News

  • Signs franchise tender

    Godwin signed his franchise tender Wednesday morning, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: This means Godwin is officially under contract and can be fined if he holds out from training camp or games. In other words, the wideout knows it won't come down to that, figuring he'll sign a long-term contract or else play out 2021 under a franchise tag for $15.9 million. The second option typically would be undesirable for a player of Godwin's caliber, but it makes more some sense this offseason, with the wideout coming off an injury-marred campaign and the market for free agents impacted by…read more

  • Receives franchise tag

    Godwin is getting a franchise tag, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Godwin has acknowledged this possibility and stated that he'll play out 2021 under the franchise tag if he doesn't get a new contract. Both parties likely prefer a long-term agreement, but that it doesn't necessarily mean it will be easy to agree on specifics before the negotiation deadline, which usually is set at July 15. Either way, Godwin won't be a free agent this offseason.

  • Would play on franchise tag

    Godwin recently indicated he would be willing to play the 2021 season under the franchise tag if necessary, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: According to Laine, the franchise tag appears to be "where things are headed" for Godwin this offseason, as the move would afford the Buccaneers some more salary-cap flexibility in the short term. Godwin's franchise tender would be worth around $16.5 million for 2021, and accepting the tag wouldn't rule out of the possibility of the wideout eventually reaching a longer-term deal with Tampa Bay. Further clarity on Godwin's 2021 contract situation will be gleaned in coming days, as the deadline…read more

  • Pair of grabs in Super Bowl LV win

    Godwin secured two of four targets for nine yards during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin had a disappointing conclusion to his 2020 season and postseason from an individual perspective, but the fourth-year wideout undeniably played a pivotal role in the team's championship run. He hauled in 65 of 84 targets for 840 yards and seven touchdowns over 12 regular-season games, quickly developing a rapport with Tom Brady and also generating a 5-110-0 line during the NFC Championship Game win over the Packers. However, the Penn State product is a pending unrestricted free agent, and…read more

  • Paces receivers in championship win

    Godwin secured five of nine targets for 110 yards and rushed once for six yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Godwin's receptions, receiving yards and targets paced the Buccaneers on the afternoon, and his one carry, which came on third down with 48 seconds remaining, ensured Tampa Bay would become the first team in NFL history to play a Super Bowl in its home stadium. The fourth-year wideout also had a team-high 52-yard grab early in the second quarter a play prior Leonard Fournette's 20-yard touchdown rush that marked Tampa Bay's second score, and he made a clutch 11-yard grab on a key fourth-quarter…read more

  • Good to go

    Godwin (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Godwin, Mike Evans and Antonio Brown (knee) were all listed on the injury report this week, but only Brown (ruled out) has a designation for the NFC Championship Game. The Bucs have Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson on hand for WR depth behind the formidable duo of Godwin and Evans.

  • Gets in limited work

    Godwin (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Like Mike Evans (knee), Godwin's practice reps are being managed this week with an eye toward being cleared for Sunday's NFC Championship Game in Green Bay. The Buccaneers may make such a decision evident upon the release of Friday's injury report.

  • Logs limited practice listing

    The Buccaneers listed Godwin (quadriceps/hip) as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice reports.

    Analysis: Tampa Bay also listed Mike Evans (knee), but neither wideout is believed to be in any great danger of missing Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers. Both players were listed as limited at practice last Wednesday before entering the Buccaneers' divisional-round win over the Saints without injury designations.

  • Four grabs in divisional-round win

    Godwin brought in four of seven targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was a relatively quiet day for the Buccaneers' air attack, which had been hitting on all cylinders in the latter stages of the regular season and in last week's wild-card win over Washington. Therefore, Godwin's catch total actually tied for second highest on the evening for Tampa Bay, but his yardage tally served as his lowest since Week 14 and his second lowest of the regular season and postseason overall. Godwin will hope to bounce back in next Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the…read more

  • Ready to take on Saints

    Godwin (hip/quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's NFC divisional-round matchup against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Godwin had his practice reps managed due to a pair of injuries this week, beginning with two limited sessions and then sitting out entirely Friday, but there's no reason to believe he'll deal with any significant limitations Sunday. With Mike Evans (knee) also having been cleared to suit up in New Orleans, the Buccaneers' receiving corps will be at full strength.

  • Limited in practice Thursday

    Godwin (hip/quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

    Analysis: With no indication either of his injuries is serious, Godwin should be ready for Sunday's game in New Orleans. The Saints limited him to nine catches for 120 yards on 13 targets in two regular-season matchups, but Godwin approaches the weekend with a four-game TD streak.

