Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin Jr. or DK Metcalf

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf was able to break out of his slump during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Before his big performance in Week 14, Metcalf was held to under 50 receiving yards in each of his last five games. Metcalf took advantage of the Ravens' lackluster secondary in this one, though. He hauled in seven of his 12 targets for a team-high 148 yards in the victory. Metcalf set a new season-high in yardage, as he has been held under 100 receiving yards since Week 4. In recent weeks, the Steelers have been shy to throw it deep to Metcalf. He showed that he's still capable of making plays down the field, so hopefully Metcalf can carry this momentum into next week's plus matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
