Chris Godwin Week 2 Outlook - Buccaneers at Lions

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Godwin came out the gate swinging last week as the WR8 in fantasy scoring. He commanded a 26.7% target share, a 22.3% air-yard share, and a 29.2% first-read share, producing a cool 3.77 YPRR. Godwin ran out of the slot on 50% of his snaps, which was a little low, considering all of the off-season reports discussing his return to heavy slot usage. I do think that probably ticks up, depending on the matchups moving forward. Detroit had the ninth-highest single high usage last week (60.8%). Last year in Weeks 14-18, against single high, Godwin led the team with 2.45 YPRR and 0.125 FD/RR and was second behind only Mike Evans in target share (19.1%) and first-read share (21.1%). Godwin will match up with Terrion Arnold (80% catch rate and 90.4 passer rating) and Carlton Davis (69.2% catch rate and 122.0 passer rating) when on the perimeter in Week 2.
