Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Jakobi Meyers

Friday, November 14, 12:43 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles told reporters on Friday that wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) will be out on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Godwin has not played since suffering a fibula injury in Week 5, but the good news is that the 29-year-old was able to make progress this week and put in three limited practices. Godwin didn't make his season debut until Week 4 after dislocating his ankle in Week 7 of last year, and he played in just two games before getting hurt again. Although Mike Evans (collarbone) is potentially out for the regular season, the Bucs aren't going to rush Godwin back, and he might not return until early December. Even if he makes more progress in practice next week, fantasy managers shouldn't consider it a lock that Godwin will play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson should continue to see most of the targets with Godwin sidelined.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers had three catches for 41 yards in Week 10 versus the Texans. Although he wasn't a safe fantasy option against a tough Houston defense, especially with it being his first game on a new team, fantasy managers were still hoping for more due to the absence of Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle). With a poor showing in the rear-view mirror, Meyers will look to get things going in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas is questionable for that one. If he doesn't suit up, Meyers has a chance to see more than the 27 offensive snaps he received in Week 10. Granted, he still wouldn't be an ideal fantasy option. However, the upside is there, so he should at least draw consideration from those with nowhere else to turn.
