Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Maintains key role in WR corps
Ahead of the coming season, Godwin is projected to work primarily out of the slot in a WR corps that also features Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan, River Wells of SI.com and Andrew Harbaugh of USA Today report.
During the 2025 regular season, Godwin -- who was limited to seven contests in 2024 -- put up a 33-360-2 line on 51 targets in nine games. The 30-year-old reportedly was a standout during OTAs and heads into training camp with no lingering injury concerns, which sets him up to maintain a key role in a Tampa Bay WR corps that no longer includes Mike Evans, who is now a member of the 49ers. In his continued role out of the slot, Godwin should provide fantasy lineup utility in 2026, particularly in PPR formats, while Egbuka -- a 2025 first-rounder who can line up all along the formation -- brings intriguing upside to the table in his second pro season, which is reflected in his current average draft position. Meanwhile, Jalen McMillan -- who will look to rebound from a 2025 campaign that was abbreviated by a neck injury -- is a candidate to see his share of targets on the outside, with Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson also in the mix to carve out roles in the passing game.

Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Entering camp as WR1?
Godwin appears the favorite to emerge as Tampa Bay's top wide receiver during training camp, River Wells of SI.com reports.
Godwin was a standout during OTAs and minicamp, consistently drawing targets while working from the slot. Following Mike Evans' departure to San Francisco, the 30-year-old is the clear veteran leader of Tampa Bay's receiving corps and could remain Baker Mayfield's most trusted target even if Emeka Egbuka takes a step forward in Year 2. Behind Godwin and Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, rookie third-round pick Ted Hurst, running backs Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell, and tight end Cade Otton are all competing for targets. Injuries limited Godwin to seven games in 2024 and nine in 2025, but he remains positioned for a prominent role after signing a three-year, $66 million deal last offseason.

Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Leads WR room post-Evans
Godwin is the veteran leader of Tampa Bay's WR room following Mike Evans' departure to San Francisco, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
The Bucs signed Godwin to a three-year, $66 million contract last offseason, at which time he was rehabbing from a complicated leg/ankle injury. He ended up playing just nine games in 2025, finishing with a 33-360-2 receiving line, which was a massive drop-off from his 2024 line of 50-575-5 (in only seven games). Prior to the severe injury, he'd been well on his way to a fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season. Godwin now has a shot to get back to that kind of volume, though it's far from guaranteed at age 30, coming off consecutive injury-shortened seasons. Emeka Egbuka may be ready to take over as the No. 1 receiver in Tampa Bay, while there will be additional competition for targets coming from Jalen McMillan, running backs Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell, and tight end Cade Otton. The Bucs could also add a wide receiver in April's draft, with the 15th overall pick or a later selection. Godwin's 2026 base salary of $22 million is already guaranteed, and the Bucs hold a club option for 2027 worth a $20.5 million base salary with a $1.5 million roster bonus.
