Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or DeVonta Smith

Monday, November 24, 4:02 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Chris Godwin came out of Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams fine, and the plan is to "ramp up his usage" for the next game in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Godwin played on Sunday night for the first time since fracturing his fibula back in Week 5. The 29-year-old pass-catcher was eased in, playing only 36% of the offensive snaps while catching two of his four targets for just nine yards. It's good news for his fantasy managers that his role will grow moving forward, but the problem is that starting quarterback Baker Mayfield might have to miss time with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. The Bucs have a good matchup upcoming against Arizona, but Godwin will be tough to trust in fantasy on Sunday if Mayfield is out.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith could only haul in one of his five targets last week against Detroit, finishing with a season-worst eight yards. It's safe to say it can't get much worse than this for Smith, and a peak could be following this valley with his upcoming face-off against the Cowboys. Dallas has allowed 23 touchdowns through the air in their 10 games, which is the second-most in the league. They've also given up over 250 passing yards in a game five times. Smith did struggle in his first bout against the Cowboys-with his 16 yards being his previous season-low before last Sunday's Lions game-but trust him to get back into the groove he was in over the last few weeks. He's a low-end WR2 this week.
