Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Cedric Tillman

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) missed his team's Week 7 loss to the Lions on Monday Night Football, and even though he's recovering, Coach Todd Bowles didn't seem confident the veteran receiver will be ready to return in Week 8 against the Saints. With a bye week in Week 9, the Bucs may play it safe with Godwin, who played two games after returning from his dislocated ankle and broken fibula suffered last season. This leg injury is in a different place, according to Bowles, but he still looks like a long shot to play in Week 8. If Godwin is out again, he'll join Mike Evans (collarbone) on the sidelines, leaving lots of work for rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson, while Cade Otton would also stay more involved as a pass-catching tight end option.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Cleveland Browns are placing wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on the injured reserve. The former third-round pick suffered this injury during their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Tillman will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed wide receivers Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster. Through four games, Tillman operated as a starting option in the passing attack and caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two scores. However, with Tillman slated to miss time, fantasy managers should expect veteran Jerry Jeudy to take the lead role in the offense, while rookie Isaiah Bond is expected to see a larger target share.
