Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Chris Godwin

Saturday, September 13, 11:09 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs continues to have some fantasy appeal for Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins. Diggs was out-snapped and out-produced by Kayshon Boutte, but the veteran still turned in a solid showing of his own with seven targets, six catches, and 57 yards. We can expect similar usage and productivity from Diggs this week as he takes on the Dolphins, who were ripped to pieces by the Indianapolis Colts last week. There's still a good chance that Boutte and perhaps even Hunter Henry remain ahead of Diggs in the pecking order, but with a favorable matchup on tap, he can still carve out a fantasy-relevant role. He ranks as a low-end WR3/flex option this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) was listed as limited for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Godwin made his first appearance at practice this year last Thursday and was limited then, too, before sitting out on Friday. It's a good sign that the 29-year-old is limited to begin the week, but he is not expected to make his 2025 debut until sometime after Week 4 after dislocating his ankle in Week 7 of last year. Tampa is going to take things slow with Godwin, but he should be stashed in an IR spot in all fantasy leagues. Rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka has three touchdowns in his first two NFL games, but he could be in danger of missing Week 3 against the New York Jets after sitting out Wednesday's practice with groin and hip ailments. Sterling Shepard would operate as Tampa's No. 2 this Sunday if Egbuka is inactive.
