdowns. He's too good to even consider benching, and should be viewed as a must-start WR1 in a decent matchup against the Jaguars in Week 13.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Atlanta Falcons

Chris Godwin finished with a solid 3-47-1 last week, scoring his seventh touchdown of the season. He's fourth in the league in receiving yards per game (88.7), so it's safe to say he's having a really good season. He should have another productive game in Week 12 as he faces a Falcons defense that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to receivers. He should be viewed as a must-start WR1.
