Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) is missing a second straight practice this week on Friday, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Godwin didn't make his 2025 debut until Week 4 after recovering from a dislocated ankle he suffered in Week 7 of last year. The 29-year-old played in only two games before injuring his fibula, and now he's on track to miss a second straight game in Week 7 when the Bucs take on the Detroit Lions on Monday night. Additionally, rookie Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) is expected to sit out, leaving Tampa's receiving corps pretty thin. The good news is that they could be getting Mike Evans (hamstring) back for the first time since Week 3. Still, even if Evans returns, he could be on a pitch count, leaving plenty of targets for the likes of Sterling Shepard, Kameron Johnson, Tez Johnson, and tight end Cade Otton. It's unclear if Godwin will be able to return in Week 8 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (head) cleared the league's concussion protocol, was upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday, and was removed from the final Week 7 injury report, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Despite suffering a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Harrison will play this Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. Although the 23-year-old will be active this weekend, it looks like he might be taking passes from veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett for the second straight week with Kyler Murray still battling a foot sprain. However, with Harrison and Murray struggling to find improved chemistry for the second straight season, a Brissett-Harrison connection may actually be a plus for fantasy purposes. The Packers' defense has been a middle-of-the-pack unit against opposing receivers in terms of fantasy points per game.
