The Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to activate ninth-year wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) from the Physically Unable to Perform list and have him on the 53-man roster to begin the season. The team is taking a cautious approach to his recovery from the gruesome ankle injury that ended his 2024 season and still considers him unlikely to play until October. By keeping Godwin off the PUP list to begin the year, they can accelerate his practice window, and the plan is for him to start practicing in Week 2, keeping him on his current recovery timeline. Godwin was the WR2 in PPR formats before his season ended prematurely in Week 7 of last year, and he is currently RotoBaller's WR52, making him a smart late-round pick in all leagues, but especially those with an injured reserve spot.

Cole Thompson of Texans Wire writes that Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk stood out during the team's two-minute offense in joint practice with th Carolina Panthers on Thursday and "has been the most consistent receiver in camp not named Nico Collins." Kirk is locking up the WR2 spot behind Collins, and "no one expected Kirk to be just an average receiver when the Texans traded for him this offseason." The 28-year-old's fantasy stock was down following an injury-plagued final season in Jacksonville in 2024 in which he played in only eight games and caught 27 passes for 379 yards and one touchdowns. It also didn't help that Houston drafted rookies Jayden Higgins (second round) and Jaylin Noel (third round) back in April. Kirk's fantasy demise might be premature, though, which could make him an excellent value pick later in fantasy drafts for WR depth.
