Ten catches in wild-card loss
Godwin secured 10 of 13 targets for 85 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.
Analysis: Godwin paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, a fitting encore to a regular season in which he racked up a career-high 104 catches, along with 1,023 yards and three touchdowns, over 15 games. Godwin did average a career-low 9.8 yards per grab however, and he was once again consistently used in short areas Monday night. The veteran wideout figures to remain a key component of Tampa Bay's air attack in 2023, but the big question will be who he'll be catching…read more

Paces pass catchers in loss
Godwin brought in six of seven targets for 55 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Godwin paced the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets on a day when the starters played for only a portion of the first half. That allotment of playing time was enough for Godwin to post another solid performance, with Mike Evans' early exit due to an illness also helping his case for more targets. Godwin will head into next weekend's wild-card home playoff matchup having posted at least six grabs in all but two of 14 regular-season contests.

Nine catches in Week 17 win
Godwin secured all nine targets for 120 yards and recorded a two-point conversion catch in the Buccaneers' 30-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Were it not for the exploits of position mate Mike Evans, Godwin's performance would have been the talk of the afternoon for the Buccaneers. The trusted target checked in second across the stat sheet to Evans, and his two-point grab after Evans' third touchdown reception gave Tampa Bay a key three-point lead at the time. Godwin has at least eight catches in five of the last six games, while his yardage total was his highest of the season and leaves him just 32 yards short of the third…read more

Racks up catches in OT win
Godwin secured eight of 10 targets for 63 yards in the Buccaneers' 19-16 overtime win over the Cardinals on Sunday night.
Analysis: Godwin led Buccaneers wideouts in receptions and checked in third overall in receiving yards while tying Leonard Fournette for the team lead in targets. The sixth-year wideout has now logged double-digit looks in the passing game in three of the past five contests and has at least eight receptions in four of those games, making him a highly valuable PPR asset going into a Week 17 divisional clash against the Panthers that could decide the NFC South crown.

Makes most of eight targets
Godwin corralled all eight of his targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Godwin was able to convert all of his targets into receptions for the third time this year, boosting his season catch rate to a solid 70 percent in the process. It was just the 26-year-old's third touchdown of 2022, as the Bucs have struggled as a unit in the red zone. Godwin will look to build off this strong performance with a plus matchup looming against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Five catches against Niners
Godwin caught five of nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: On a rough day for the Tampa Bay offense, Godwin led the team in receiving yards, although most of it came on a 32-yard grab late in the second quarter. It's his fourth straight game with at least 50 yards, eighth straight with at least eight targets and 10th straight with at least five catches, giving him a reliable floor heading into a Week 15 clash with the Bengals.

Paces pass catchers in win
Godwin brought in eight of 13 targets for 63 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
Analysis: Godwin paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, serving as the workhorse of the pass-catching crew yet again. The veteran wideout recorded his final three catches on Tampa Bay's last two drives, and he actually had a five-yard touchdown grab with 19 seconds remaining erased by a holding call on Donovan Smith. Godwin now has six double-digit target tallies in the last seven games, and he should be in line for another very busy afternoon against a talented but…read more

Monster volume day in loss
Godwin secured 12 of 13 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin comfortably paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also securing the only touchdown among the team's wideouts. Godwin's score came from 10 yards out in the first quarter, his second trip to the end zone in as many games after not recording any in the first seven contests of the campaign. Godwin has no fewer than six receptions in any game since Week 1, giving him a very safe fantasy floor ahead of a Week 13 Monday night divisional clash against the Saints.

First touchdown of season
Godwin recorded six receptions on eight targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Godwin managed at least six receptions for the seventh consecutive game, though he showcased some more big-play ability. He caught what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown from four yards away early in the fourth quarter -- also his first of the season. In addition to the score, Godwin accounted for three of the Buccaneers' 10 longest plays from scrimmage, highlighted by gains of 19, 18 and 13 yards. With the performance, he's also topped 70 receiving yards in three of his last five…read more

Seven grabs in Sunday's win
Godwin caught seven of 10 targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.
Analysis: The sixth-year wideout has seen double-digit targets in four straight games and five of the last six, but despite that volume he has yet to reach 100 receiving yards in a game or score a TD. Godwin could be due to break out in a Week 10 clash with the Seahawks in Germany.

Another busy game Thursday
Godwin secured six of 11 targets for 75 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
Analysis: Godwin shared the lead in receptions and targets with Mike Evans, and he also had the second-longest catch of the night on a 44-yard grab that was just behind his teammate's 51-yard catch. The wideout has no fewer than six catches in five consecutive games, giving him a solid fantasy floor heading into a Week 9 road matchup versus the Rams a week from Sunday.

Seven grabs in Week 7 loss
Godwin brought in seven of 13 targets for 43 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin was second on the afternoon in receptions and targets for the Buccaneers but mostly limited to a short-area role, leading to his second-lowest yardage tally of the season. The veteran has compiled at least six grabs in four straight games, but he'll head into a Week 8 home showdown against the Ravens on Thursday night still searching for his first 100-yard game of 2022.

Season-high yardage total in loss
Godwin secured six of 12 targets for 95 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.
Analysis: Godwin co-led the Bucs in receptions while pacing the team in both receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, with the latter pair of tallies also qualifying as season highs. The veteran wideout has been very busy over the last three games after a quiet opener and a pair of absences in Weeks 2 and 3, posting a 19-215 line in that span. However, Godwin is still looking for both his first 100-yard game and touchdown, goals he'll look to accomplish in a Week 7 NFC South road battle against the…read more

Cleared for Sunday
Godwin (hip/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Godwin progressed from non-participation Wednesday to limited activity Thursday to full participation Friday. It's worth noting that his playing time was scaled way back last week after the Buccaneers jumped out to a 21-0 lead over the Falcons, with Scotty Miller getting more playing time than Godwin after halftime. A full workload is possible now that Godwin is further removed from both last year's ACL tear and his more recent hamstring injury, but there's also some change he's scaled back…read more

Gets day off Thursday
Godwin (hip/knee) logged a veteran rest day Thursday.
Analysis: On Wednesday, Godwin added a hip issue to his list of health concerns this season, practicing on a limited basis. After Thursday's day off, he'll aim to do enough at Friday's session to be cleared for game action. Even if he enters the weekend with a designation, though, there hasn't been any inkling that his status is in danger for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. As for the rest of the receiving corps, Julio Jones (knee) also didn't practice, Russell Gage (ankle) was limited, and Breshad Perriman…read more

Now dealing with hip issue
Godwin (hip/knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Previously, Godwin tended to hamstring and knee injuries this season, so the addition of a hip issue is a new reality for the sixth-year pro. The Buccaneers' receiving corps remains banged up, as Julio Jones (knee), Russell Gage (ankle) and Jaelon Darden (tooth) all didn't practice Wednesday. Godwin has gutted through his health concerns the last two games en route to 14 touches for 122 yards from scrimmage, and he'll look to do the same Sunday at Pittsburgh, assuming he gains clearance to play.

