Can Chris Godwin Jr. be the Buccaneers' WR1?

Saturday, March 14, 9:17 AM

Playing in parts of only nine games in 2025, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. put up the worst statistical campaign of his nine-year career, recording personal lows in receptions and yards, while his two receiving touchdowns were the lowest since his rookie year in 2017. Entering 2026, the Buccaneers will be without future Hall of Famer Mike Evans for the first time in over a decade, opening a target vacuum that Godwin could be first in line to fill. Godwin missed the first three games of 2025, opening a window for first-round pick Emeka Egbuka to form an early rapport with Baker Mayfield, but the chemistry faded down the stretch, and it was Godwin who received the second-most looks behind Evans over the final month of the season. One more year removed from the brutal ankle injury that ended his 2024 season, Godwin should see his target share and raw opportunities spike to the pre-injury count that saw him top 1,000 yards for five straight seasons.

Tee Higgins News

Tee Higgins Continues to Thrive in No. 2 Role

Tuesday, February 17, 4:46 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins continues to be a productive fantasy option, and he posted a new career-best finish as the overall WR15 in PPR leagues in 2025. Despite missing two games, Higgins exploded for 59 catches, 846 yards, and a career-high 11 touchdowns. It has been really encouraging to see the former second-round pick get more looks in the end zone. He has set a new career-high in touchdowns in each of the last two seasons, and during that two-year window, he has scored a total of 21 times. Some people might say that Higgins benefits from facing teams' No. 2 cornerbacks (because their top options cover Ja'Marr Chase), but that's a hard argument to make given that Higgins has also excelled in games that Chase has missed. There's a bit of an injury risk with Higgins, who had two concussions during the back half of the 2025 season, but his ceiling and floor both remain quite high. He's worth drafting as a high-end WR2 in 2026 fantasy drafts, and he's worth holding in dynasty leagues.
