2025 Fantasy Outlook
Godwin was a perfect fit last year under new Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen, thriving as a low-aDOT (5.6), high-volume receiver (8.9 targets per game) who took more than 60 percent of snaps from the slot. He had career highs for PPR scoring average (19.7), receptions per game (7.1) and catch rate (80.6 percent) until it all came crashing down Week 7 when Godwin dislocated his ankle. There hasn't been much information on additional damage to the leg/ankle, nor any report of a recovery timeline, but the Bucs were confident enough to give him a new contract in March, shortly after his 29th birthday. It's a three-year, $66 million deal, with two-thirds of the money guaranteed at signing, putting Godwin in the same price range as long-time running mate Mike Evans. Tempting as it may be to chase last year's production, Godwin comes with some smaller concerns in addition to the big question mark surrounding his lengthy rehab from ankle surgery (he remained on the PUP list for all of training camp). Coen left this offseason, replaced by internal promotion Josh Grizzard, who will call plays for an offense that found a third threat at wide receiver when 2024 third-round pick Jalen McMillan came on strong in December/January. The Bucs then drafted Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka in the first round, adding a fourth viable option for WR snaps and further decreasing the likelihood of Godwin reprising his target workload from September/October of last year.

Targeting Week 4 debut
Godwin (ankle) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Jets, but he has a "strong chance" of making his season debut Week 4 versus the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Godwin will end up missing the Buccaneers' first three games of the season while he works his way back from a pair of procedures on the left ankle he dislocated Oct. 21, 2024, but he looks poised to make his return to the Tampa Bay lineup less than a year after suffering the devastating injury. The veteran wideout has already been a limited participant in five of the Buccaneers' last six practices, but Schefter relays that Godwin is expected to mix into drills with the team's other starters beginning in Week 4. If all goes well in practices Wednesday through Friday, Godwin should get the green light to suit up against the Eagles, providing quarterback Baker Mayfield with another playmaker to complement wideouts Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka (hip/groin) and running back Bucky Irving. Before dislocating his ankle, Godwin was well on his way to the best season of his career in 2024, as he produced a monstrous 50-576-5 receiving line on 62 targets through seven games.

Godwin has a three-year streak of 1,000-yard seasons and six in a row with at least 840 yards, despite missing two-to-four games each year from 2019 to 2022. Last season was his first time avoiding absences since he became a full-time starter in 2019, but it was also his worst effort in the five-year stretch for per-game production. Godwin averaged 4.9 catches for 60.2 yards per game, down from 6.9 for 68.2 the year before and 7.0 for 78.8 in 2021. He also scored just three touchdowns (including one on the ground) for a second straight season, and had 10 receiving TDs and two rushing TDs in 46 regular-season appearances over the past three years. Known for his excellent work out of the slot combined with a physical profile (6-1, 209, 4.42 40) that allows him to also succeed on the perimeter, Godwin surprisingly took just 32 percent of his snaps inside last year, down from 60 percent in 2022 and 53 percent in 2021. The Bucs attributed it to an effort to keep him healthy, though new offensive coordinator Liam Coen has already said he's moving the 28-year-old back to a primary slot role. That's the first piece of good news, with the other being that the Bucs are bringing back QB Baker Mayfield and didn't acquire significant new target competition for Godwin and Mike Evans in free agency. Whoever ends up in the No. 3 role -- be it Trey Palmer or someone new -- figures to spend more time on the perimeter, allowing Godwin to align in the slot where both his target rate and catch rate tend to be higher.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Another absence confirmed
Godwin, who is still recovering from an ankle dislocation he suffered last season, has been officially ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Jets, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Godwin continues to inch closer to his 2025 debut, as he was able to practice on a limited basis in all three sessions of Week 3 prep. The veteran wideout's availability would have been especially valuable for Sunday's game against the Jets, considering Emeka Egbuka could join Godwin and Jalen McMillan, who's on injured reserve due to a neck issue, on the sideline due to hip and groin injuries.
