Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Marquise Brown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was given a limited tag in Wednesday's practice. Godwin wasn't seen during the portion of practice open to the media, but he eventually got in some work as he continues to work his way back from a fibular injury that has kept him out since Week 5. The 29-year-old was also limited in three practices last week before he was ruled out for the Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that Godwin was "ramping up" his activity level, but he's probably going to need to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday to have a realistic chance at returning to action on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. With only two games played so far in 2025, Godwin will most likely be eased back into the offense when he's cleared, which might not be for another couple of weeks.

After failing to reach 50 receiving yards in any game between Week 2 and Week 8, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown hauled in two catches for 73 yards on four targets in his team's Week 9 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy ahead of him on the Chiefs' wide receiver depth chart, Brown's upside coming out of Kansas City's Week 10 bye is limited. He has not earned more than four targets in any game since Rice returned from the suspension that sidelined him for the first six games of 2025. Brown's big-play ability allows him to maintain some level of fantasy relevance. Still, he will be difficult to trust on a week-to-week basis as long as Kansas City's top pass-game targets can stay on the field. The Chiefs have a tough matchup in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos, making Brown a player for fantasy managers to avoid.
