2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Modest numbers in OT loss
Godwin secured five of six targets for 64 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Godwin co-led the Buccaneers in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards on the night. However, his target total, which was second on the night to Mike Evans' seven, was Godwin's lowest of the season through five games. Nevertheless, the veteran Penn State product has a critical role in coordinator Liam Coen's offense and next takes aim at a talented Saints secondary in Week 6 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Godwin's well-rounded skillset and primary slot role would seem to make him relatively QB-proof compared to other wide receivers, but the Bucs may be pushing it with their upcoming QB battle between veteran retread Baker Mayfield and 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask. While last year's highly disappointing season for the Bucs didn't prevent Godwin from catching 100 passes for the first time, it did contribute to a career lows in yards per catch (9.8) and yards per target (7.2) as well as a miserly total of three touchdowns. As did a perhaps quick return from a 2021 ACL injury. Mike Evans held up somewhat better from an efficiency standpoint, buoyed by one massive game, though he finished with 15 fewer targets than Godwin in the same number of games (15). Target competition improved for Godwin in August when Russell Gage suffered a season-ending injury in training camp, but it's the quality of the targets that truly concerns for Godwin's age-27 season ahead.
