Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) should see an increased number of offensive snaps in Week 13's game versus the Arizona Cardinals because the team is playing a home game on grass, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin was a limited participant in all three of Tampa Bay's practice sessions held during the week but no longer appears on the team's injury report. He had only two catches for nine yards in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams after having been sidelined since early October due to a fibula injury. For now, Godwin should be viewed as a risky flex option in deeper fantasy leagues because it remains uncertain what percentage of the Buccaneers' snaps he will be on the field for.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. (leg) will suit up for the second straight week after missing five games due to a leg injury. Godwin was limited last week as he played only 36 percent of the offensive snaps. During that time, Godwin hauled in two of his four targets for nine yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The expectation is that Godwin will see a larger workload going forward. However, it's unknown how well the Bucs will do passing the ball with Baker Mayfield (shoulder) dealing with an AC joint injury. Godwin wasn't impressive when he was healthy earlier in the season. Fantasy managers should put him on the flex radar for this upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was a limited participant in practice on Friday but has been cleared from the final Week 13 injury report and will play on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, according to the team's official website. The Buccaneers still have Godwin on their injury report after he returned in Week 12 for the first time since fracturing his fibula in Week 5. The 29-year-old only played 36% of the offensive snaps and caught two passes for nine yards in the Sunday night loss to the Los Angeles Rams as the team eased him back into the offense. He was limited on Wednesday and Friday but had a full session on Thursday. Tampa is expected to get Godwin more involved this weekend in a good matchup against Arizona, making him a more palatable, albeit still risky WR4/flex for fantasy managers in Week 13.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 28, but has been ruled out for Week 13. S Rashad Wisdom (quadriceps) fully participated in practice but has been ruled out. OG Ben Bredeson (hamstring), CB Jamel Dean (hip), RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder), QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder), LB Anthony Nelson (ribs) and LB Haason Reddick (ankle, knee) fully participated in practice but are listed as questionable. LB Lavonte David (non-injury) did not participate in practice but is not on the injury report. WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited during practice but is not on the injury report. WR Sterling Shepard (shoulder) and OT Tristan Wirfs (shoulder) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 28, but is not on the injury report for Week 13.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin returned to the lineup last week but was limited to two catches and nine receiving yards. He should be more involved as the weeks go on but may only be a possible flex option in fantasy leagues this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder), DE Anthony Nelson (ribs), G Ben Bredeson (hamstring), CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring), and LB Haason Reddick (ankle, knee) were limited in practice on Thursday, Nov. 27. CB Jamel Dean (hip), WR Chris Godwin (fibula), OT Tristan Wirfs (shoulder), RB Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot), WR Sterling Shepard (shoulder), and S Rashad Wisdom (quad) practiced in full on Thursday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited in practice on Thursday, Nov. 27.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin was limited snap wise in Week 12 and is likely to be on a snap count again as he works his way back from injury. He can be avoided in lineups until he is back to playing all offensive snaps, or at least a higher amount.

From TheHuddle

Nov 26 6:03pm CT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, Nov. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin made his return to the lineup in Week 12, after sitting since early October. He was limited to two receptions for nine yards on four targets against the L.A. Rams in his return. Even if he is healthy, at this critical juncture of the fantasy season, starting Godwin is very risky. Rookie Emeka Egbuka has emerged as the go-to option at receiver, but with Baker Mayfield also a question mark with a left shoulder injury, the Tampa Bay passing game is very muddy for fantasy purposes at the moment.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) and LB Anthony Nelson (ribs) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 26. OG Ben Bredeson (hamstring), CB Jamel Dean (hip), WR Chris Godwin (fibula), CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring), LB Haason Reddick (ankle, knee), and OT Tristan Wirfs (shoulder) were limited participants. RB Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot), WR Sterling Shepard (shoulder) and S Rashad Wisdom (quadriceps) were able to practice in full.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Godwin returned in Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams for the first time since suffering a fractured fibula in Week 5, but he's still being limited in practice as a precaution. In his first game back, Godwin played only 36% of the offensive snaps and caught two of four targets for nine yards. The 29-year-old shouldn't be in any real danger of missing this Sunday's Week 13 contest against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, and he should see more playing time in his second game back. However, Godwin should be viewed as more of a WR4/5 for fantasy purposes as he gets his legs underneath him, and he'll be a receiver to fade for a second straight week if quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is unable to play.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) looked "fine" in practice on Wednesday, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. The 29-year-old returned in Week 12 from a long injury layoff due to a leg injury and recorded two catches for nine yards on four targets in his team's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Godwin played just 36% of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps against the Rams, but Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that the team plans to ramp up his usage going forward. Across the three games he's been healthy for this season, Godwin has recorded eight catches for 61 yards on 18 targets. He's dealt with persistent lower-body issues since suffering a dislocated ankle in October 2024, so it's wise for fantasy managers to proceed with caution until Godwin proves he can maintain health for an extended stretch. Godwin remains tough to trust heading into the Buccaneers' Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, particularly with starting Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield's (shoulder) status in question due to a shoulder injury.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Chris Godwin came out of Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams fine, and the plan is to "ramp up his usage" for the next game in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Godwin played on Sunday night for the first time since fracturing his fibula back in Week 5. The 29-year-old pass-catcher was eased in, playing only 36% of the offensive snaps while catching two of his four targets for just nine yards. It's good news for his fantasy managers that his role will grow moving forward, but the problem is that starting quarterback Baker Mayfield might have to miss time with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. The Bucs have a good matchup upcoming against Arizona, but Godwin will be tough to trust in fantasy on Sunday if Mayfield is out.

