Chris Godwin fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Chris Godwin for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR19
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had an impressive Week 1 performance against the Washington Commanders. The veteran was the WR11, scoring 18.3 half-point PPR fantasy points. He had caught all eight targets for 83 receiving yards and a short-yardage touchdown in the win over Washington.

Fantasy players should be encouraged by Godwin’s performance. He was a top-12 wide receiver despite Mike Evans ending Week 1 as the WR6. More importantly, the former Penn State star dominated in the slot, averaging 3.77 yards per route run last week (per Fantasy Points Data).
The Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions couldn’t be better for the veteran wide receiver. Last week, the Lions surrendered 135 receiving yards to slot receivers, the third-most in the NFL. With both teams dealing with injuries in the secondary, fantasy players should expect this matchup to be a high-scoring contest.
Godwin is a top-20 wide receiver in the RotoBaller rankings and a top-15 in my Week 2 rankings.

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 1.

Jameson Williams - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense.
