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.

Jaylen Warren - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as RB2 in PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: After three seasons as the Steelers' RB2 behind Najee Harris and making zero starts, Jaylen Warren finally took the starting job in 2025 and silenced many of his critics. He admittedly got off to a slow start, but really got going following a […]
Marvin Harrison Jr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as WR3 in 12-Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Are NFL fans being too harsh on Marvin Harrison Jr.? The Ohio State product was picked fourth overall in 2024 and had an objectively solid rookie season, which was unfortunately overshadowed by Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, and Ladd McConkey's outstanding rookie […]
David Montgomery - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: The Houston Texans shelled out a decent amount of cash, for an RB at least, to running back David Montgomery to have him join their team. He's now set to take over the Joe Mixon role, which was quite productive in 2024, before an injury essentially […]
Tony Pollard - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Pollard will be the lead back for the Tennessee Titans for yet another season. There may not be much to get excited about. While the team overhauled its coaching staff in the offseason, quarterback Cam Ward doesn't appear to have made much progress. It's controversial […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-End WR2/High-End WR3 ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Chargers made an upgrade at offensive coordinator when they hired Mike McDaniel, formerly the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. L.A. is moving on from Greg Roman, who arguably leaned too run-heavy and didn't have creative schemes to get his […]
