Chris Godwin Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Zero catches in rain-soaked win Godwin failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.

Impact The Bucs attempted three total passes in Sunday's rain-soaked conditions, and Baker Mayfield didn't complete any of the three. Instead, Tampa Bay ran the ball 56 times and coasted to an easy win on the backs of Bucky Irving, Kenny Gainwell and the defense. Godwin will do battle with the Chicago secondary next Sunday, positioning the veteran wideout as a WR4 in fantasy. Emeka Egbuka (foot) could be back for that one after missing the past two contests.

Impact Godwin filled Egbuka's No. 1 role in a Week 7 rout of the Panthers, one where Baker Mayfield returned from a thumb injury but put the ball up only 11 times in a 43-13 win for Tampa Bay. As a result, Godwin ran just 12 routes, although he was targeted on 41.7 percent of them on his way to five targets and a 4-27-0 line. Considering Mayfield had just seven completions and 64 passing yards, Godwin's role was indeed that of the top option in the air attack, and Sunday's game against the Falcons is almost certain to involve appreciably higher passing volume for Tampa Bay.

Four catches in Week 7 win Godwin secured four of five targets for 27 yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Godwin served as the Buccaneers' de facto No. 1 receiver with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) sidelined, but as it turned out, the Buccaneers' air attack had minimal involvement in the lopsided win. With the returning Baker Mayfield attempting just 11 passes and mustering 64 passing yards, Godwin's numbers were actually perfectly acceptable within that context. Godwin has back-to-back four-catch efforts and at least that number in three of the past four games overall; however, with an average of just 9.0 yards per reception and zero touchdowns through seven games, the veteran receiver carries very modest fantasy value even withe Egbuka sidelined.

Another lackluster showing in Week 6 loss Godwin caught four of eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers.

Impact For the fifth time in six games to begin the season, Godwin caught either three or four passes, and all six of his yardage totals have been between 25 and 46 yards. The veteran wideout also has yet to score a TD in 2026, and his lackluster production has come whether Baker Mayfield (thumb) or rookie Jalon Daniels has been under center. Godwin will try to find a way to break out in Week 7 against the Panthers.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Four touches in Week 5 win Godwin secured all three targets for 37 yards and rushed once for three yards in the Buccaneers' 24-16 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Impact Godwin continued to fill a complementary role in the air attack on a night when Jalon Daniels threw for a modest 189 yards. The veteran wideout has been confirmed to a short-area option for the most part whether it's been Baker Mayfield (thumb) or Daniels under center, as Godwin has just a 19-179-0 line on the season and two receptions of 20-plus yards heading into a Week 6 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Six catches in Week 4 loss Godwin brought in six of seven targets for 31 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Godwin led the Buccaneers in receptions and targets while finishing second in receiving yards on the afternoon. The latter total was especially nothing to write home about, but it was the byproduct of rookie Jalon Daniels throwing for only 148 yards in his NFL debut. Godwin and the rest of the Buccaneers' air attack currently have fairly dim prospects while Daniels takes his initial lumps at the NFL level, and with Baker Mayfield unlikely to return before November per latest reports, the veteran receiver has limited fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

Logs full practice Wednesday Godwin (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact One day removed from logging no on-field work due to an ankle issue Wednesday, Godwin was able to handle every practice rep and thus is in the clear for Sunday's game against the Packers. Through three games this season, he has just a 10-111-0 line on 11 targets, and he'll now be on the receiving end of passes from undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels instead of Baker Mayfield for the next few weeks due to the latter's dislocated right thumb.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Thursday Godwin (ankle) is participating in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact It remains to be seen whether Godwin goes down as a full participant or limited participant Thursday, but any level of activity already marks a step in the right direction after the veteran wide receiver didn't take part in Wednesday's practice. Even if he alleviates any concerns about the ankle injury by Sunday's game against the Packers, Godwin will still be a risky fantasy option in the first start for undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels, who is filling in for Baker Mayfield (thumb).

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing due to ankle injury Godwin (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Godwin, who has played in all three games thus far, is now dealing with an ankle injury that prevented him from practicing Wednesday. This could compound Tampa Bay's passing game issues, as the Buccaneers will already be without Baker Mayfield for the next few weeks. The severity of Godwin's ankle injury has yet to be disclosed, so his practice status in the coming days will be telling.

Another muted performance Godwin gathered in three of four targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Godwin ranked third among Buccaneers wide receivers in snap share (62 percent) behind Ted Hurst (75 percent) and Emeka Egbuka (74 percent) in Week 3, resulting in his least productive performance of the season. On top of that, Godwin hasn't been targeted more than four times in a game so far on the campaign. With undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels set to take over Tampa Bay's offense for at least a few contests in the wake of Baker Mayfield's dislocated right thumb, Godwin doesn't have an ideal situation in which to build momentum from week to week.

Little production again in Week 2 Godwin caught all three of his targets for 46 yards in Tampa Bay's 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday. He added 12 rushing yards on one attempt.

Impact Godwin's three targets were seventh on the team and "good" for just an 8.8 percent share on a day Baker Mayfield attempted 34 passes. However, the veteran wide receiver's 37 routes were just one fewer than Emeka Egbuka for the team lead. After several lower-body injuries to this point in his career, it's becoming a concern that Godwin may just not have it anymore at 30.5 years old. Through two games, he has seven catches for 86 scoreless yards and 15 rushing yards.
