It’s been a frustrating season for Chris Godwin Jr., who returned from last year’s gruesome injury in Week 4 only to suffer a fibula injury the very next game. His road to recovery appears to be nearing completion, however, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get set to visit the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night.
Godwin is listed as questionable for the big Week 12 NFC showdown, but the veteran wideout is expected to play, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday night. His presence should provide a big boost for a banged up Bucs offense that’s still without Mike Evans, who remains on IR.
Even though Godwin is back, he’ll likely be on some sort of pitch count as the Bucs plan to be mindful about his workload, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Should I start Chris Godwin in fantasy?
Godwin shouldn’t be used as anything more than a flex option in Week 12. Though he likely has the ceiling of a WR2, the veteran is unlikely to hit that potential in his first game back as long as the Bucs have him on a snap count. The likelihood of a high-scoring game against the tough Rams increases his chances of having an impact, but Godwin shouldn’t be trusted as a top fantasy WR option so soon.
