Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Tetairoa McMillan

Friday, November 14, 12:43 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles told reporters on Friday that wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) will be out on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Godwin has not played since suffering a fibula injury in Week 5, but the good news is that the 29-year-old was able to make progress this week and put in three limited practices. Godwin didn't make his season debut until Week 4 after dislocating his ankle in Week 7 of last year, and he played in just two games before getting hurt again. Although Mike Evans (collarbone) is potentially out for the regular season, the Bucs aren't going to rush Godwin back, and he might not return until early December. Even if he makes more progress in practice next week, fantasy managers shouldn't consider it a lock that Godwin will play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson should continue to see most of the targets with Godwin sidelined.

Tetairoa McMillan posted just adequate numbers but was Carolina's top wide receiver again in Week 10 against the Saints. The rookie WR totaled 11 Fantasy PPR Points with 60 yards on five receptions. Week 10 was the third time in the last five weeks that McMillan posted double-digit PPR points totals. Carolina's opponent for Week 11 is the Atlanta Falcons, who rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs this season. Atlanta has a run-funnel defense that allows 26.53 points to RBs this season, which ranks 29th in the league. Look for Carolina to rely more on their ground game this week. Despite Carolina's run-heavy approach, McMillan provides enough of a respectable statistical floor to be a starter in fantasy leagues.
