Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Jakobi Meyers

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.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen his production dip in recent weeks, as younger playmakers in the offense continue to carve out larger roles. In Week 4 against the Bears, Meyers caught just four of seven targets for 30 yards, with his longest reception going for only 10 yards. The outing marked his third consecutive game with declining yardage totals, raising concerns about his ceiling moving forward. Despite those struggles, Meyers still led the team in targets last week, showing he remains a trusted option for Geno Smith in the passing game. While the lack of big plays limits his upside, his steady volume keeps him relevant as a flex play, particularly in PPR formats. Fantasy managers should view Meyers as a safe but low-ceiling option heading into Week 5.
