Godwin's Return: Bucs WR Eyes Sunday Night Showdown
23 Nov
Summary
- Chris Godwin is expected to return Sunday night after a fibula injury.
- He's listed as questionable but practiced fully Thursday.
- Bucs may lean on Godwin with Mike Evans also out.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is poised to make his return to the field this Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Godwin has been absent since sustaining a fibula injury in Week 5 but has recently progressed to full practice sessions. This marks a significant step toward his return, although he remains officially questionable for the game.
The Buccaneers may heavily rely on Godwin in the absence of fellow receiver Mike Evans, who is also dealing with an injury. In the limited games Godwin played earlier in the season, he demonstrated his potential impact, and the upcoming matchup against the Rams, which is projected to be a high-scoring affair, could provide ample opportunities for him.
Despite the potential for heavy usage, fantasy football owners are cautioned to consider Godwin's past performance this season and the Rams' strong defense against wide receivers. While a case can be made for starting Godwin, particularly in desperate situations, it represents a significant leap of faith. Erring on the side of caution is advised for most fantasy lineups.
