Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Malik Nabers

Wednesday, October 23, 10:12 AM

The NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) will undergo surgery on Wednesday to repair his dislocated ankle. Rapoport noted that tests done leading up to surgery were "as good as they could've been," according to sources. Additionally, there is an outside shot Godwin could return in 2024, depending on how late in the winter the Bucs play. However, the likelihood of such an outcome is not very good. With fellow wideout Mike Evans (hamstring) expected to miss time through Week 11, Tampa Bay is suddenly reeling on offense. It'd not be surprising to see the team seek veteran help, but in the meantime, wide receivers Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer, and Sterling Shepherd will attempt to fill the void. Running back Rachaad White and tight end Cade Otton should also continue to see an uptick in usage.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers delivered a solid performance in Sunday's 14-11 loss to the New Orleans Saints, recording five receptions for 79 yards on 10 targets. Nabers tied for the team lead in receptions and averaged an impressive 15.8 yards per catch, including a critical 23-yard grab on the final drive to set up a potential game-tying field goal that was unfortunately blocked. Earlier in the fourth quarter, he added a crucial two-point conversion reception to bring the Giants within three points with 4:11 left. While he didn't find the end zone, Nabers' 12.4 fantasy points highlighted his role as a reliable and dynamic option in an offense that struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
