Draft note

by John Paulsen

In his seventh season, Chris Godwin turned 130 targets into 83 catches, 1,024 yards, and two touchdowns. The Bucs played him mostly outside (~38% slot) after he ran 70%+ of his routes out of the slot in both 2021 (WR12) and 2022 (WR20). They are reportedly moving him back to the slot this season, which is good news. Last year, Godwin averaged 1.71 fantasy points per slot target versus just 1.03 fantasy points per non-slot target, so moving back to the slot should boost his production at this point in his career. He may also benefit from positive touchdown regression as he only caught two touchdowns with an expectation of 5.3 touchdowns. Keep in mind that those top-20 fantasy finishes came with Tom Brady at quarterback, and the team’s passing pie as a whole is much smaller with Baker Mayfield under center. With Mayfield, Godwin looks like more of a WR3 than the fantasy WR2 he was with Brady.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin to see increased usage out of the slot

Bucs have said they’ll use Chris Godwin in the slot, after shifting him outside last year with an eye on avoiding injuries. It’s the role Cooper Kupp had with the Rams when Coen was there.

Related Players: Mike Evans, Trey Palmer, Jalen McMillan

Fantasy Impact:

Godwin had been around the 70% slot range over the previous three seasons before logging only 37% of his snaps from inside last year. If he returns to that role in 2024, we might not see a ton from rookie Jalen McMillan to begin the season. Through four years at Washington, McMillan lined up in the slot nearly two-thirds of the time, including a 92% rate in '22.

Godwin's explosive games have lessened recently, but he still makes an intriguing low-end WR3 in fantasy.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs New Orleans Saints

Chris Godwin led the Bucs in targets last week with 10, finishing 6-78. It was a pretty standard game for Godwin who has become a safe bet to catch 5+ passes for 50+ yards most weeks. Godwin has only scored two touchdowns all season, and one of those scores came on a rare rushing opportunity. This week he faces the Saints (14th aFPA), a team he had success against earlier in the year with a 8-114 stat line. Godwin can be viewed as a solid WR2 option in Week 17 with a bump in full PPR formats.
