Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Tee Higgins

Wednesday, September 17, 6:41 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) was listed as limited for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Godwin made his first appearance at practice this year last Thursday and was limited then, too, before sitting out on Friday. It's a good sign that the 29-year-old is limited to begin the week, but he is not expected to make his 2025 debut until sometime after Week 4 after dislocating his ankle in Week 7 of last year. Tampa is going to take things slow with Godwin, but he should be stashed in an IR spot in all fantasy leagues. Rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka has three touchdowns in his first two NFL games, but he could be in danger of missing Week 3 against the New York Jets after sitting out Wednesday's practice with groin and hip ailments. Sterling Shepard would operate as Tampa's No. 2 this Sunday if Egbuka is inactive.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught three of his four targets for 33 yards in the win over the Cleveland Browns. The wideout has been known to have some off weeks throughout his career. However, he wasn't the only one who struggled, with Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards. Teammate, Ja'Marr Chase, didn't play much better, with the former LSU Tiger amassing only two grabs. All things considered, the Bengals likely did some work during the week leading up to Sunday's clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, meaning there is a good chance the offense turns it around. While that doesn't mean Higgins will see the most attention from Burrow in Week 2, there's still reason to believe he'll perform at a higher level, considering Sunday's contest may be the highest-scoring game on the schedule.
