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 that allows 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.

Amon-Ra St. Brown | DET (at LAR)

It looked and sounded like Amon-Ra St. Brown was going to sit last week. The newser with Dan Campbell coming out of Thanksgiving framed the injury as non-serious but impactful. His taking Week 14 off with extended rest ahead of Week 15 made all the sense in the world.

The low-ankle sprain didn’t appear to limit him in any capacity in the win over the Cowboys, and you’re safe to assume that you have an elite asset for the playoff push.

Detroit funneled the first pass of the game in his direction, and he apparently passed the needed eye test: he went on to post his 10th target share of at least 28% of the season. St. Brown is having the second-best yards per route season of his tremendous career, combining a career-high aDOT while sustaining his impressive YAC numbers.

No player has more catches since he entered the league in 2021 (511), and you should be thrilled about banking on him the rest of the way with Detroit fighting tooth and nail.

Brian Thomas Jr. | JAX (vs NYJ)

We are at the point in the program where small victories are big victories.

What I mean is that we can play Brian Thomas, and that’s better than where we were for most of this season. It’s not a “big” victory because he’s not close to the asset that we thought we were getting when we spent up on him in August, but he’s startable now that he’s produced over PPR expectations in three straight games.

Trevor Lawrence hit him for gains of 18 and 39 yards in the first quarter last week against the Colts, a sign that there is an effort being made to keep him happy. Of course, one catch the rest of the way wasn’t ideal, but 89 yards on a target share nearing 20% is good enough.

We take what we can get.

Jakobi Meyers remains my top-ranked Jag WR this week. Still, we know that it’s Thomas that holds the edge in per-target upside, and why would spunky Jacksonville not explore that upside against a Jets team that, somehow, has yet to fall into an interception this season?

The avoidance of the deep pass in the modern NFL is due in large part to the math: the turnover probability outweighs the catch probability in a lot of instances. But when the math changes, and it does when you’re playing the Jets, so does the playcalling.

I think we get something like what we saw last week: 6-8 shots that result in a few big plays, and that’s enough for him to squeak into the low-end WR2 tier for me in Week 15.
