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.

Rashid Shaheed an Underpriced Dynasty Buy Heading into First Full Season with Seattle

Friday, May 29, 6:03 AM

Following a mid-season trade from the Saints, Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed saw most of his impact in Seattle come on explosive special teams plays, while he was limited to only 15 receptions for 188 yards in his first nine games with the team. Prior to the trade, Shaheed's 17-game pace with New Orleans was for 943 yards on 83 catches, and in signing him to a three-year, $51 million deal this offseason, the belief in Seattle appears to be that he can return to similar form with a full year in the system. The Seahawks had two or fewer receivers on the field at one of the league's highest rates in 2025, so the spot opposite Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba can be incredibly fruitful for fantasy. Shaheed's primary competition for the job is a soon-to-be-33-year-old Cooper Kupp and 2025 fifth-round pick Tory Horton, who showed promise as a rookie but saw his season ended by a lingering shin injury after only eight games. Shaheed is RotoBaller's dynasty WR83, but with long-term security within one of the league's most well-run organizations and a high-value fantasy role seemingly his to win, he could be viewed as one of the most underpriced buy candidates heading into 2026.
