Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Nico Collins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) will continue to rehab with trainers and will not participate in team activities as he recovers from last season's ankle injury. The 29-year-old suffered a dislocated ankle in Week 7 of last year. He re-signed with the Bucs to a three-year, $66 million contract this offseason. The news puts a damper on hopes of reuniting the veteran tandem of Godwin and Mike Evans heading into the 2025 campaign. Godwin was productive when healthy last season, posting 576 receiving yards and five touchdowns in just seven games before landing on injured reserve. His status for the start of the regular season is now in question as the Bucs monitor his recovery. Jalen McMillan and Emeka Egbuka would see an increase in target share if Godwin isn't ready by Week 1.

The Houston Texans restructured the contract of star wide receiver Nico Collins, clearing $9.8 million in salary cap space for 2025. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, it was a simple restructure. Last offseason, Collins signed a three-year, $72.75 million contract extension with Houston following a 1,297-yard receiving season. The former Michigan Wolverine posted 1,006 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in just 12 games in 2024. With Stefon Diggs likely out of Houston entering next season, Collins is poised for another strong year as quarterback C.J. Stroud's No. 1 wide receiver.
