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.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