Seven total touches in win
Godwin secured all six targets for 61 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin tied for second on the team in receptions and checked in third in receiving yards on the afternoon, and just as importantly, he made it through a second consecutive game with his health intact. Godwin has been busy, albeit in a shorter-area role, over the last two games, leading to a 13-120 line on 16 targets. Godwin draws a favorable matchup against a vulnerable and injury-hampered Steelers secondary on the road in Week 6.

Cleared to play
Godwin (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Neither does Russell Gage, who was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury for each of the team's first four games (he played in all four). Godwin, on the other hand, missed two games with a hamstring injury, returning Week 4 with a 7-59-0 receiving line on 10 targets and 83 percent of snaps in a 41-31 loss to the Chiefs. He could have a similar role this weekend against a Falcons defense that's cycled a few defensive backs through the slot this year while keeping starting CBs A.J.…read more

Still limited Thursday
Godwin (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: The Buccaneers' receiving corps continues to boast a handful of banged-up players, with all of Godwin, Julio Jones (knee), Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring) having a cap in their reps this week. With regard to Godwin, he's coming of a 7-59-0 performance on 10 targets in the team's Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, so he'd be in line for a large target share Sunday against the Falcons if he's available. Friday's injury report could clear up his status entering the weekend.

Tending to knee issue
Godwin (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Godwin sat out Weeks 2 and 3 due to a strained hamstring, only to return this past Sunday against the Chiefs. After hauling in seven of 10 targets for 59 yards in the 41-31 loss, he's now tending to a knee issue, which may be the same one in which he tore his ACL last December. In any case, Godwin was joined by Julio Jones (knee), Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring) as limited participants Wednesday, so murkiness again surrounds the Bucs' receiving corps and who may…read more

Gritty performance in SNF loss
Godwin (hamstring) had seven receptions (10 targets) for 59 yards in Sunday's 41-31 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Godwin came into the game on a hobbled leg and suffered another injury scare late in the third quarter, according to JC Allen of the Pewter Report. The talented wideout was able to return to the game after a brief absence, and it appeared that he was favoring his midsection as opposed to it being his ailing hamstring acting up. Godwin appeared to have escaped the game without a serious setback heading into a matchup against the Falcons next Sunday.

Returns to action Sunday
Godwin (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Chiefs.
Analysis: Godwin sandwiched a rest day Thursday around a pair of limited sessions, officially entering the weekend as questionable to play for the first time since straining his hamstring Week 1. Now that he's back in the lineup, he'll join Mike Evans at the top of the depth chart, while Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) mix into the passing game and Breshad Perriman (knee) and Scotty Miller (coach's decision) sit out.

Optimism for Sunday
Godwin (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs but remains a game-time decision, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Godwin and Julio Jones (knee) are both listed as questionable but expected to suit up Sunday, as long as things go well in pregame warmups. However, the timing of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. E.T. kickoff still poses a challenge for fantasy managers making lineup decisions, especially as Godwin and Julio appear to be true game-time decisions. It's also possible Godwin's reps could be limited as a precaution, even if he is cleared to take the field.

Analysis: It's a suboptimal situation for fantasy managers with three of Tampa's top four wide receivers listed as questionable for the Sunday night game, though Russell Gage (hamstring) at least seems highly likely to play through his injury for a fourth straight week. Godwin and Julio Jones (knee), on the other hand, will be treated as game-time decisions, according to coach Todd Bowles.

Coach Todd Bowles said Godwin (hamstring) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Chiefs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bowles said the same is true for Julio Jones, who was a limited practice participant all week after missing the past two games with a hip injury. Breshad Perriman, meanwhile, will be listed as doubtful with a hamstring issue, though he might've been sliding back to a depth role this week even if he'd remained healthy. Godwin appears truly questionable entering the weekend and likely will be listed as such on the Bucs' final injury report.

Analysis: One day removed from logging a limited practice for the first time since injuring his hamstring in the season opener, Godwin got the day off Thursday.

Analysis: Godwin hasn't practiced since injuring his hamstring in the season opener. He's no lock to be back for Week 4 against Kansas City, though the Bucs haven't commented on his availability (or lack thereof) beyond Week 3. They'll be shorthanded at wide receiver this weekend, with Mike Evans suspended and each of Julio Jones (knee), Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) listed as questionable.

Unlikely to play
Godwin (hamstring) missed another practice Friday and appears unlikely to play Sunday against the Packers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Godwin is on track for a second straight absence, while teammate Julio Jones (knee) is expected to be a game-time decision after missing last week. Russell Gage figures to continue playing through a hamstring injury and taking most of the slot snaps, with Scotty Miller and Breshad Perriman (knee) likely getting more work on the perimeter in the presumed absence of both Godwin and Mike Evans (suspension).

With Mike Evans (suspension) unavailable Sunday versus the Packers and Julio Jones (knee) working on the side Friday, Tampa Bay's receiving corps again could be severely depleted Week 3.

