The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Chris Godwin Jr.
Is Chris Godwin Playing in Week 15?
Godwin is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Buccaneers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Godwin in Week 15?
Godwin made three chunk plays in Week 13 and ripped off a 21-yard catch-and-run on the first drive last week against the Saints.
He looks healthy, and while I think there’s some risk involved in every Buccaneer at this point, understanding that their fate essentially relies on the two remaining games against the Panthers, I’m comfortable starting him in this spot.
We saw these two teams play a pair of bonkers games last season, and even if that’s not the case, a healthy Godwin against a defense that has allowed a WR to reach 16 PPR points in seven straight is good enough for me.
Emeka Egbuka is struggling right now, and strong play from Godwin stands to unlock him. A Mike Evans return is also possible, but that’s a different role than what we are looking at here. I’m banking on 6-8 efficient targets, and that should be enough to land him as a top 30 play in all formats.
