News: 8 hours agoGodwin caught all four of his targets for 40 yards in the Bucs' 33-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He added three rushing yards on one carry.

Spin: Godwin's 32 routes on Baker Mayfield's 36 dropbacks were second on the team behind Emeka Egbuka, who ran 33 routes, and Godwin was lined up in the slot 54.3 percent of the time, while Egbuka and Ted Hurst mainly played on the outside. Godwin was targeted just four times, however, finishing fourth on the team. Now 30 years old with multiple serious lower-body injuries in his career, it's fair to wonder how much explosiveness Godwin has left. He's a low-floor WR3/4 in fantasy ahead of next Sunday's date with the Browns.

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.
