Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Chris Godwin

Monday, November 3, 5:32 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was quiet in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Tennessee Titans, catching just two passes for 41 yards on five targets. His snap share has decreased for a second straight week as fellow wideout Ladd McConkey and rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden are seeing more opportunities. Still, Allen remains Justin Herbert's most trusted chain-mover. He might rebound next Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially if Herbert relies on quicker throws behind a battered offensive line. The Steelers' pass rush is improving, and Allen's reliability on short routes could keep him as a stable PPR option despite the reduced volume. Consider him a low-end WR3 with a consistent floor heading into Week 10.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Godwin missed the team's final three games before their Week 9 bye due to a leg injury, and it appears he may not be ready to return in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. It's beginning to look like somewhat of a lost season due to injury for Godwin, who also missed Tampa Bay's first three games of 2025 while recovering from the dislocated ankle that ended his 2024 season. In the two games he's played this season, Godwin has recorded six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets. If he remains sidelined in Week 10, Buccaneers rookie wideout Tez Johnson could maintain a sizable role in the team's offense. Johnson has recorded 10 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets over his last three games played. Veteran wideout Sterling Shepard and tight end Cade Otton are also candidates to be the team's number two pass-catcher behind star wide receiver Emeka Egbuka.
