TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Chris Godwin was a big beneficiary of the Bucs' 51-point outing against the Saints last week. Godwin caught 11 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns in the 51-27 victory. He now faces a Ravens defense that is 31st in the league in passing yards allowed per game and is allowing the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. It's a very tasty matchup for Godwin.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New Orleans Saints

Another solid double-digit day for Chris Godwin in Week 5, catching five passes for 64 yards. He has at least five catches and 50 yards in all five games this season and should extend that streak Sunday against one of the easier matchups for wide receivers right now in New Orleans. The move to the slot has worked wonders for Godwin. He is one of the consistent receivers this fantasy season and a borderline WR1 now.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Atlanta Falcons

The move back to the slot has continued to pay dividends for Chris Godwin. Per NFL Next Gen Stats, Godwin is second in the league in receptions (17), receiving yards (228) and touchdowns (2) from the slot. He missed the end zone for the first time this season but should have a good chance to do so against the Falcons, assuming he continues to get plenty of targets each week -- he has nine in each of the last two weeks.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

New offensive coordinator Liam Coen has been a great boost for Chris Godwin and his use in the offense. Godwin has seen at least eight targets and has scored a touchdown in all three games this season. Godwin currently has more than double the receiving yards of Mike Evans (253-120) and has ten more targets (25-15). Godwin has worked his way into WR1 territory. The Eagles did just keep the Saints' offense very quiet but if Godwin is going to be given plenty of targets, there's no reason to think he can't at least find the end zone again this week.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Denver Broncos

New offensive coordinator Liam Coen has been a huge help for Chris Godwin with his move back to the slot. Godwin is already up to 15 catches this season and is averaging 100 yards per game. He may continue to see more targets this week with Mike Evans seeing Patrick Surtain II. Godwin is a borderline WR1 this week.

TB WR Chris Godwin - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Detroit Lions

Chris Godwin worked both inside and outside in his first game with new offensive coordinator Liam Coen. He ended up catching eight passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. One thing you'd like to see going forward is more deeper targets for Godwin. Per NFL Next Gen Stats, none of Godwin's eight targets came on passes of more than 10 yards. His average route depth was 6.8 yards, the third-shortest in a game of his career. The good news is he caught all of his targets. Always key for fantasy purposes. In fact, he led the Bucs in targets, receptions and receiving yards. Godwin is a solid WR2 this week against a Lions defense that was up and down against the Rams last week.

TB WR Chris Godwin - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Chris Godwin posted his third straight 1,000-yard season as Baker Mayfield helped boost the offense after replacing Tom Brady. Godwin is also expected to go back to seeing more work out of the slot, a similar role to that of Cooper Kupp now that Liam Coen is the offensive coordinator for the Bucs. Coen was once OC for the Rams.

Fantasy Downside

Godwin had just three total touchdowns last season and has six total touchdowns in the last two seasons. He also still has Mike Evans on the field, who built a strong connection with Mayfield last season.

2024 Bottom Line

Godwin is still quite fine in Tampa and moving back to the slot will help. But now, also given the touchdown output, Godwin is a WR3 with upside.
