Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Drake Maye

Friday, October 3, 5:08 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin put together a quiet season debut during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Godwin made his first appearance since suffering an ugly ankle injury that ended his season mid-way through last season. The 29-year-old hauled in three of his 10 targets for 26 yards during last week's loss. It wasn't an ideal performance, but Godwin figures to continue seeing a ton of targets. The Bucs are without both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Bucky Irving (foot) for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. That being said, Godwin figures to once again see a high volume this weekend. Fantasy managers in PPR formats should be able to trust him as a low-end WR2.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been playing some of the best football of his young career and should be deployed as a mid-range QB1 in most leagues during Week 5. He takes on the Buffalo Bills this week, and while that's a tougher matchup, it should at least lead to some garbage-time opportunities, if not steady, consistent production in a potentially close game. The Bills have actually been relatively soft this year, allowing the most rushing touchdowns and 13th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, as well as just one interception. That bodes well for Maye, who is the overall QB4 so far while contributing 988 passing yards, 98 rushing yards, nine total touchdowns, and two interceptions. Maye should be started in most fantasy leagues this week given his extreme success and relatively favorable matchup.
