Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or DK Metcalf

Wednesday, November 12, 7:01 PM

Updating previous reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was officially listed as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday, according to the team's website. Godwin wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media, but he did get onto the field later in the day, perhaps giving him a chance to play this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills for the first time since injuring his fibula in Week 5. The 29-year-old appears to be making progress, but head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that he didn't expect Godwin to play in Week 11. Both Godwin and running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) were limited, but it doesn't mean they'll be available versus the Bills. Tampa is taking a cautious approach with Godwin, who suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 7 of last year. Don't be surprised if he's not back until the calendar flips to December.

Over the past two weeks combined, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has scored just 6.6 half-PPR fantasy points. While there are reasons to be optimistic about the Steelers' offense against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, this matchup doesn't project to be a great one for Metcalf specifically. Cincinnati has surrendered six receiving touchdowns to opposing wideouts, and only one of them went to a clear WR1. In Metcalf's Week 7 meeting with the Bengals, he managed just three receptions for 50 yards. Because Metcalf has not exceeded five receptions in any contest this season, fantasy managers can't rely on volume when deciding whether to start him. The 27-year-old will probably need to hit pay dirt to provide value as a low-end WR2 or flex option this week.
