Godwin secured five of six targets for 64 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night. Godwin co-led the Buccaneers in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards on the night. However, his target total, which was second on the night to Mike Evans' seven, was Godwin's lowest of the season through five games. Nevertheless, the veteran Penn State product has a critical role in coordinator Liam Coen's offense and next takes aim at a talented Saints secondary in Week 6 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Godwin secured five of six targets for 64 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night. Godwin co-led the Buccaneers in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards on the night. However, his target total, which was second on the night to Mike Evans' seven, was Godwin's lowest of the season through five games. Nevertheless, the veteran Penn State product has a critical role in coordinator Liam Coen's offense and next takes aim at a talented Saints secondary in Week 6 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 13.
Godwin secured six of nine targets for 69 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday. Godwin was either tied for second or the sole runner-up across the board to Mike Evans in terms of his receiving line. Godwin has no fewer than six receptions or eight targets in any of his first four games, although Sunday did see his season-opening three-game touchdown streak come to an end. The Penn State product heads into a Week 5 road divisional clash against the Falcons with a rock-solid fantasy floor and appears to be a seamless fit in new coordinator Liam Coen's offense.
Godwin (neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Neither does Mike Evans, whose absence from practice Friday was attributed to 'knee/rest'. Godwin was a limited participant throughout the week and should be ready for his usual workload come Sunday.
Godwin (neck) was limited at practice Thursday. The same can be said for position mate Mike Evans (knee), with both players having a cap on their practice reps so far during Week 4 prep. Friday's injury report thus will be key for both players' statuses entering the weekend as the Buccaneers gear up for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
Godwin was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Both Godwin and Mike Evans (knee) are kicking off Week 4 prep with the same amount of on-field work, placing a cloud over the upcoming availability of Tampa Bay's top two wide receivers. The pair will have two opportunities to get back to full this week before the team potentially gives them designations ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Eagles.
Godwin secured six of nine targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. Godwin was about the only highlight for the Buccaneers offense, which endured a surprisingly miserable afternoon at the hands of the Broncos defense. Baker Mayfield threw for only 163 yards while taking seven sacks, and Godwin accounted for team-high yardage and targets under those conditions. The veteran wideout's score, his third in as many games this season, further corroborates his outsized role in coordinator Liam Coen's scheme, and Godwin therefore will continue to enjoy a bright fantasy outlook heading into a Week 4 home matchup against the Eagles.
Godwin caught seven of eight targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions. Godwin accounted for Baker Mayfield's first seven completions, including a 41-yard touchdown catch. Tampa Bay's passing game slowed down after that, as Mayfield finished with only 185 yards, but the Buccaneers hung on for the win. Godwin has already equaled last season's total of two touchdown catches while racking up exactly 200 receiving yards heading into Week 3 against the Broncos.
Godwin converted all eight of his targets into receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders. Godwin was the leading receiver for Tampa Bay in terms of receptions, targets and yardage, but fellow star wideout Mike Evans grabbed two of Baker Mayfield's four touchdown passes Sunday. More importantly, the 28-year-old Godwin looked healthy running routes in the win after battling minor leg injuries in past seasons. Both Godwin and Evans make for fine fantasy starters on a weekly basis, including next Sunday's tilt against the Lions.
Godwin caught his only target for nine yards in Friday's 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins. Tampa Bay's starting offense (sans the resting Mike Evans) played the opening drive, and Godwin caught one of Baker Mayfield's three completions. Godwin has topped 1,000 receiving yards in four of the past five regular seasons, and the 28-year-old wide receiver is expected to play a key role in the passing attack once again when the games start to count Sept. 8 against the Commanders.
