Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Keon Coleman

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that there isn't a specific timetable on wide receiver Chris Godwin's (ankle) return, but Bowles also noted he is "on track." Godwin's season ended in Week 7 last year when he suffered a dislocated ankle, and he hasn't been able to practice with the team at all. The 29-year-old was put on the Physically Unable to Perform list this week, although he can be activated at any time during training camp. The Bucs gave Godwin a three-year, $66 million deal back in March, so we'd be a bit surprised if he wasn't ready for Week 1 of the regular season this fall. However, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be at full speed by then, and he could very easily get off to a slow start if he's eased back in. The longer Godwin sits out in camp, the more of a risk he'll be in fantasy drafts, especially after Tampa took rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka in the first round in April.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has been impressed with second-year wideout Keon Coleman early in training camp. "He's taking that next step for sure. I mean today, dude put on a show," Shakir said. Coleman got off to an inconsistent start in minicamp, but he appears to have put that behind him early in camp. The Bills are hoping that the 22-year-old will take the next step in 2025 after he disappointed with 29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns in 13 regular-season games (12 starts). The good thing is that he averaged 19.2 yards per catch, and Amari Cooper is no longer on the team. If Joshua Palmer is used as more of the team's deep threat, Coleman could be freed up for more underneath routes and more yards-after-the catch potential. It's a good start in camp for a receiver that could be an excellent value pick in upcoming fantasy drafts.
