Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Garrett Wilson

Saturday, October 18, 12:51 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (fibula) will miss his second straight game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions due to a fibula injury. Godwin missed the first three weeks of the 2025 season while still recovering from a lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season. He recorded six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets across Weeks 5 and 6, but it appears he's still having lower-body issues that will keep him on the sidelines. Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) are both game-time decisions in Week 7, so Tampa Bay's wide receiver room is in flux. If one or both of Evans and Egbuka are out, the Buccaneers will likely rely on at least one of Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, and/or Kameron Johnson for wide receiver production against Detroit.

Updating a previous report, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is listed as doubtful to play on Sunday in Week 7 versus the Carolina Panthers, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. A previous report suggested Wilson had already been ruled out for this weekend. The 25-year-old will most likely not be on the field this Sunday at MetLife Stadium after hyperextending his knee in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos in London. The good news for the Jets and for fantasy managers, though, is that Wilson could be in play to miss only one game and return in Week 8 to face the Cincinnati Bengals. With Wilson likely out this weekend, Josh Reynolds (hip) and rookie tight end Mason Taylor figure to draw most of the attention from quarterback Justin Fields, who is planning to be more aggressive as a passer as the Jets seek their first victory of the year. At best, Reynolds will be a volume-based WR4/flex streamer in fantasy.