May have avoided major injury
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Godwin's hamstring injury isn't as severe as they feared, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Godwin secured all three of his targets for 35 yards before being ruled out at halftime of Sunday night's win. Initial reports suggested that he would miss at least a few weeks, but Bowles remains optimistic that the star wideout could return sooner than later, saying Godwin's absence is just a matter of how he responds to treatment. Regardless, Godwin also just recently cleared his rehab from a torn ACL, so Tampa Bay likely will be extremely cautious with him moving forward. If Godwin is…read more

Ruled out with hamstring injury
Godwin (hamstring) will miss the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Godwin was evaluated at halftime and deemed out for the rest of the game. It's unclear whether this injury was related in any way to his recovery from a torn ACL, as Godwin came back from that injury earlier than expected. Godwin's absence should pave the way for Russell Gage and Julio Jones to see more playing time alongside Mike Evans. The next chance for Godwin to play will come in Week 2 against the NFC South rival Saints.

Clear for Week 1 action
Godwin (knee) is listed as active Sunday in Dallas, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: While Godwin was able to log two full practices (around one DNP) during Week 1 prep, coach Todd Bowles predictably treated the sixth-year pro as a game-time decision as he closed in on his return from the torn ACL and sprained MCL in his right knee that he suffered Week 15 of last season. In the end, both Godwin and the team's medical staff had to sign off on him suiting up, and he'll do just that to kick off the campaign.

Could be on snap count Week 1
Godwin (knee), who is listed as questionable but expected to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys, could be on a snap count for the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Godwin was a full participant in Friday's practice, but the Buccaneers haven't yet officially cleared him for Week 1 while he makes his way back from the torn ACL and MCL sprain in his right knee he suffered in December. Though Godwin should ultimately gain clearance when the Bucs release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, the team looks as though it could continue to take a cautious approach to his early-season usage and ramp up his snap share as the 2022…read more

Listed as questionable
Godwin (knee) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Coach Todd Bowles said he'd treat Godwin as a game-time decision, likely leaving fantasy managers to do the same. The full practice Friday would normally mean a green light, but that doesn't necessarily apply to a guy coming back from an ACL tear. Godwin also was a full participant Wednesday, before sitting out Thursday entirely. Bowles added both Godwin and the team's medical staff will need to sign off on him playing, with the final decision likely coming down to whether the wide receiver…read more

Treated as game-time decision
Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Godwin (knee) could be a game-time decision, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Godwin was a full practice participant Wednesday and a non-participant Thursday, before finishing out the week in a non-contact jersey at Friday's session, according to Laine. It's unclear if this is gamesmanship or if he'll truly be treated as a game-time decision, but it does seem Godwin is unlikely to be ready for his accustomed every-down role even if he ends up playing Sunday night against the Cowboys. The late kickoff (8:20 p.m. ET) does fantasy managers no favors.

No practice Thursday
Godwin (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After being considered a full participant at Wednesday's session, Godwin seemed to be setting himself up to make a far quicker than expected return from the torn ACL and sprained MCL that he suffered in his right knee Week 15 of last season. Now, the wide receiver himself expects a decision on his availability for a Week 1 road matchup with the Cowboys to be a game-time decision.

Logs full practice Wednesday
Godwin (knee) practiced in full Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Godwin has made a speedy recovery from the torn ACL and the MCL sprain that he sustained in his right knee Week 15 of last season, handling team drills as soon as Aug. 22 before practicing without a brace this week. The sixth-year pro continues to don a non-contact jersey during drills, which could mean he heads into the weekend with a designation of some sort. In the end, though, Godwin appears as if he'll be available for Sunday's season opener at Dallas.

Practicing without knee brace
Godwin (knee) was spotted at Monday's practice without a brace on his right leg, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Godwin's health continues to progress in the right direction as Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys draws nearer, and to see him practice without a brace on his surgically repaired right knee is notable. It looks like a real possibility that Godwin could be available Week 1, though if he does suit up, a reduced snap count could be on the table. The Buccaneers' first set of injury reports of the 2022 campaign will shed more light on Godwin's status.

Health continuing positive trend
Godwin will not play in Saturday's preseason contest, but the veteran receiver does appear to have growing confidence in his surgically repaired knee, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It would have been a major surprise to see Godwin actually play in Saturday's preseason contest, but all indications seem to indicate the star wide receiver could be available for Week 1. Expect more information regarding Godwin's availably to emerge during the team's first set of injury reports, which will precede the Sept. 11 season opener.

Does full-team work sans contact
Godwin (knee) took a step forward Monday, participating in 11-on-11 drills with a non-contact jersey, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While he won't play in any preseason games, Godwin seemingly has a shot to be cleared for contact before Week 1. At that point, the Bucs would assess him in practice to determine if he's game ready, with the team set to kick off its season Sunday, Sept. 11 against Dallas. It's possible Godwin plays but on a reduced snap count, especially after the Bucs added Julio Jones to give them a fourth starting-caliber wide receiver in addition to Godwin, Mike Evans and Russell Gage (leg).

Godwin (knee) is handling 7-on-7 work in Tuesday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Godwin is participating in 7-on-7 work for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair his right ACL, a notable step forward from individual drills. The Buccaneers will doubtless continue to take a cautious approach with Godwin's recovery, but his progress is good news for the team, especially with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Russell Gage (leg) not practicing this week.

Likely out for Saturday
Godwin (knee) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Dolphins, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Godwin has been running routes throughout training camp and participating in positional drills, but the star wideout has yet to play in meaningful game situations, something that's not expected to change Saturday. The Buccaneers are expected to rest the majority of their top pass catchers, opening the door for Tyler Johnson, Cyril Grayson and Scotty Miller to get extended run.

Practices for second straight day
Godwin (knee) ran full-speed routes during individual and positional drills for the second consecutive day in Saturday's practice, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: The recovering receiver's rehab process is coming along as well as could be expected at this juncture, with head coach Todd Bowles emphasizing how effectively Godwin is moving around just nine months removed from his ACL injury. The team will naturally continue to exercise considerable caution with Godwin, but the fact the Week 1 clash against the Cowboys is still over a month away seemingly gives him a fighting chance of playing at least a limited role in that contest.

Very limited in first practice
Godwin (knee) appeared limited to straight-line running and individual drills Friday in his return to practice, Greg Auman of The Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: This is to be expected in his first practice tearing an ACL on Dec. 19. Godwin presumably has done cutting/agility work as part of his rehab process, but the Bucs don't want him pushing it in the more competitive atmosphere of a team practice. The plan, it would seem, is to ramp him up over the next five weeks, with eyes toward Week 1 against Dallas.

