Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Rashee Rice

Monday, November 24, 4:02 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Chris Godwin came out of Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams fine, and the plan is to "ramp up his usage" for the next game in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Godwin played on Sunday night for the first time since fracturing his fibula back in Week 5. The 29-year-old pass-catcher was eased in, playing only 36% of the offensive snaps while catching two of his four targets for just nine yards. It's good news for his fantasy managers that his role will grow moving forward, but the problem is that starting quarterback Baker Mayfield might have to miss time with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. The Bucs have a good matchup upcoming against Arizona, but Godwin will be tough to trust in fantasy on Sunday if Mayfield is out.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Kansas City Chiefs listed wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) as limited on Monday on their estimated injury report with a hamstring issue. Rice is a little banged up coming out of Sunday's overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts, making his status for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys worth monitoring. The 25-year-old was heavily involved in KC's game plan in Week 12, catching eight of his 12 targets for a season-high 141 yards, although he was unable to find paydirt. Xavier Worthy (ankle) was also listed as limited, but we expect both pass-catchers to be active in Dallas this week. As long as Rice is active in Week 13, he should be considered a must-start in fantasy lineups, especially against a porous Dallas secondary. Rice scored three touchdowns in his first two games, but he is now on a three-game touchdown drought. If active, Rice could feast on Thursday.
