Chris Godwin Jr. News

Chris Godwin Jr. an Offseason Winner

Sunday, April 26, 5:15 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. is coming off a year in which he saw career lows in receptions, yards, and yards per route run, while his two receiving touchdowns were the lowest since his rookie season. However, he is now 18 months removed from the gruesome lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season and limited him at times throughout 2025. Prior to the injury, he was the fantasy WR2 through the first seven weeks of his age-28 season. Now 30, any fears that he may be slowing down did not show up in the Buccaneers' offseason approach. The team allowed Mike Evans to depart in free agency and spent only a late Day 2 pick on the receiver position, adding Georgia State's Ted Hurst in the middle of the third round. Hurst will likely compete with Jalen McMillan for Evans' vacated snaps on the boundary, while Godwin and Emeka Egbuka offer versatility across the formation and should be the team's most consistent target-earners in 2026. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR49, Godwin is a low-cost buy for competing managers.

Rashee Rice News

Can Rashee Rice Put Together a Full Season of Production in 2026?

Monday, April 27, 9:11 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice missed the first six games of the 2025 season due to a league suspension, and the final three due to a concussion. Across the eight games where he was on the field, the 26-year-old recorded 53 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 78 targets. Rice has now played just 12 games over the past two seasons and enters 2026 in need of a productive year without injury or off-field incidents standing in his way. As long as he's active, Rice profiles as the number one target in the Chiefs' passing game and carries significant fantasy upside, particularly in PPR-scoring formats. Kansas City added University of Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen in the fifth round of the 2026 draft and retains veteran tight end Travis Kelce, but Rice remains the team's most talented receiving option. While Rice's dynasty value is currently colored by his recent struggles to stay on the field, his production ceiling remains sky-high.