  • Logs limited showing Wednesday

    Godwin was a limited practice participant Wednesday with hip and quadriceps injuries.

    Analysis: Bogged down by injuries during the first half of the season, Godwin has been in a groove of late, scoring touchdowns in four consecutive contests. During that stretch, he's compiled a 19-332-5 line on 33 targets. Godwin is tending to a pair of issues this week, but the fact he got in some reps Wednesday likely indicates he's trending in the right direction. Ultimately, Friday's practice report may clear up his status entirely for Sunday's divisional-round game at New Orleans.

  • Finds end zone in win

    Godwin brought in five of 12 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.

    Analysis: As the pedestrian catch rate implies, Godwin had some uncharacteristic struggles with drops Saturday, but he worked around them enough to still turn in a solid line fantasy-wise. His longest catch of the night resulted in a touchdown, with Godwin recording a 27-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter to extend Tampa Bay's lead to 15-7 at the time. Godwin will look to continue to clean up the shaky hands and up his efficiency in a divisional-round matchup next weekend.

  • Makes most of five catches

    Godwin brought in five of seven targets for 133 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 44-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: With fellow wideout Mike Evans going down for good in the first quarter with a knee injury, Godwin and Antonio Brown (14 targets) were the beneficiaries of some extra attention from Tom Brady. Godwin ultimately recorded six fewer catches than his speedy teammate, but he compiled just five fewer yards thanks in large part to a game-high 47-yard reception. The 26.6 yards per grab Godwin put up was easily a season high, and he's now tallied four touchdowns in the last three games. Jenna Laine of…read more

  • Another touchdown grab in win

    Godwin secured five of nine targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 47-7 win over the Lions on Saturday.

    Analysis: Godwin got in on the fun during Tom Brady and the Buccaneers' record-setting first half, recording a seven-yard touchdown grab in the latter portion of the second quarter. The fourth-year wideout was second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Mike Evans, and the 24-year-old has now scored in three of his last five contests. Godwin will look to put together a strong finish to his regular season and tune up for a postseason where he'll undoubtedly be expected to play a major role in a…read more

  • Finds end zone in win

    Godwin secured four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also committed a fumble, but it was recovered by the Bucs.

    Analysis: Godwin took a back seat to fellow wideouts Mike Evans and Antonio Brown in the passing game hierarchy, with the duo seeing a combined 14 targets and parlaying them into an 11-203-1 line. Godwin's production was meager by comparison, but his four-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter boosted his day from a fantasy perspective. The fourth-year pro has just 61 total yards over his last two games, so he'll look to up his numbers at the expense of the vulnerable Lions secondary in a Saturday…read more

  • Quiet day in win

    Godwin secured two of three targets for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-14 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin was able to suit up for his first game since having the pins in his surgically repaired index finger removed, but he played a very minor role on a day when Tom Brady put the ball up a season-low 23 times. The Penn State product's catch and yardage tallies were season-low figures, but he'll look to revert to his usual numbers in a favorable Week 15 road divisional matchup against the Falcons.

  • Puts in full practice

    Godwin (finger) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: After not practicing at all Wednesday, Godwin handled every rep one day later. Meanwhile, Mike Evans (hamstring) downgraded from limited to no activity during that span. Evans gutted through injuries early on this season before putting together a lengthy spell without any health concerns, so his status could impact the rest of the Buccaneers' receiving corps. Friday's injury report may clear up whether Godwin is poised for more targets than usual.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Godwin (finger) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Godwin wasn't seen at the portion of the session open to the media, and he didn't get in any reps before its conclusion. Both Godwin and Mike Evans (hamstring) are tending to injuries following the Buccaneers' Week 13 bye, so their statuses should be watched closely as the weekend approaches to get a sense of their availability for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

    Godwin (finger) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The wideout's absence Wednesday isn't a huge surprise after he underwent a minor follow-up procedure Tuesday to remove pins from his fractured left index finger. Godwin still has a couple more chances to rejoin his teammates at practice in advance of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Godwin underwent a minor follow-up procedure earlier Tuesday to remove pins from his fractured left index finger, so his absence from the Bucs' practice session doesn't come as a major surprise. The Buccaneers are set to release their first Week 14 injury report Wednesday, which will reveal whether Godwin was able to get back on the practice field in some capacity a day after the procedure.

