Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin Jr. or Zay Flowers

Friday, December 26, 3:20 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. has carved out a consistent role for himself in this offense. The 29-year-old has seen five or more targets in four straight games. The problem has been his yardage, with a combined 50 receiving yards over the last two games. Godwin will get a decent matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. The veteran wideout appears to have good chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield. The Bucs have a lot of mouths to feed, but Godwin has earned some trust with a steady target share. Fantasy managers should be able to plug in Godwin as a reliable WR3 for Week 17, albeit with a low floor and ceiling.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has now followed up one of his worst games in his three-year career with three weeks of 14 or more fantasy points in half-PPR formats. His lowest finish over the last few weeks has been WR15, and he came in as the WR8 last week against the New England Patriots, despite a fumble at the end of the game. The Ravens are still fighting for their playoff lives in Week 17 when they go up against the Green Bay Packers, and they'll likely have Tyler Huntley under center. The good news is that Huntley seems to target Flowers the most in his starts (10 in Week 6, nine in Week 8). In terms of the matchup, the Packers rank 18th on the season against receivers, but are 30th over the last four weeks. He's projected as the WR24 on RotoBaller's rankings, but has quite a high ceiling depending on game script.
