Who Should I Start? Leonard Fournette or Chris Godwin

Monday, November 11, 12:22 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals are working out veteran free-agent running back Leonard Fournette on Monday. The Bengals apparently are considering adding to their RB room after Zack Moss (neck) suffered a season-ending injury in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, despite trading for Khalil Herbert at the deadline last Tuesday. Chase Brown should operate as the team's unquestioned lead back moving forward, with Trayveon Williams as the RB3 behind Brown and Herbert. If the Bengals were to add Fournette, he'd almost certainly start on the practice squad before potentially working his way onto the active 53-man roster as additional RB depth. The 29-year-old veteran played in two games with the Bills in 2023 and has 12 carries for 40 yards on the ground. There's no guarantee that Lenny would find a significant role in Cincy if he were to be signed.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) didn't practice again on Friday and will be ruled out for the Week 10 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Godwin is slowly making progress, but he's still not ready coming out of the bye and will miss a fourth straight game this weekend. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Thursday that the Bucs are taking their time with the 29-year-old pass-catcher, and he might not return until late November or early December. Tampa is thin at the receiver position with veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) potentially out for the rest of the year, but the team isn't going to rush Godwin back after he suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation in Week 7 of last year. With Godwin out again this Sunday, rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson, and Sterling Shepard will work in starting three-wide sets.
