Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Chris Godwin

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen had a standout performance this Sunday against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars secondary, delivering his best game of the season. He recorded five catches for 41 yards and two touchdowns, marking his first touchdown as a Bear. After starting the season with an injury, Allen looks to have regained his health. His early-season heel injury had sidelined him for two of the first five games, and even after returning in Week 4, he didn't appear to be fully himself. Both touchdowns came in the red zone, highlighting his potential as a significant threat near the goal line when healthy. The Bears will enjoy a bye week next week before taking on the Commanders in Week 8.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) is set to undergo an MRI before surgery to repair his dislocated ankle on Tuesday, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The 28-year-old is likely to miss the remainder of the 2024 NFL season. Needless to say, this is an unfortunate development for Godwin, who looked to be on track for a career season. Godwin caught 50 passes for 576 yards and five touchdowns before going down with a serious-looking injury in the Monday Night Football loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Mike Evans (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury and exited in the first half, so the Buccaneers could be down to Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, and Trey Palmer in Week 8. Fantasy managers with Godwin should wait on official work, but he's likely to be droppable considering he likely won't return this year.