Returns to practice
Godwin (knee) returned to practice Friday, sporting a knee brace in his first session since suffering an ACL tear last December, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's a big step forward and all but confirms that the Bucs hope to have Godwin ready for Week 1. The timing of his injury toward the end of last season has made that a question mark, but all reports suggests his rehab has gone well, with avoidance of the PUP list at the beginning of training camp being an especially good sign. He's now practicing, though perhaps on a limited basis, with more than five weeks to go before Tampa's season opener against Dallas.

Analysis: Stroud notes that the Bucs will be careful with Godwin, who had surgery Jan. 3 for a torn ACL. He didn't participate in spring practices and may be eased in this summer, but the decision to keep him off the PUP list suggests Godwin has a shot to be ready for Week 1.

Making progress, still no timeline
Reports on Godwin's rehab from an ACL tear have been encouraging, but the Bucs haven't commented on when they expect him back, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: As expected, Godwin missed spring practices while rehabbing the major knee injury he suffered Dec. 19. Auman suggests the star wideout has a chance to open the regular season on the 53-man roster, though there's also some danger he'll land on the PUP list and miss the first six games. With Godwin uncertain for Week 1 and Rob Gronkowski retired, QB Tom Brady may have to lean on Mike Evans, Russell Gage, Cameron Brate and the Tampa running backs early in the season.

Reaches $60 million deal with Bucs
Godwin (knee) agreed to a three-year, $60 million contract extension with the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Tampa Bay applied the franchise tag on Godwin last week for the second consecutive year, but the two sides were quickly able to come to an agreement on a longer-term deal. The 2017 third-round pick will receive $40 million guaranteed and is set to return to the open market in 2025, when he'll be 29 years old. Godwin is recovering from the torn ACL and sprained MCL in his right knee he sustained Week 15, so his availability for the start of the 2022 campaign still appears to be in question.

Currently, he's in recovery mode from the torn ACL and sprained MCL that he sustained in his right knee back in Week 15.

Analysis: Godwin, who is recovering from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee, looks like he will stick with Tampa Bay for the 2022 campaign under the team's franchise tag. That would mark the second consecutive year that Godwin has received the tag, so his salary would count $19.2 million against the cap.

Heads to IR
Godwin (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Godwin's move to IR was inevitable after head coach Bruce Arians confirmed Monday that the wideout suffered a torn ACL in addition to an MCL sprain in his right knee during the Buccaneers' Week 15 loss to the Saints. The transaction opens up a spot on the 53-man roster for fellow wideout Antonio Brown (ankle), who returns from a three-game suspension and could absorb a good portion of the 9.1 targets per contest Godwin had averaged through Tampa Bay's first 14 games.

Season over with torn ACL
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians announced Monday that Godwin (knee) will miss the remainder of the season after he was diagnosed with a torn ACL in addition to an MCL sprain, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Early tests on the right knee injury Godwin sustained in Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Saints revealed that he was dealing with only the MCL injury, but a follow-up MRI on Monday detected more serious damage. The 25-year-old will soon undergo surgery to address the injury, an unfortunate development as he heads into free agency this spring. He appeared in 14 games for the Buccaneers in 2021 and recorded 98 receptions -- eight shy of the franchise single-season record -- for 1,103 yards and five…read more

Godwin (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Godwin was active before getting hurt in the second quarter, catching six of seven targets for 49 yards. He got hit in the knee while making the sixth catch. Godwin immediately made his way to the medical tent and was later spotted testing the knee out by running on the sideline. With fellow wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) doubtful to return, Tom Brady's working with a depleted group of pass-catchers.

Analysis: Godwin has had some eye-popping lines before in his now nearly two seasons of working with Tom Brady, but Sunday's performance nevertheless jumped off the page. The fifth-year veteran easily led all pass catchers across the board during what was his fourth 100-yard effort of the campaign, with three of those instances coming in the last six games.

That play gave him three scores in his last four outings, all of which have seen teammate Antonio Brown (ankle) sidelined.

Godwin (foot) brought in seven of eight targets for 57 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-19 loss to Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: While some of his other offensive teammates looked like they still had a bit of bye-week hangover, Godwin, playing through a foot issue, checked in second on the Bucs in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The fifth-year wideout has been consistently busy of late, as he now has at least seven receptions and eight targets in four of the last five games.

Analysis: For the second straight day, the Buccaneers submitted an estimated report for their walkthrough session, with Godwin maintaining limited activity. The fact that he is nursing a pair of injuries is less than ideal with the Buccaneers facing a quick turnaround for Thursday's game in Philadelphia, but head coach Bruce Arians hasn't yet suggested that the receiver is any danger of missing the contest. If Godwin is listed as a full participant on Wednesday's report, he'll stand a good chance of…read more

Appears on injury report
The Buccaneers listed Godwin as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report with knee and ankle injuries, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Tampa Bay provided no indication that Godwin was banged up coming out of Sunday's 45-17 win over the Dolphins, with the wideout playing 51 of 74 offensive snaps (69 percent) and recording seven catches for 70 yards on a team-high 11 targets. Assuming he upgrades to full participation in practice by Wednesday, he should approach Thursday's game against the Eagles without a designation.

Seven catches in Week 5
Godwin caught seven of 11 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 45-17 win over Miami.
Analysis: Godwin paced the Buccaneers in targets, but Mike Evans and Antonio Brown each needed just eight targets to score two touchdowns apiece, while Godwin remains stuck on two touchdowns this season. With at least 55 receiving yards in every game, Godwin has a tremendous floor while working as a key cog in the high-powered Buccaneers passing attack. He'll look to end his three-game touchdown drought Thursday in Philadelphia.

