Chris Godwin (Buccaneers) vs. Falcons: Godwin did almost nothing in QB Baker Mayfield's return to action last week (4.7 fantasy points, 4-27-0 receiving, 5 targets), but that's because the Bucs did almost nothing in the pass game (64 yards, 1 TD, 11 attempts) as they laughed their way to a 43-13 blowout. If we look at Godwin's Week 7 usage (92% route rate, 56% target share), it's great. No. 1 WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion, toe) missed last week, as did Falcons CB Billy Bowman, who plays primarily in the slot, where Godwin lines up most. If both guys were to miss Week 8, Godwin could go off. For the Bucs, this is their fifth home game in seven weeks.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Godwin upgraded vs. Falcons; elite slot matchup with Egbuka and Bowman out.

Godwin is upgraded for Week 8 vs. the Falcons due to offensive and defensive injuries. He underperformed last week (4.7 fantasy points, 4-27-0 receiving, 5 targets) in a blowout, but his usage was strong (92% route rate, 56% target share). No. 1 WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion, toe) missed last week and could miss again. Falcons CB Billy Bowman, who plays primarily in the slot where Godwin lines up most, also missed last week. The Bucs are in their fifth home game in seven weeks.
