Chris Godwin Jr. News
Wednesday, April 1, 8:25 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. should be viewed as a low-end WR2 in redraft and dynasty leagues going forward. Now that Mike Evans has departed for San Francisco, Godwin and Emeka Egbuka will share the responsibility of leading the Bucs' receiver room. Either receiver could go off during any given week, but Godwin has a higher floor given his steady target share. The 30-year-old missed eight games due to injury last year, but he was productive when healthy, ranking as the overall WR21 in PPR leagues from Week 13-18. Godwin last eclipsed 1,000 yards in 2023, and he had more than 100 catches in 2022. We wouldn't be surprised to see him finish 2026 with 100+ catches, 1,000+ yards, and at least a handful of touchdowns in 2026, as long as he can stay healthy. Managers in dynasty leagues might look to buy low on Godwin this offseason, given that his price tag is lower because of last year's injury.

Rashee Rice News
Friday, April 3, 3:45 PM
The NFL concluded on Friday that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal-conduct policy," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The investigation into accusations from his former girlfriend is now closed, and there will be no discipline from the league at this time. "Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for their thorough investigation, and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season," Rice's attorney, Sean Lindsey, said in a statement. The 25-year-old Rice is no stranger to bad off-the-field publicity, as he was suspended for the first six games in 2025 due to a high-speed hit-and-run incident in Dallas. The former second-rounder in 2023 out of SMU caught 53 of his 78 targets for 571 yards and five touchdowns in his eight games played in 2025 before suffering a concussion in Week 15 and missing the final two games. The Chiefs can't be happy with Rice's choices off the field, but with no discipline affecting his fantasy value in 2026, he should have a pretty high ceiling as KC's WR1. Rice had a 79-102-7 line in 16 games in his rookie campaign, but he's played only 12 games since due to injuries and suspension.
