Chris Godwin Jr. of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Makai Lemon of the Philadelphia Eagles are highlighted for fantasy lineup considerations in Week 5. Godwin has been a primary target, despite the Buccaneers averaging the fewest passing yards per game. Lemon has struggled in his rookie season but may benefit from DeVonta Smith's absence. Both players face tough defenses, with the Cowboys allowing ninth-most passing yards and the Jaguars being poor against the pass. Evaluations suggest Godwin should be started while Lemon should be benched in fantasy leagues.