Five targets in Sunday's win
Godwin had three receptions (five targets) for 55 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Godwin surprisingly finished tied for fourth in targets amongst all Tampa Bay receiving options, resulting in his lowest yardage output through four weeks this season. Tom Brady had his worst passing performance of the year against his old club, so the receiving numbers were down across the board. The 25-year-old has been a consistent fantasy producer while co-starting with Mike Evans, so there is little to worry about regarding a rare dud from the Buccaneers' air attack. Godwin gets a…read more

Posts 74 yards
Godwin recorded six receptions on seven targets for 74 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Rams. He also added one rush for two yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: With Antonio Brown (COVID-19) sidelined and Tom Brady taking to the air 55 times, Godwin's relative lack of volume is a bit disappointing. However, Godwin still made the most of his opportunity, posting 10.6 yards per target and recording big gains on catches of 21 and 17 yards. With his rushing score, he now has found the end zone in each game this season. He's also displayed a strong floor as a receiver, posting no fewer than 62 yards through three games. In Week 4, Godwin and the Buccaneers…read more

Another TD in Week 2 win
Godwin brought in four of five targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 48-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin checked in second only to Mike Evans in receiving yardage while sharing runner-up status in receptions with Rob Gronkowski and Leonard Fournette. The fifth-year wideout also found the end zone for the second time this season early in the fourth quarter, notching a key 12-yard scoring grab after the Falcons had closed the Buccaneers' lead to three points. Godwin will aim to continue the strong start to his season in a tough Week 3 road matchup against the Rams.

Overcomes key turnover
Godwin brought in nine of 14 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: The talented fifth-year pro's fumble inside the five-yard line with 5:04 remaining not only cost Godwin and the Buccaneers a touchdown, but for a moment, it also appeared capable of leading to what would have been a relatively shocking season-opening home loss. The Cowboys took the ball and marched 60 yards in 11 plays following Godwin's miscue to kick a go-ahead field goal before Tampa Bay's own 11-play drive, which featured a key 24-yard reception by the wideout, positioned the Bucs for a…read more

Cleared for Thursday
Godwin (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Limited by quad issue Tuesday
Godwin was added to the Buccaneers' injury report after a quadriceps issue limited his activity in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: Godwin didn't appear on the Bucs' initial Week 1 injury report released Monday, so his limited showing a day later suggests an in-practice injury. The team will see what Godwin is able to do in the final practice of the week Wednesday before a determination is made whether he'll carry a designation into Thursday's Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys.

Provides several splash plays
Godwin recorded three receptions on three targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason contest against Houston.
Analysis: Godwin joined the team's first-string offense for three drives and delivered an impressive performance in the preseason finale. He recorded receptions of 32, 28 and 24 yards, the last of which went for a trip to the end zone. Godwin will now turn his entire focus to a Week 1 matchup against Dallas, and he should be in line for plenty of targets while playing alongside Mike Evans and Antonio Brown.

Poised to sit out Saturday
Godwin isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Godwin suited up for the Bucs' exhibition opener this past Saturday, playing only six offensive snaps on the first possession of the game. The same can be said for Tom Brady, Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski. Bruce Arians mentioned Monday that the starters won't play this weekend, but Brady was the sole name uttered by the coach. As a result, it's safe to say Godwin will join his QB on the sideline Saturday.

Godwin (undisclosed) is present and participating at Friday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Godwin was sitting out practice earlier this week for undisclosed reasons, but he's back on the field for Friday's session, though his participation level remains unclear. There's no real injury concerns for the 25-year-old at this point as the Buccaneers prepare for the preseason opener Aug. 14 versus the Bengals.

Analysis: Laine adds that Godwin looked very good over the first two days of camp, so physical injury doesn't appear to be the explanation for Tuesday's absence. However, the fifth-year wideout isn't dealing with any COVID-related issues either, as Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times relayed that Godwin was present as an observer but without a helmet.

No deal before deadline
Godwin and the Buccaneers were unable to reach agreement on a long-term contract before Thursday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Panthers OT Taylor Moton was the only franchise-tagged player to sign a long-term contract in the days/hours leading up to the deadline. The Bucs reportedly intend to continue negotiations with Godwin next offseason, but he'll first play out 2021 under a franchise tender for $15.98 million. While the Bucs have a deep group of pass catchers, Godwin and Mike Evans both figure to see at least seven or eight targets per game from QB Tom Brady.

Working toward long-term deal
Godwin and the Buccaneers will continue discussions Wednesday, hoping to reach agreement on a long-term contract before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET deadline for franchise-tagged players, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: If no deal gets done, Godwin will be locked in for a $15.98 million franchise tender. The Bucs already have a host of veteran players on expensive contracts, but given that most of those expire after 2021 or 2022, it's easy enough to make room for Godwin if they backload cap hits on his long-term deal. The 25-year-old wide receiver played 12 games in the regular season and four more in the playoffs in 2020, catching 81 of 116 targets for 1,072 yards and eight touchdowns in 16 appearances…read more

Signs franchise tender
Godwin signed his franchise tender Wednesday morning, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: This means Godwin is officially under contract and can be fined if he holds out from training camp or games. In other words, the wideout knows it won't come down to that, figuring he'll sign a long-term contract or else play out 2021 under a franchise tag for $15.9 million. The second option typically would be undesirable for a player of Godwin's caliber, but it makes more some sense this offseason, with the wideout coming off an injury-marred campaign and the market for free agents impacted by…read more

Godwin is getting a franchise tag, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Godwin has acknowledged this possibility and stated that he'll play out 2021 under the franchise tag if he doesn't get a new contract. Both parties likely prefer a long-term agreement, but that it doesn't necessarily mean it will be easy to agree on specifics before the negotiation deadline, which usually is set at July 15. Either way, Godwin won't be a free agent this offseason.

Godwin recently indicated he would be willing to play the 2021 season under the franchise tag if necessary, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: According to Laine, the franchise tag appears to be "where things are headed" for Godwin this offseason, as the move would afford the Buccaneers some more salary-cap flexibility in the short term. Godwin's franchise tender would be worth around $16.5 million for 2021, and accepting the tag wouldn't rule out of the possibility of the wideout eventually reaching a longer-term deal with Tampa Bay.