  • Gets minor follow-up procedure

    Godwin underwent a minor procedure Tuesday to have pins removed from his broken finger, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Godwin previously missed the Buccaneers' Week 8 win over the Giants after undergoing surgery on his fractured left index finger, but the report doesn't specify whether the follow-up procedure will cost him any time. The wideout's activity in practice this week will thus need to be monitored leading up to Sunday's game versus the Vikings. Since returning from his one-game absence, Godwin has totaled 24 receptions for 283 yards and a touchdown on 31 targets.

  • Stays busy in close loss

    Godwin secured eight of nine targets for 97 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin finished with a team high in receptions while checking in second in receiving yardage to Rob Gronkowski. The fourth-year wideout also tied Mike Evans for the team lead in targets and will head into the Buccaneers' Week 13 bye with a combined 21-242-1 line over his last three games. Godwin also has no fewer than six targets and as many as 10 in each of his eight contests thus far, giving him a coveted fantasy floor ahead of a Week 14 battle versus the Vikings following the upcoming week…read more

  • Scores late touchdown

    Godwin caught seven of 10 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Godwin trailed only Antonio Brown for Tampa Bay's lead in receptions, targets and yards through the air. However, unlike Brown, Godwin was able to find the end zone, triumphantly leaping from a few yards to complete a 13-yard score in the fourth quarter. That play marked Godwin's third touchdown in seven appearances this season, and Monday also brought about a new high in targets from quarterback Tom Brady, which bodes well for Godwin in advance of Week 12's matchup against the Chiefs.

    Godwin brought in all six targets for 92 yards in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The fourth-year wideout paced the team in receiving yardage while tying his second-highest catch total of the season. Godwin encouragingly has logged 12 targets over the two games he's played thus far alongside Antonio Brown, a trend that fantasy managers will naturally hope persists even as the latter gets further acclimated to the offense. Godwin is still in the hunt for his first 100-yard game of the season, a benchmark he'll look to achieve in a Week 11 Monday night showdown against the…read more

    Godwin (finger) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Carolina, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Godwin returned from a one-game absence last week, catching three of six targets for 41 yards while playing 94 percent of the offensive snaps in a 38-3 loss to New Orleans. He was a full practice participant Friday and shouldn't have any limitations come Sunday, but he does have significant competition for Tom Brady's attention in an offense that also features Mike Evans, Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski.

  • Another limited practice

    Godwin (finger) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Following a one-game absence due to surgery to repair a fractured left index finger, Godwin handled 94 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Saints en route to three catches (on six targets) for 41 yards. As he gets healthier, he'll seek his first 100-yard outing of the season, which could come as soon as Sunday versus the Panthers' 20th-ranked pass defense (246.8 yards per game). That's assuming Godwin is active.

Despite his limitations to begin Week 10, the Buccaneers haven't provided any indication that Godwin suffered any sort of setback against the Saints. As a result, Godwin should be in store for another full snap load Sunday in Carolina, lining up alongside a…read more

    Godwin said Wednesday that he still has pins in his surgically-repaired finger, but he expects to have them removed soon, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Godwin missed one game after undergoing surgery, but he made it back for Sunday's 38-3 loss to New Orleans and caught three of six targets for 41 yards while playing 94 percent of the offensive snaps. He should be set for another full workload Week 10 at Carolina, competing for targets in an offense that also has Mike Evans, Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski.

  • Posts 41 yards in return

    Godwin (finger) had three catches (six targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: It was a dreadful performance all around from the Buccaneers in a primetime matchup where the team was trying to dethrone the old guard of the NFC South. Despite throwing for nearly the entire game (38 pass attempts to four carries), Tom Brady was unable to establish any rhythm with his top wideouts. The good news here is that Godwin escaped the contest without aggravating the finger injury that forced him to miss last week's contest.

  • Suiting up Week 9

    Godwin (finger) is active for Sunday's game versus the Saints.

    Analysis: After putting in a full practice Friday, Godwin will miss just one contest following Oct. 27 surgery to repair a fractured left index finger. He could get back in the box score in a big way against a New Orleans defense that has given up 10.1 yards per target (second worst in the NFL) and 12 touchdowns (fourth most) to wideouts in seven outings this season.

