Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Amon-Ra St. Brown

Saturday, October 18, 12:51 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (fibula) will miss his second straight game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions due to a fibula injury. Godwin missed the first three weeks of the 2025 season while still recovering from a lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season. He recorded six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets across Weeks 5 and 6, but it appears he's still having lower-body issues that will keep him on the sidelines. Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) are both game-time decisions in Week 7, so Tampa Bay's wide receiver room is in flux. If one or both of Evans and Egbuka are out, the Buccaneers will likely rely on at least one of Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, and/or Kameron Johnson for wide receiver production against Detroit.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a consistent producer so far this season, hauling in 44 catches for 452 yards and six touchdowns on 51 targets through six games. The 25-year-old has recorded at least seven targets and seven catches in five straight contests. St. Brown could be set up for another high-volume day in Week 7, as the Lions will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that profiles as a shootout. The Bucs currently rank 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) and have allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40-plus yards (four). The last time these two teams squared off in Week 2 of the 2024 season, St. Brown earned a whopping 18 targets, hauling in 11 catches for 119 yards. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.