Pair of grabs in Super Bowl LV win
Godwin secured two of four targets for nine yards during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin had a disappointing conclusion to his 2020 season and postseason from an individual perspective, but the fourth-year wideout undeniably played a pivotal role in the team's championship run. He hauled in 65 of 84 targets for 840 yards and seven touchdowns over 12 regular-season games, quickly developing a rapport with Tom Brady and also generating a 5-110-0 line during the NFC Championship Game win over the Packers.

Godwin secured five of nine targets for 110 yards and rushed once for six yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Godwin's receptions, receiving yards and targets paced the Buccaneers on the afternoon, and his one carry, which came on third down with 48 seconds remaining, ensured Tampa Bay would become the first team in NFL history to play a Super Bowl in its home stadium. The fourth-year wideout also had a team-high 52-yard grab early in the second quarter a play prior Leonard Fournette's 20-yard touchdown rush that marked Tampa Bay's second score, and he made a clutch 11-yard grab on a key fourth-quarter…read more

Godwin brought in four of seven targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a relatively quiet day for the Buccaneers' air attack, which had been hitting on all cylinders in the latter stages of the regular season and in last week's wild-card win over Washington. Therefore, Godwin's catch total actually tied for second highest on the evening for Tampa Bay, but his yardage tally served as his lowest since Week 14 and his second lowest of the regular season and postseason overall.

Analysis: Bogged down by injuries during the first half of the season, Godwin has been in a groove of late, scoring touchdowns in four consecutive contests.

Godwin is tending to a pair of issues this week, but the fact he got in some reps Wednesday likely indicates he's trending in the right direction.

Finds end zone in win
Godwin brought in five of 12 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.
Analysis: As the pedestrian catch rate implies, Godwin had some uncharacteristic struggles with drops Saturday, but he worked around them enough to still turn in a solid line fantasy-wise. His longest catch of the night resulted in a touchdown, with Godwin recording a 27-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter to extend Tampa Bay's lead to 15-7 at the time. Godwin will look to continue to clean up the shaky hands and up his efficiency in a divisional-round matchup next weekend.

Godwin ultimately recorded six fewer catches than his speedy teammate, but he compiled just five fewer yards thanks in large part to a game-high 47-yard reception.

Analysis: Godwin previously missed the Buccaneers' Week 8 win over the Giants after undergoing surgery on his fractured left index finger, but the report doesn't specify whether the follow-up procedure will cost him any time.

Godwin caught seven of 10 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 27-24 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Godwin trailed only Antonio Brown for Tampa Bay's lead in receptions, targets and yards through the air. However, unlike Brown, Godwin was able to find the end zone, triumphantly leaping from a few yards to complete a 13-yard score in the fourth quarter. That play marked Godwin's third touchdown in seven appearances this season, and Monday also brought about a new high in targets from quarterback Tom Brady, which bodes well for Godwin in advance of Week 12's matchup against the Chiefs.

Though the Buccaneers seemingly expect the wideout to return to the lineup after sitting out the Week 8 win over the Giants, Godwin could still be listed as questionable when Tampa Bay releases its final injury report of the week later Friday.

Remains limited at practice
Godwin (finger) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Though Godwin's ability to practice on a limited basis for the second day in a row is a welcome sight, his activity in Friday's session will ultimately be the deciding factor in whether he returns from a one-game absence Sunday versus New Orleans. Head coach Bruce Arians noted that Godwin will attempt to catch passes Friday, marking the first time he's been cleared to do so since undergoing surgery on his fractured left index finger last week. If Godwin experiences no issues with catching and…read more

Officially limited Wednesday
Godwin (finger) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Coach Bruce Arians indicated earlier in the day that Godwin would be a full participant in the Buccaneers' first Week 9 practice, but the team's official injury report told a different story. At the very least, Godwin ability to handle even limited reps is encouraging, though Arians noted that the Buccaneers wouldn't known until Friday whether the receiver will be able to catch passes with his surgically repaired left index finger, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. Of course, the…read more

Practices fully, but status TBD
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said Godwin (finger) participated fully in Wednesday's walk-through practice, though the receiver didn't catch passes during the session, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. "We won't know until Friday if he can catch a ball," Arians said of Godwin.
Analysis: While a player's full participation to begin the week of practice normally bodes well for his chances of gaining clearance for game action, Arians' comments imply that Godwin's status will still need to be monitored heading into the weekend. Godwin, who is looking to return from Oct. 27 surgery to repair a fractured left index finger, has been Tom Brady's favorite target when he's been healthy this season, with the wideout producing 25 receptions for 279 yards and two touchdowns over the four…read more

Viewed as '50-50' for Week 9
Godwin (finger), who has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, is believed to have a "50-50" chance of suiting up in the Buccaneers' Week 9 contest against the Saints, a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: Prior to undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured index finger on his left hand, Godwin was initially told by doctors that he would be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks. After pins were placed in his finger as part of the procedure, however, doctors adjusted Godwin's timetable, estimating that the wideout would miss only 1-to-2 weeks. That timeline now leaves the door open for Godwin to suit up Week 9, but his availability may come down to what he's able to do in the Buccaneers' next three…read more

Out Week 8 after finger surgery
Godwin is slated to miss the Buccaneers' Week 8 game against the Giants after undergoing surgery Tuesday to address a fractured left index finger, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Though Godwin wasn't forced to exit early Sunday in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders, the wideout apparently sustained the injury on his touchdown catch with 7:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. He finished the contest with nine receptions for 88 yards on nine targets while playing 59 of the Bucs' 72 offensive snaps. According to Stroud, Godwin's surgery went without a hitch and his prognosis is good, leaving the Buccaneers optimistic he'll be ready to return to action Week 9 against…read more

Team-leading catch total in win
Godwin hauled in all nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin's catch total led the Buccaneers on the afternoon and both his reception and receiving yardage tallies served as his highest of the campaign as well. The fourth-year wideout also recorded his second touchdown of the season on a four-yard grab with 7:22 remaining in the contest, making it his best all-around fantasy outing of 2020. Godwin's target share is expected to take a hit to a degree whenever Antonio Brown (suspension) gets fully integrated into the offense beginning Week 9, but…read more

Removed from injury report
Godwin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Godwin returned to the lineup last week and caught five of seven targets for 48 yards while playing 63 percent of offensive snaps. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday this week, but there isn't any concern about his availability for the game. It is possible Godwin continues to see his workload monitored, rather than handling snap shares in the 85-to-100 percent range the way he did all of last season.

