Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. ATL)

It’s now been three games since Chris Godwin returned, and he’s seen his involvement increase every week. Against the Saints, Godwin caught five of eight targets for 55 yards. Most importantly, he looks like himself.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers absolutely have to have this game if they want to win the NFC South. Emeka Egbuka has played truly horrific football for the better part of two months now. It’s time to accept that perhaps he just had a good run-out to start the season.

Even if Mike Evans returns on Thursday night, he won’t see a full complement of snaps given the lengthy layoff. Godwin has become Baker Mayfield’s safety blanket, and that should remain so.

Falcons-Bucs games are historically high-scoring. But even if Kirk Cousins can’t hold up his end of the bargain anymore, Godwin should be able to get there against a defense allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Jordan Addison, WR, Minnesota Vikings (at DAL)

Last week, I saw the Vikings’ offensive explosion coming. That’s why I recommended Justin Jefferson as a start. Right church, wrong pew.

It’s abundantly clear by now that Jefferson is not a featured part of this offense. We don’t have to understand it or agree with it. We just have to accept it.

Jefferson has not scored above 11.1 fantasy points in five consecutive games. In four of those games, he was below 9.0 fantasy points. Jefferson has a total of four receptions for 15 yards over his last two combined.

The matchup against the Cowboys is as good as it gets. But Jefferson showed no ability to exploit a similarly favorable matchup last week against the Commanders. So, we turn to Jordan Addison.

The Vikings WR2 (now apparently the WR1) caught four passes for 62 yards. He was the leading receiver. Addison’s production dwarfs Jefferson’s over the past two games. Now, he gets to exploit a defense allowing the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Dallas will very likely bounce back after losing to the Lions last Thursday. That means negative game script for the Vikings and more pass attempts for JJ McCarthy. Those passes have to go somewhere and we know they’re not going to Jefferson. Thus, Addison is the smart play this week.
