Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin Jr. or A.J. Brown

Thursday, December 4, 6:06 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. (leg) is getting healthier following a fractured fibula that he suffered back in Week 5. Godwin returned from his fibula injury in the Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams to catch two of his four targets for just nine yards. The 29-year-old saw the field more in last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals and caught three of five targets for a season-high 78 yards. He was still limited with his leg injury in Wednesday's practice, but he upgraded to a full practice on Thursday and should continue to see his role grow as he heads into the Week 14 divisional game against the New Orleans Saints. Godwin has WR3/flex appeal for fantasy managers in his third game back, although his target share could be negatively affected if Mike Evans (collarbone) comes off IR to play for the first time since breaking his collarbone in Week 7.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is on a heater. After publicly complaining about his role in what has been a lackluster offense in 2025, Brown has now gone over 100 yards receiving in each of the last two games while scoring three times. In the team's 24-15 loss to the visiting Chicago Bears on Black Friday, the 28-year-old caught a season-high 10 passes on 12 targets (also a season high) for a season-high 132 yards and two touchdowns. Philly's offense didn't look great once again outside of Brown's big game against Chicago. For the time being, he has returned to the WR1 role in Philly over DeVonta Smith, but that could easily change heading into the team's Week 14 tilt on the road on Monday Night Football against the Chargers. Fantasy managers have to like the way things are trending with Brown at the moment, though, as we get closer to the fantasy postseason.
