Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Romeo Doubs

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs led his team with 68 receiving yards on two catches (four targets) in a 27-13 Week 1 victory over the Detroit Lions. Perhaps most notably, Doubs was on the field for 34 of his team's 48 plays, earning 11 more snaps than the Packers' second-leading wide receiver, Matthew Golden (23 snaps). Green Bay was one of the league's most run-heavy teams in 2024, and Packers quarterback Jordan Love attempted just 22 passes in Week 1 of 2025. As such, fantasy managers need to try to find volume within the team's deep wide receiver corps. Early on, it looks like Doubs could be Green Bay's WR1, although that may not lead to a true WR1 target volume. Until the Packers demonstrate a willingness to throw the ball more often, it will be hard for fantasy managers to trust any of their pass-catchers.
