Managers looking for a reliable wide receiver with a safe floor can trust Chirs Godwin.

He has eclipsed 80 targets in the past six seasons and exceeded 1,000 yards in four of them. His role with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appears to be the same this year, so his fantasy football outlook makes him a solid option in drafts.

The one concern with Godwin is that his upside is limited due to the presense of Mike Evans, one of the most consistently productive wide receivers in NFL history. Both have been valuable fantasy picks during their careers, so Godwin is a relaible option in 2024 again.


Chris Godwin 2024 fantasy outlook, ADP and 2023 stats

Godwin ranks as the WR34 and 77th overall player in 2024 fantasy football drafts, according to his ADP. That gives him additional value this year after finishing the past six seasons ranked higher than that.

In his first year with Baker Mayfield as the new Buccaneers quarterback last season, Godwin turned in a solid 83 receptions on 130 targets for 1,024 yards and two touchdowns.

With a full offseason to continue working with Mayfield, Godwin may take a step forward this year, giving him a favorable 2024 fantasy outlook.


Is Chris Godwin a good pick in fantasy football this year?

Considering that his current ADP is lower than his career-average finish in fantasy football, Godwin makes for a valuable pick ahead of the 2024 season. While he may not have the upside to be a WR1 on most fantasy rosters, he's one of the safest options to serve as a WR3 or better.

The Buccaneers made no significant additions to their wide receivers, so Godwin will essentially just be competing with Evans for targets at the positon. He has done so every year and still finished as WR30 or better, so he has one of the highest floors of any player at a similar ADP.

Godwin ranks as the WR34 and 77th overall player in 2024 fantasy football, according to his current ADP. That means he can be targeted in the seventh round of most drafts as a WR3 on many rosters. He's an excellent pick in this spot due to his proven ability to finish higher than that.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Draft tool recommends picking Godwin in favor of other veteran wide receivers who have been consistently reliable during their careers, including DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Lockett. He's also the preferred choice to rising star Jayden Reed, demonstrating his solid value for the 2024 season.
