Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Brandon Aiyuk

Friday, July 5, 6:08 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have said they plan to use wide receiver Chris Godwin more in the slot in 2024 after shifting him outside last year with an eye on avoiding injuries. It's the same role Cooper Kupp had with the Los Angeles Rams when Liam Coen was running the offense in LA. Godwin did manage to stay healthy last year, and in so doing he posted his third straight 1,000-yard season with 83 receptions on 130 targets, although he disappointed by scoring just two touchdowns in 17 starts. The 28-year-old has been more effective in his career while operating out of the slot and he'll have continuity at quarterback with Baker Mayfield re-signing this offseason. Injuries are always a concern when it comes to Godwin, but with a move back to the slot in 2024, he'll certainly be an attractive fantasy selection as a low-end WR3/high-end WR4/flex this fall.

Reports stated that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk would attend 49ers training camp, but Aiyuk was seen in shorts and a t-shirt while observing practice on the first day of camp. Aiyuk awaits a resolution regarding his contract status as he is looking for a contract in line with some of the top players at wide receiver. Aiyuk has formally requested a trade to the team, but the team is not budging in their wanting to keep the 26-year-old Aiyuk. Without a trade, Aiyuk will play in San Francisco on his fifth-year option where he's put up two straight 1,000-yard campaigns and enters 2024 as a low-end WR1 if he plays this season in the Bay Area.
