2025 Fantasy Outlook
Godwin was a perfect fit last year under new Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen, thriving as a low-aDOT (5.6), high-volume receiver (8.9 targets per game) who took more than 60 percent of snaps from the slot. He had career highs for PPR scoring average (19.7), receptions per game (7.1) and catch rate (80.6 percent) until it all came crashing down Week 7 when Godwin dislocated his ankle. There hasn't been much information on additional damage to the leg/ankle, nor any report of a recovery timeline, but the Bucs were confident enough to give him a new contract in March, shortly after his 29th birthday. It's a three-year, $66 million deal, with two-thirds of the money guaranteed at signing, putting Godwin in the same price range as long-time running mate Mike Evans. Tempting as it may be to chase last year's production, Godwin comes with some smaller concerns in addition to the big question mark surrounding his lengthy rehab from ankle surgery (he remained on the PUP list for all of training camp). Coen left this offseason, replaced by internal promotion Josh Grizzard, who will call plays for an offense that found a third threat at wide receiver when 2024 third-round pick Jalen McMillan came on strong in December/January. The Bucs then drafted Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka in the first round, adding a fourth viable option for WR snaps and further decreasing the likelihood of Godwin reprising his target workload from September/October of last year.

Not a candidate to play Week 8
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Godwin (lower leg) will not be available Sunday on the road against New Orleans, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Bowles said Godwin, who will not practice Wednesday, remains "week-to-week" and that the team has no concerns about his fibula injury potentially being season-ending, per Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site. The same can't be said for Mike Evans, however, who Bowles said will be "touch and go" to return by the end of the regular season due to a broken collarbone suffered during Monday's loss to the Lions, per Smith. Tampa Bay will go on bye Week 9, meaning Godwin's next chance to take the field will arrive Sunday, Nov. 9 versus the Patriots in Week 10. Until Godwin retakes the field, Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, Ryan Miller and Kameron Johnson will handle expanded roles at wide receiver behind rookie Emeka Egbuka.

Godwin has a three-year streak of 1,000-yard seasons and six in a row with at least 840 yards, despite missing two-to-four games each year from 2019 to 2022. Last season was his first time avoiding absences since he became a full-time starter in 2019, but it was also his worst effort in the five-year stretch for per-game production. Godwin averaged 4.9 catches for 60.2 yards per game, down from 6.9 for 68.2 the year before and 7.0 for 78.8 in 2021. He also scored just three touchdowns (including one on the ground) for a second straight season, and had 10 receiving TDs and two rushing TDs in 46 regular-season appearances over the past three years. Known for his excellent work out of the slot combined with a physical profile (6-1, 209, 4.42 40) that allows him to also succeed on the perimeter, Godwin surprisingly took just 32 percent of his snaps inside last year, down from 60 percent in 2022 and 53 percent in 2021. The Bucs attributed it to an effort to keep him healthy, though new offensive coordinator Liam Coen has already said he's moving the 28-year-old back to a primary slot role. That's the first piece of good news, with the other being that the Bucs are bringing back QB Baker Mayfield and didn't acquire significant new target competition for Godwin and Mike Evans in free agency. Whoever ends up in the No. 3 role -- be it Trey Palmer or someone new -- figures to spend more time on the perimeter, allowing Godwin to align in the slot where both his target rate and catch rate tend to be higher.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Already ruled out for Sunday
Godwin, who's missed the last two games due to a fibula injury, will not play in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Godwin was able to suit up for only two games before coming down with the fibula injury, which happens to be on the same leg in which he sustained the dislocated ankle that ended his 2024 season in Week 7. Head coach Todd Bowles was asked Wednesday if the fact both injuries are to the same leg puts Godwin's season in jeopardy, and Bowles confirmed he didn't believe so while labeling the veteran receiver as "week-to-week" for the time being.
