Chris Godwin Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler cites “multiple sources” saying the Buccaneers have "high interest" in re-signing WR Chris Godwin. Godwin, of course, is coming off a Week 15 ACL tear. Yet he's reportedly viewed as the Lavonte David of Tampa Bay’s offense — “the tough and physical player who sets a tone and embodies team culture.” In 2021, Godwin set career highs in targets (128) and catches (98), doing so in 14 games. While the ACL might keep his price down a bit, the 25-year-old certainly won't be cheap. Free agency officially opens up on March 16th.

The MRI on Bucs WR Chris Godwin's right knee revealed a torn ACL, according to multiple reports. The initial belief was that Godwin had just a sprained MCL and would be back for the playoffs. Now he's out for the rest of the regular season and the postseason. It's especially bad timing for Godwin, who played this season on the franchise tag and is set to hit free agency in March. We'll see where he ends up signing and how his rehab progresses. He's not a lock to be ready for Week 1.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with an MCL sprain suffered in Sunday night's loss to the Saints, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Tampa expects to get Godwin back for the playoffs. We'll see whether WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is able to play vs. the Panthers this weekend, but WR Antonio Brown's return comes at a perfect time.

The Bucs believe WR Chris Godwin is dealing with a sprained MCL, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Godwin is scheduled for additional testing on Monday. "He’ll miss time, with an MRI to determine when he’s back," Rapoport adds. It sounds like we'll get a more concrete timeline for Godwin's return tomorrow, but fantasy owners should plan on being without him at least for Week 16.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin hurt his right knee in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Saints. This looked bad when it happened, but Godwin was able to walk off the field under his own power and never went to the locker room. He's officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Godwin has been ruled out for the game.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Bruce Arians said afterward that Brown "probably" won't play vs. the Falcons this weekend. It's disappointing news after Arians said last week that he was "hopeful" to get Brown back for this one. Brown should stay stashed on fantasy benches as we continue to monitor his rehab. His absence is good news for Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (foot) is active for today’s game vs. Washington. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but the news on Godwin has been positive for the past 24 hours. He still comes with elevated risk in Week 10 fantasy lineups. But there’s also big upside here vs. the league’s worst WR defense.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (foot) is expected to play vs. Washington today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That matches The Athletic's Greg Auman's report from Saturday. The question remains how big an issue that foot will be. Godwin got in just 1 limited practice this week despite having the bye week to heal up.

The Bucs expect to have WR Chris Godwin (foot) for Sunday's game against Washington, according to The Athletic's Greg Auman. Godwin only got in a limited practice on Friday after hurting his foot in Tampa's last game, prior to the Week 9 bye. We'll look for additional updates on his status tomorrow morning. There's still a chance that he's limited and/or suffers an in-game setback. The matchup is sweet, though, vs. the 32nd-ranked WR defense.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. Washington. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. "We'll see how he is tomorrow," HC Bruce Arians said Friday. "He looked OK today but we'll see how he is tomorrow. ... [He did] just enough to look OK. We'll see how he is." Arians labeled Godwin a game-time decision. The good news is that we’ll get his game status around 11:30 am ET. Godwin will obviously carry elevated risk if he ends up active. If not, WR Tyler Johnson will be a viable Week 10 spot starter.

Bucs HC Bruce Arians labeled WR Chris Godwin a game-time decision with his foot injury. Arians also revealed that Godwin hurt the foot on a tackle in the loss to the Saints prior to the Week 9 bye. Godwin didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and the Tampa media didn't see him out there for the start of Friday's practice. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report later today.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin (foot) missed practice again on Thursday. He's in real danger of missing Sunday's game vs. Washington. We'll see if Godwin practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury. HC Bruce Arians didn't provide any other details, only saying that they'll need to "wait and see" on Godwin's Week 10 status. Tampa notably signed WR Breshad Perriman to the practice squad earlier this week after he spent 2019 with the team. We'll get another update on Godwin on Thursday.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. HC Bruce Arians suggested earlier this week that Brown isn't a lock to be ready after the Week 9 bye. His absence is good news for WRs Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Tyler Johnson will operate as the #3 WR but would be a fantasy flier.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. The Athletic's Greg Auman spotted Brown with a crutch. That certainly doesn't sound like a guy in line to play vs. the Saints this weekend -- especially with Tampa getting a Week 9 bye. With Brown out last week, WR Chris Godwin saw 11 targets and WR Mike Evans 10.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. We still don't have any details on Brown's injury, but the fact that he didn't practice at all this week makes him seem iffy for Week 8. It's worth noting that Tampa Bay has a Week 9 bye. Brown's absence on Sunday should elevate WR Tyler Johnson to the #3 spot on the depth chart. He's still just a DFS tournament flier. WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin should soak up extra targets with Brown out.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He appears to be in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Bears. Brown's absence would move WR Tyler Johnson up into the #3 spot on the depth chart -- and mean more targets for WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown remains on the COVID list as of Friday night and is expected to miss Sunday's game vs. the Rams, according to insider Greg Auman. When Brown missed last year's NFC Championship, WRs Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson basically split #3 WR duties. Neither guy can be trusted in fantasy lineups. Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski could all pick up extra targets with Brown out.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin is not listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's opener vs. the Cowboys. He was limited in Tuesday's practice with a quad issue but returned to a full practice on Wednesday. Godwin is a strong fantasy play against a Cowboys defense that ranked 2nd-to-last in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs last year.