  • Questionable, should play Week 9

    Godwin (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but head coach Bruce Arians said earlier Friday that he expects the receiver to return from a one-game absence, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Godwin backed up Arians' optimism about his status by practicing fully Friday after the Buccaneers listed him as a limited participant earlier this week in his first two practices since undergoing surgery Oct. 27 to repair a fractured left index finger. Notably, Godwin caught the ball Friday for the first time since his procedure, so assuming that wasn't too much of an issue, he should be ready to start and handle a normal snap load come Sunday. The Buccaneers are slated to unveil a…read more

    Coach Bruce Arians said he expects Godwin (finger) to play in Sunday's game against the Saints, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Arians said it's now a matter of pain tolerance for Godwin, who is less than two weeks removed from surgery to address a fractured index finger. Though the Buccaneers seemingly expect the wideout to return to the lineup after sitting out the Week 8 win over the Giants, Godwin could still be listed as questionable when Tampa Bay releases its final injury report of the week later Friday.

Head coach Bruce Arians noted that Godwin will attempt to catch passes Friday, marking the first time he's been cleared to do so since undergoing surgery on his fractured left index finger last week.

    Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said Godwin (finger) participated fully in Wednesday's walk-through practice, though the receiver didn't catch passes during the session, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. "We won't know until Friday if he can catch a ball," Arians said of Godwin.

    Analysis: While a player's full participation to begin the week of practice normally bodes well for his chances of gaining clearance for game action, Arians' comments imply that Godwin's status will still need to be monitored heading into the weekend.

  • Viewed as '50-50' for Week 9

    Godwin (finger), who has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, is believed to have a "50-50" chance of suiting up in the Buccaneers' Week 9 contest against the Saints, a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Analysis: Prior to undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured index finger on his left hand, Godwin was initially told by doctors that he would be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks. After pins were placed in his finger as part of the procedure, however, doctors adjusted Godwin's timetable, estimating that the wideout would miss only 1-to-2 weeks. That timeline now leaves the door open for Godwin to suit up Week 9, but his availability may come down to what he's able to do in the Buccaneers' next three…read more

  • Out Week 8 after finger surgery

    Godwin is slated to miss the Buccaneers' Week 8 game against the Giants after undergoing surgery Tuesday to address a fractured left index finger, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Though Godwin wasn't forced to exit early Sunday in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders, the wideout apparently sustained the injury on his touchdown catch with 7:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. He finished the contest with nine receptions for 88 yards on nine targets while playing 59 of the Bucs' 72 offensive snaps. According to Stroud, Godwin's surgery went without a hitch and his prognosis is good, leaving the Buccaneers optimistic he'll be ready to return to action Week 9 against…read more

  • Team-leading catch total in win

    Godwin hauled in all nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin's catch total led the Buccaneers on the afternoon and both his reception and receiving yardage tallies served as his highest of the campaign as well. The fourth-year wideout also recorded his second touchdown of the season on a four-yard grab with 7:22 remaining in the contest, making it his best all-around fantasy outing of 2020. Godwin's target share is expected to take a hit to a degree whenever Antonio Brown (suspension) gets fully integrated into the offense beginning Week 9, but…read more

  • Removed from injury report

    Godwin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Godwin returned to the lineup last week and caught five of seven targets for 48 yards while playing 63 percent of offensive snaps. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday this week, but there isn't any concern about his availability for the game. It is possible Godwin continues to see his workload monitored, rather than handling snap shares in the 85-to-100 percent range the way he did all of last season.

  • Reps capped again

    Godwin (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Both Godwin and Mike Evans (ankle) have been limited in the Buccaneers' first two practices of Week 7, but head coach Bruce Arians hasn't suggested that either wideout is at any real risk of sitting out Sunday's game in Las Vegas. If Godwin follows the same practice pattern from last week, he'll upgrade to full activity Friday and avoid carrying an injury designation into the matchup with the Raiders.

  • Limited practice Wednesday

    Godwin (hamstring) is listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: In his first appearance since Week 3 this past Sunday against the Packers, Godwin logged a 62 percent share of offensive snaps en route to finishing with five catches (on seven targets) for 48 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win. Assuming he escapes the week of practice with no further setbacks with the hamstring, Godwin should take on a larger snap share this weekend in Las Vegas.

  • Five grabs in return

    Godwin caught five of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: The Bucs' defense dominated for most of the afternoon, leaving little for the team's passing game to do, but Godwin was still able to draw solid target volume in just his third appearance of the year. Expect the game script to be a little more favorable, and Godwin to be more productive, in Week 7's road tilt against the Raiders.

    Godwin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Coach Bruce Arians said he expected the star wideout to return this week, and we now have confirmation after Godwin upgraded to full practice participation Friday. He'll make his first appearance since Week 3, teaming up with Mike Evans to give Tom Brady a formidable duo at wide receiver. Godwin has 11 catches for 143 yards and a touchdown in his two games this year.

    Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that he thinks Godwin (hamstring) will return for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like the wide receiver will be treated as a game-time decision, but with a general sense of optimism that he'll be able to suit up. Godwin was a limited practice participant both Wednesday and Thursday, taking a tangible step forward after he was a non-participant all last week. A 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff isn't ideal for fantasy purposes, but it is possible Godwin's status becomes clear before Sunday afternoon.

While another update on the extent of Godwin's participation won't be known until the Buccaneers release their first Week 6 injury report Wednesday, the fact that he was on the field while donning a helmet Tuesday -- albeit off to the side rather than with the main group -- represents a meaningful step forward in the recovery process.

With Godwin out of the lineup this past Sunday against the Chargers, Scotty Miller (hip/groin) stepped up and had five catches (on seven targets) for 83 yards and one touchdown.

    Analysis: Godwin joined Mike Evans (ankle), Scotty Miller (hip/groin) and Justin Watson (chest) as DNPs to kick off Week 5 prep. There's an expectation Godwin doesn't suit up Thursday at Chicago, but it'd be a great sign for his health if he's able to get back on the practice field this week. In Godwin's stead, Miller racked up five catches (on seven targets) for 83 yards and one touchdown Sunday versus the Chargers.

Indeed, Godwin didn't suit up Week 4, and now his standing will be monitored with just a handful of days to prepare for the Bears. It's worth noting Mike Evans briefly left Sunday's win versus the Chargers with an ankle injury as well, which could improve the stock of Scotty Miller and Justin…read more

    Godwin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Reports earlier this week suggested Godwin was in danger of missing multiple games, and it doesn't help his cause that the Bucs play on Thursday Night Football against the Bears in Week 5. He didn't practice at all this week, so a return for the Thursday game doesn't seem especially likely. Fellow wideout Justin Watson has been cleared to return from a shoulder injury for Sunday's game, while Scotty Miller (hip) appears questionable.

    Analysis: It sounds like the wide receiver likely will miss Sunday's game against the Chargers and then possibly the team's Thursday night game in Chicago on Oct. 8. If that's the case, look for Scotty Miller (hip/groin) to see added opportunities in the Bucs offense alongside Mike Evans during that span.

In the event that Godwin is forced to miss any time and rehab on the sideline, Scotty Miller will take over in the slot as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Mike Evans.

    Godwin is ruled out to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a hamstring injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. He finished the game with five receptions (on six targets) for 64 yards and a touchdown.

    Analysis: Godwin managed to clear the concussion protocol in time to suit up versus Denver, but he's now been ruled out in the fourth quarter due to what appears to be a right hamstring strain. It's somewhat worrying that Godwin was ruled out mere minutes after leaving the field, but it's worth noting that the Buccaneers are also nursing an 18-point lead with less than 14 minutes of play remaining. In the meantime, Scotty Miller stands to see increased looks as the No. 2 receiver across from Mike Evans.

The 24-year-old wideout will return to the lineup alongside Mike Evans as one of Tom Brady's clear top targets, a development which will push Scotty Miller back into the No. 3 spot and Justin Watson into a depth role.

This is especially noteworthy after the Bucs upgraded Mike Evans (hamstring) from doubtful to questionable last weekend, then used him on 93 percent of offensive snaps in a loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The results of Tuesday's MRI on Godwin's hamstring are unknown, but the wide receiver hasn't stepped on the practice field yet this week. The Buccaneers are three days out from their Week 16 matchup with the Texans, so Godwin seems to be in danger of donning street clothes this weekend. With Mike Evans and Scott Miller landing on injured reserve Tuesday due to their own hamstring injuries, Tampa Bay may have to rely on Breshad Perriman and Justin Watson as its top options at wide receiver.…read more

  • Not practicing Tuesday

    Godwin (hamstring) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Godwin was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, so the Buccaneers will presumably hold him out of practice until his test results are known. Even if the MRI clears Godwin of any significant damage to his hamstring, the Buccaneers don't seem to be counting on the wideout making it back on a short week, as Tampa Bay hosts the Texans on Saturday. With Mike Evans and Scott Miller also sidelined to begin the week with hamstring injuries of their own, the Buccaneers are down to Breshad Perriman,…read more

  • Getting MRI on Tuesday

    Godwin (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After Godwin was forced out early in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Lions, coach Bruce Arians expressed concern that the wideout's hamstring injury could end up costing him some time. An official timeline for Godwin's return isn't likely to emerge until the results of the MRI are read, but fantasy managers should probably prepare themselves to be without the 23-year-old for Week 16 matchups. With fellow star receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) and depth option Scotty Miller (hamstring) also looking…read more

