Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Rome Odunze

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) didn't practice again on Friday and will be ruled out for the Week 10 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Godwin is slowly making progress, but he's still not ready coming out of the bye and will miss a fourth straight game this weekend. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Thursday that the Bucs are taking their time with the 29-year-old pass-catcher, and he might not return until late November or early December. Tampa is thin at the receiver position with veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) potentially out for the rest of the year, but the team isn't going to rush Godwin back after he suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation in Week 7 of last year. With Godwin out again this Sunday, rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson, and Sterling Shepard will work in starting three-wide sets.

Chicago Bears second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle, heel) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been cleared to play this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants in Week 10, according to the team. Odunze played through a heel in last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals and added an ankle injury on Sunday. The 23-year-old did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before upgrading to full practice on Friday. It's good news that he won't be missing this weekend's tilt, but fantasy managers have to be a little concerned that Odunze didn't have a single catch last week despite the team putting up 47 points against a porous Bengals defense. Despite the donut in Week 9, fantasy managers should have Odunze in their starting lineups this weekend, as he's tied for the team lead in targets (31) and leads the Bears in receptions (59), receiving yards (473), and touchdowns (five) in eight games this year.
