Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Raheem Mostert

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) is targeting a Week 5 return as he continues to recover from surgery, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Godwin opens the season on the PUP list, but he hopes to return to game action after he misses the minimum four games. With that said, Rapoport noted that Week 6 or Week 7 could also be in play for Godwin's season debut. Whenever he does return, he'll add another weapon to a phenomenal receiving corps that also includes Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka. He'll rank as a high-end fantasy WR3 with top-15 upside.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert is inactive for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Mostert is healthy heading into the regular-season opener, so this is a bad sign for his potential involvement in the Raiders' backfield this year in his first year with the team. The Raiders drafted rookie Ashton Jeanty in the first round in April, and he's fully expected to lead Vegas' backfield in his first year in the NFL. The oft-injured Mostert has now been bumped down the depth chart and will open the year as the RB4 behind Jeanty, Zamir White and Dylan Laube. The 33-year-old veteran can be dumped if you were rostering him as a handcuff for Jeanty in redraft leagues. Mostert led the league with 18 rushing touchdowns in 2023 in Miami but played in 13 games last year and fell to just two TDs.
