As the 2025 NFL Draft wrapped up, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appeared to be blessed with a massive amount of depth at the wide receiver position. With Chris Godwin nursing injuries through the offseason and into the season, the Buccaneers offense hasn’t been as full of firepower as in 2024. 

The Buccaneers have just skated past the Falcons and Texans in the first 2 weeks and could really use Chris Godwin. With injuries to their offensive line, Godwin would be helpful for quick hitting routes. Godwin had 3 top-8 WR finishes in 7 games played last season.

The Buccaneers get the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4. Despite the need for Godwin, Bakery Mayfield has managed well. To the delight of Emeka Egbuka fantasy managers, Godwin’s absence has allowed Egbuka to rise as a fantasy asset.
