News: 2 days agoGodwin caught two of three targets for 16 yards and added a 12-yard rush during Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.

Spin: Godwin has now gone back-to-back weeks without reeling in at least three passes after having done so in each of Tampa Bay's first seven contests this year. The wide receiver has yet to exceed 50 receiving yards or reach the end zone over nine games so far during the 2026 campaign, and he will remain an unappealing fantasy option when the Buccaneers return to action in Week 11 against the Lions.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Godwin is on the comeback trail after injuries have limited him to 16 games during the past two seasons. In 2025, he appeared in nine games and reached 11 fantasy points only twice. It seems like a long time ago, Godwin was second among receivers in fantasy points in 2024 when he suffered a severe ankle injury. He wasn't nearly as effective when he was on the field last season, but he's now more than a full year recovered from the injury and has less target competition with Mike Evans no longer on the roster. Entering his age-30 season, Godwin's days as a fantasy WR1 may be over, but with Emeka Egbuka as his only competition to lead the team in targets, he certainly has a path to flex numbers.
