Eric Moody projects Chris Godwin for top-30 fantasy finish in 2026
Summary

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin enters the 2026 season as a candidate for a rebound after an injury-plagued 2025 campaign. ESPN analyst Eric Moody predicts that the veteran will finish among the top 30 fantasy wide receivers this year. Godwin appeared in only nine games last season while recovering from an ankle injury sustained in 2024, resulting in 33 catches for 360 yards and two touchdowns. His potential for a bounce-back year relies on returning to his pre-injury form and securing a significant share of the team's passing targets. Moody projects Godwin to see the second-most targets on the roster, trailing only Emeka Egbuka. The receiver provided a glimpse of his capability during a Week 17 outing against the Miami Dolphins where he recorded 108 receiving yards and one touchdown.