Nov 23 11:03pm CT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin posted two receptions for nine yards on four targets in his return to the lineup in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Spin: It's hard to gauge Godwin's performance, as he lost starting QB Baker Mayfield at halftime due to injury, and it's uncertain how much he's worked with backup Teddy Bridgewater. The veteran is normally a must-start fantasy option when healthy, but he should be treated as a low-end WR3 or flex play in Week 13. He was reportedly working on a snap count in his return from fibula injury, so as long as there are restrictions, his fantasy ceiling is limited.

Nov 23 7:10pm CT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (fibula) is officially active for Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity this past Friday. Godwin has appeared in just two games this season, registering three catches for 26 yards in each of them. His latest absence spanned five games, but he's returning at a perfect time for the Bucs, who'll need all the help they can get against a strong Rams defense. Los Angeles has allowed the fourth-fewest touchdowns and 12th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Godwin ranks as an RB3/flex in his role behind Emeka Egbuka.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is active for the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin hasn't played since Oct. 5 due to a fibula injury. While he is expected to see a limitation on his snaps, he is in there getting his sea legs again. He should be trusted as a WR4 to start, as we don't know how limited his snaps will be.

From TheHuddle

Nov 23 9:20am CT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) will return to action for just his third game of the season during Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. Godwin reportedly suffered a hairline fibula fracture back in Week 5, resulting in a five-game absence. He's now back in action for Sunday's game and will operate as the Bucs' No. 2 receiver alongside Emeka Egbuka. Godwin has just six catches for 52 yards across his two healthy games earlier this season, so he'll look to return to his 2024 form from before his season-ending ankle injuries. He was off to an otherworldly start last year, catching 50 passes for 576 yards and five touchdowns over seven games. If Godwin can return to that level of play, he'll be a weekly top-10 receiver in fantasy football. For now, though, he ranks as the overall WR48 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is expected to be on a pitch count in Week 12's game versus the Los Angeles Rams, according to multiple sources.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging one limited practice session and two full sessions during the week. He is poised to play for the first time since Oct. 5, so fantasy owners should temper their expectations in his first game back. Godwin can be deployed as a desperation WR4 option in fantasy leagues this afternoon but it would be better to take a wait-and-see approach.

From TheHuddle

Nov 22 11:40pm CT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) is anticipated to have his snap count limited for Sunday's road matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Fowler notes that the Pennsylvania native "will likely be on something of a pitch count," as the team manages his reps following a five-game layoff. It makes sense that Tampa Bay would be cautious with the veteran's playing time, considering he's only appeared in two games thus far while working back from ankle and fibula injuries. For this week at least, teammates Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard will run behind Emeka Egbuka for the majority of snaps. If everything goes to plan, one, if not both, Johnson and Shepard would see a decrease in playing time moving forward as Godwin puts time between him and his injury. He's a shaky play in his first game back.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12, according to sources.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin hasn't played since early October, but with Mike Evans sidelined, Godwin could have a chance to make an immediate impact in his return. Taking a wait-and-see approach with Godwin in Week 12 is the ideal approach, but he could be a WR4 in a pinch.
