Godwin’s practice update points to a potential Week 5 return, shaping the Buccaneers’ WR hierarchy and fantasy upside. His absence has nudged targets toward Evans and the in-season plan, with Godwin’s presence likely restoring a higher floor for the TB passing game.

Godwin dislocated his ankle last season and has been sidelined since Week 7. He’s off IR, progressing in practice, and a Week 5 return is targeted, with Week 6/7 possible if there’s a setback. He’s a high‐upside WR2 when healthy, especially in PPR formats, as the Buccaneers rely on volume in the passing game alongside Evans.

Godwin continues rehabilitation from a dislocated and/or broken ankle with a Target return around Week 5-6. Expect a measured return and potential decoy-style involvement early on, with the rest of the receiving corps handling primary responsibilities until Godwin is fully back.

Godwin’s Week 1 absence created room for Egbuka to shine. His Week 2 status and potential return could re-balance TB’s targets, with Evans remaining a core piece. Expect Godwin to reclaim targets when healthy, but Egbuka’s breakout makes TB’s receiving corps more dynamic.

Godwin’s absence opened a path for Emeka Egbuka, with Godwin sidelined for at least four games. His initial absence shifts targets to the rookie and Mayfield, setting the stage for a rookie-driven early-season fantasy hurdle and a potential return timeline for Godwin that could reshape TB’s target tree.