Reps capped again
Godwin (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Both Godwin and Mike Evans (ankle) have been limited in the Buccaneers' first two practices of Week 7, but head coach Bruce Arians hasn't suggested that either wideout is at any real risk of sitting out Sunday's game in Las Vegas. If Godwin follows the same practice pattern from last week, he'll upgrade to full activity Friday and avoid carrying an injury designation into the matchup with the Raiders.

Limited practice Wednesday
Godwin (hamstring) is listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: In his first appearance since Week 3 this past Sunday against the Packers, Godwin logged a 62 percent share of offensive snaps en route to finishing with five catches (on seven targets) for 48 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win. Assuming he escapes the week of practice with no further setbacks with the hamstring, Godwin should take on a larger snap share this weekend in Las Vegas.

Five grabs in return
Godwin caught five of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Packers.
Analysis: The Bucs' defense dominated for most of the afternoon, leaving little for the team's passing game to do, but Godwin was still able to draw solid target volume in just his third appearance of the year. Expect the game script to be a little more favorable, and Godwin to be more productive, in Week 7's road tilt against the Raiders.

Analysis: Coach Bruce Arians said he expected the star wideout to return this week, and we now have confirmation after Godwin upgraded to full practice participation Friday. He'll make his first appearance since Week 3, teaming up with Mike Evans to give Tom Brady a formidable duo at wide receiver. Godwin has 11 catches for 143 yards and a touchdown in his two games this year.

Should be able to play
Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that he thinks Godwin (hamstring) will return for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It sounds like the wide receiver will be treated as a game-time decision, but with a general sense of optimism that he'll be able to suit up. Godwin was a limited practice participant both Wednesday and Thursday, taking a tangible step forward after he was a non-participant all last week. A 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff isn't ideal for fantasy purposes, but it is possible Godwin's status becomes clear before Sunday afternoon.

Still limited at practice
Godwin (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: For the second day in a row, the Buccaneers listed Godwin with LP next to his name.

Godwin (hamstring) is listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: After missing the past two games due to a strained right hamstring, Godwin is putting himself in a position to return to action Sunday versus the Packers. He'll have two more chances to increase his level of participation in practice before the Bucs give him a designation for Week 6. Meanwhile, Mike Evans (ankle) was listed as a non-participant, Scotty Miller (hip/groin) was limited and Justin Watson (chest) was full, indicating the varying levels of health in Tampa Bay's receiving corps.

While another update on the extent of Godwin's participation won't be known until the Buccaneers release their first Week 6 injury report Wednesday, the fact that he was on the field while donning a helmet Tuesday -- albeit off to the side rather than with the main group -- represents a meaningful step forward in the recovery process.

Analysis: As expected, Godwin won't be available to the Buccaneers in Week 5 due to a strained right hamstring. Justin Watson (chest) also won't play, so the receiving corps likely will be led by Mike Evans (ankle) and Scotty Miller (hip/groin), both of whom are listed as questionable.

With Godwin out of the lineup this past Sunday against the Chargers, Scotty Miller (hip/groin) stepped up and had five catches (on seven targets) for 83 yards and one touchdown.

Analysis: Godwin joined Mike Evans (ankle), Scotty Miller (hip/groin) and Justin Watson (chest) as DNPs to kick off Week 5 prep. There's an expectation Godwin doesn't suit up Thursday at Chicago, but it'd be a great sign for his health if he's able to get back on the practice field this week. In Godwin's stead, Miller racked up five catches (on seven targets) for 83 yards and one touchdown Sunday versus the Chargers.

Analysis: In a report from Jenna Laine and Dan Graziano of ESPN.com early this past week, it was rumored that Godwin was in line to miss multiple games, the result of the Bucs having two games in a five-day span. Indeed, Godwin didn't suit up Week 4, and now his standing will be monitored with just a handful of days to prepare for the Bears.

Analysis: Reports earlier this week suggested Godwin was in danger of missing multiple games, and it doesn't help his cause that the Bucs play on Thursday Night Football against the Bears in Week 5. He didn't practice at all this week, so a return for the Thursday game doesn't seem especially likely. Fellow wideout Justin Watson has been cleared to return from a shoulder injury for Sunday's game, while Scotty Miller (hip) appears questionable.

Analysis: After sitting out the Bucs' Week 2 win over Carolina with a concussion, Godwin returned to action last weekend in Denver, but he was forced out of the contest in the third quarter with the right hamstring injury. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Godwin underwent an MRI earlier this week that revealed a minor strain, and given that the wideout also missed time late last season with a hamstring issue, the Buccaneers may be incentivized to take things slowly with him.

Analysis: It sounds like the wide receiver likely will miss Sunday's game against the Chargers and then possibly the team's Thursday night game in Chicago on Oct. 8.

Analysis: Godwin was quickly ruled out of Sunday's win over the Broncos upon suffering his hamstring injury, and he'll now receive an MRI to officially diagnose the severity of the issue. In the event that Godwin is forced to miss any time and rehab on the sideline, Scotty Miller will take over in the slot as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Mike Evans.

Won't return Sunday
Godwin is ruled out to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a hamstring injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. He finished the game with five receptions (on six targets) for 64 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Godwin managed to clear the concussion protocol in time to suit up versus Denver, but he's now been ruled out in the fourth quarter due to what appears to be a right hamstring strain. It's somewhat worrying that Godwin was ruled out mere minutes after leaving the field, but it's worth noting that the Buccaneers are also nursing an 18-point lead with less than 14 minutes of play remaining. In the meantime, Scotty Miller stands to see increased looks as the No. 2 receiver across from Mike Evans.

Mike Evans may not have been 100 percent for the contest after battling a hamstring strain early in the week, creating more opportunities for Godwin, but there's no guarantee Brady's 43-year-old arm will be able to take full advantage of Evans as a downfield threat even when he's healthy.

