Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Tucker Kraft

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.

The Green Bay Packers are searching for ways to expand tight end Tucker Kraft's role in the passing game, according to Mark Oldacres of Packers Wire. Kraft took a step forward in his second season in 2024, recording 50 catches for 707 yards and seven touchdowns. However, Oldacres notes that 101 of his 118 career targets have been either behind the line of scrimmage or in the short area (zero to 10 yards). Heading into 2025, the coaching staff in Green Bay is working on how to get Kraft more involved down the field. Between Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, the Packers have a deep group of wide receivers, but none of them are cemented as a true go-to target for quarterback Jordan Love. If Kraft can grab hold of a larger share of the pass-game volume in Green Bay, he's talented enough to be a difference-making fantasy tight end.