  • Hamstring injury similar to Evans'

    Coach Bruce Arians called Godwin's hamstring injury "not good" following Sunday's 38-17 win at Detroit, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Just one game removed from fellow wideout Mike Evans suffering a serious hamstring injury, the same fate befell Godwin. Prior to Godwin's departure in the third quarter, he racked up what ended up being a team-best 121 yards on his five catches (seven targets). If Godwin and Evans are out of the lineup Saturday against the Texans, their combined 17.6 targets per game on the campaign will be available for the likes of Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman to take on. Meanwhile, Scott…read more

  • Won't return Sunday

    Godwin (hamstring) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game in Detroit and won't return, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Buccaneers wide receivers are dropping like flies. First, Mike Evans sustained a serious hamstring injury Week 14 and didn't take the field Sunday. Then, second-year slot receiver Scotty Miller was ruled out of this contest with a hamstring concern of his own. Godwin himself suffered a hamstring issue, leaving Tampa Bay with just Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman at the position.

  • Bump in volume likely on tap

    Godwin is likely to see an increase in his average of 8.7 targets per game with Mike Evans (hamstring) expected to miss the last three contests of the season.

    Analysis: Jeremy Fowler of ESPN cited a team source in a Tuesday report that indicates Evans will be sidelined for the Buccaneers' last three games "barring unexpected improvement" in his badly pulled hamstring. Any Evans absence should equate to a bump in workload for Godwin, who was just behind his teammate's team-high pace of 9.1 targets per contest. Godwin has proven efficient with his opportunities -- he owns a solid 71.7 percent catch rate -- so a handful of additional targets in coach Bruce…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in win

    Godwin brought in seven of nine targets for 91 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yardage and targets for the afternoon, but on a day when Jameis Winston comfortably eclipsed 400 passing yards, the receiver's day could arguably be considered somewhat underwhelming from a fantasy perspective. Nevertheless, Godwin's yardage tally was his second highest since Week 6, so it did represent a nice bump over his average in recent weeks. Additionally, with Mike Evans having suffered what may be a serious hamstring injury Sunday,…read more

  • Quiet in Week 13 victory

    Godwin secured four of six targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin crashed back down to earth after his eye-popping 7-184-2 line in the Week 12 win over the Falcons, with Jameis Winston getting Breshad Perriman (5-87) and O.J. Howard (5-60) involved at an atypically high rate Sunday. Despite the downturn, Godwin has the ability to pop off on any given week, and with no fewer than six targets in nine straight games, a robust role in the offense is all but guaranteed each time he suits up. The third-year wideout will look to bounce back with better…read more

  • Monster performance in Week 12 win

    Godwin brought in seven of eight targets for 184 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin got his day started in earnest with a beautiful 71-yard touchdown grab in extremely tight coverage midway through the first quarter, giving the Buccaneers their first points of the contest. He'd eventually also make another impressive catch in much closer quarters, bringing in a one-yard scoring throw in the second quarter on a play where the ball appeared to carom into his hands off the defender's body. Godwin eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season with his stellar afternoon, one…read more

  • FInds end zone in loss

    Godwin hauled in three of six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin put together another relatively modest stat line, but his 30-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter boosted his day from a fantasy perspective. The third-year wideout hadn't crossed the goal since Week 5 in a game against this same Saints squad, and he's now failed to eclipse 100 yards in four consecutive contests. Godwin will look to build on Sunday's score against the Falcons in a Week 12 divisional showdown.

  • Solid six-catch effort

    Godwin brought in six of 12 targets for 74 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin certainly had plenty of opportunity for a bigger game, as he paced the team in targets with what was his second-highest number of looks this season. However, the third-year wideout was only able to come up with half of them, much of it based on Jameis Winston's inaccuracy, which led to an interception on one of those misfires involving Godwin. The Penn State product has followed up a three-game streak of 100-yard efforts with three consecutive games under that threshold, so he'll look to…read more

  • Tallies seven grabs in Week 9 loss

    Godwin brought in seven of nine targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Godwin saw teammate Mike Evans once again steal the spotlight, with the latter turning double-digit targets into double-digit receptions for the second straight week. Godwin did check in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Evans, but he was once again utilized in much closer proximity to the line of scrimmage on his way to 8.7 yards per grab. While his final line wasn't particularly remarkable, Godwin did see a good bump in production after mustering a more modest 4-43 line in…read more