Analysis: With Godwin having failed to practice in any fashion Tuesday through Thursday, he'll carry an injury designation into Saturday's matchup with the Texans if coach Bruce Arians doesn't officially rule the receiver out when he meets with the media at the conclusion of practice. In addition to Godwin's expected absence Saturday, the Buccaneers will be missing Mike Evans (hamstring) and Scott Miller (hamstring), who were moved to injured reserve earlier this week. That leaves Breshad Perriman and…read more

No practice reps Wednesday
Godwin (hamstring) was held out of practice Wednesday.
Analysis: The results of Tuesday's MRI on Godwin's hamstring are unknown, but the wide receiver hasn't stepped on the practice field yet this week. The Buccaneers are three days out from their Week 16 matchup with the Texans, so Godwin seems to be in danger of donning street clothes this weekend. With Mike Evans and Scott Miller landing on injured reserve Tuesday due to their own hamstring injuries, Tampa Bay may have to rely on Breshad Perriman and Justin Watson as its top options at wide receiver.…read more

Not practicing Tuesday
Godwin (hamstring) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Godwin was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, so the Buccaneers will presumably hold him out of practice until his test results are known. Even if the MRI clears Godwin of any significant damage to his hamstring, the Buccaneers don't seem to be counting on the wideout making it back on a short week, as Tampa Bay hosts the Texans on Saturday. With Mike Evans and Scott Miller also sidelined to begin the week with hamstring injuries of their own, the Buccaneers are down to Breshad Perriman,…read more

Getting MRI on Tuesday
Godwin (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After Godwin was forced out early in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Lions, coach Bruce Arians expressed concern that the wideout's hamstring injury could end up costing him some time. An official timeline for Godwin's return isn't likely to emerge until the results of the MRI are read, but fantasy managers should probably prepare themselves to be without the 23-year-old for Week 16 matchups. With fellow star receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) and depth option Scotty Miller (hamstring) also looking…read more

Hamstring injury similar to Evans'
Coach Bruce Arians called Godwin's hamstring injury "not good" following Sunday's 38-17 win at Detroit, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Just one game removed from fellow wideout Mike Evans suffering a serious hamstring injury, the same fate befell Godwin. Prior to Godwin's departure in the third quarter, he racked up what ended up being a team-best 121 yards on his five catches (seven targets). If Godwin and Evans are out of the lineup Saturday against the Texans, their combined 17.6 targets per game on the campaign will be available for the likes of Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman to take on. Meanwhile, Scott…read more

Won't return Sunday
Godwin (hamstring) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game in Detroit and won't return, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Buccaneers wide receivers are dropping like flies. First, Mike Evans sustained a serious hamstring injury Week 14 and didn't take the field Sunday. Then, second-year slot receiver Scotty Miller was ruled out of this contest with a hamstring concern of his own. Godwin himself suffered a hamstring issue, leaving Tampa Bay with just Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman at the position.

Bump in volume likely on tap
Godwin is likely to see an increase in his average of 8.7 targets per game with Mike Evans (hamstring) expected to miss the last three contests of the season.
Analysis: Jeremy Fowler of ESPN cited a team source in a Tuesday report that indicates Evans will be sidelined for the Buccaneers' last three games "barring unexpected improvement" in his badly pulled hamstring. Any Evans absence should equate to a bump in workload for Godwin, who was just behind his teammate's team-high pace of 9.1 targets per contest. Godwin has proven efficient with his opportunities -- he owns a solid 71.7 percent catch rate -- so a handful of additional targets in coach Bruce…read more

Paces pass catchers in win
Godwin brought in seven of nine targets for 91 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yardage and targets for the afternoon, but on a day when Jameis Winston comfortably eclipsed 400 passing yards, the receiver's day could arguably be considered somewhat underwhelming from a fantasy perspective. Nevertheless, Godwin's yardage tally was his second highest since Week 6, so it did represent a nice bump over his average in recent weeks. Additionally, with Mike Evans having suffered what may be a serious hamstring injury Sunday,…read more

Quiet in Week 13 victory
Godwin secured four of six targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin crashed back down to earth after his eye-popping 7-184-2 line in the Week 12 win over the Falcons, with Jameis Winston getting Breshad Perriman (5-87) and O.J. Howard (5-60) involved at an atypically high rate Sunday. Despite the downturn, Godwin has the ability to pop off on any given week, and with no fewer than six targets in nine straight games, a robust role in the offense is all but guaranteed each time he suits up. The third-year wideout will look to bounce back with better…read more

Monster performance in Week 12 win
Godwin brought in seven of eight targets for 184 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin got his day started in earnest with a beautiful 71-yard touchdown grab in extremely tight coverage midway through the first quarter, giving the Buccaneers their first points of the contest. He'd eventually also make another impressive catch in much closer quarters, bringing in a one-yard scoring throw in the second quarter on a play where the ball appeared to carom into his hands off the defender's body. Godwin eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season with his stellar afternoon, one…read more

FInds end zone in loss
Godwin hauled in three of six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin put together another relatively modest stat line, but his 30-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter boosted his day from a fantasy perspective. The third-year wideout hadn't crossed the goal since Week 5 in a game against this same Saints squad, and he's now failed to eclipse 100 yards in four consecutive contests. Godwin will look to build on Sunday's score against the Falcons in a Week 12 divisional showdown.

Solid six-catch effort
Godwin brought in six of 12 targets for 74 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin certainly had plenty of opportunity for a bigger game, as he paced the team in targets with what was his second-highest number of looks this season. However, the third-year wideout was only able to come up with half of them, much of it based on Jameis Winston's inaccuracy, which led to an interception on one of those misfires involving Godwin. The Penn State product has followed up a three-game streak of 100-yard efforts with three consecutive games under that threshold, so he'll look to…read more

Tallies seven grabs in Week 9 loss
Godwin brought in seven of nine targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: Godwin saw teammate Mike Evans once again steal the spotlight, with the latter turning double-digit targets into double-digit receptions for the second straight week. Godwin did check in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Evans, but he was once again utilized in much closer proximity to the line of scrimmage on his way to 8.7 yards per grab. While his final line wasn't particularly remarkable, Godwin did see a good bump in production after mustering a more modest 4-43 line in…read more
