No Timetable For Chris Godwin's Return - Will he be Ready for Week 1?

Wednesday, July 23, 5:19 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that there isn't a specific timetable on wide receiver Chris Godwin's (ankle) return, but Bowles also noted he is "on track." Godwin's season ended in Week 7 last year when he suffered a dislocated ankle, and he hasn't been able to practice with the team at all. The 29-year-old was put on the Physically Unable to Perform list this week, although he can be activated at any time during training camp. The Bucs gave Godwin a three-year, $66 million deal back in March, so we'd be a bit surprised if he wasn't ready for Week 1 of the regular season this fall. However, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be at full speed by then, and he could very easily get off to a slow start if he's eased back in. The longer Godwin sits out in camp, the more of a risk he'll be in fantasy drafts, especially after Tampa took rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka in the first round in April.

Rome Odunze Responible for Big Plays, Giving Bears Offense Flexibility

Tuesday, July 29, 7:52 PM

Chicago Bears second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze has been the recipient of some of the offense's best plays so far in training camp, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic writes, and his skill set will give new head coach Ben Johnson flexibility because of the way Odunze can win one-on-one matchups. "To me, he fits that prototypical 'X' receiver where you can line him up outside the numbers and, provided he gets a one-on-one with a corner, he's going to win most of his matchups, slant routes, stop routes, go routes, the whole route tree outside the numbers," Johnson said. The new head coach continues to praise the 23-year-old, which is why the Bears coaching staff is expecting a big Year 2 leap from Odunze. There will be stiff target competition in Chicago's offense, but with Keenan Allen now gone, Odunze should definitely have lots more upside as a WR3/flex in 2025.
