Chris Godwin

Chris Godwin

WR / Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Chris Godwin (neck) active for Bucs in Week 13

What it means:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have Chris Godwin (neck) available for their Week 13 game against the Carolina Panthers. Godwin picked up a neck injury partway through the Bucs' week of practices, but was cleared to play after a solid pregame workout. He'll suit up for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Godwin is projected to score 9.2 fantasy points off of 4.8 catches, 51.7 yards, and 0.2 touchdowns. FanDuel has set his salary at $6,300.

Chris Godwin

WR / Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bucs' Chris Godwin (neck) a game-time decision for Week 13

What it means:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (neck) is "likely" to play per ESPN's Adam Schefter, but will test his injured neck in pregame warmups ahead of the team's Week 13 game against the Carolina Panthers. Godwin suffered a neck injury in practice earlier this week and while the veteran wideout seems capable of playing, the team will make sure to test out his neck in pregame warmups before making an official decision. Godwin's production hasn't kept pace with teammate Mike Evans' production with Baker Mayfield at quarterback, but he's still having a solid season. If he can play, our models project Godwin for 4.8 receptions, 51.6 yards, and 0.2 scores for 9.2 fantasy points. He has a $6,300 salary on FanDuel.

Chris Godwin

WR / Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Chris Godwin (neck) added to Buccaneers injury report Thursday

What it means:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (neck) was limited at practice on Thursday for Week 12 versus the Carolina Panthers. The Buccaneers added Godwin to the injury report on Thursday, so he may have injured his neck during practice. Trey Palmer will step in as the No. 2 receiver if Godwin is unable to play on Sunday. The Panthers are allowing the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season, but their pass defense is only 21st in numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings. Godwin is the WR27 in our Week 13 PPR rankings and projected for 9.3 FanDuel points, with 7.1 targets, 4.8 receptions, and 51.3 yards.

Baker Mayfield

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield (ankle) practicing in full on Thursday

What it means:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) was a full participant at practice on Thursday ahead of Week 13's game against the Carolina Panthers. Mayfield logged another full practice on Thursday and appears to be on track to face the Panthers on Sunday. Barring a setback, look for Mayfield to be under center in Week 13. Mayfield's Week 13 projection includes 215.2 yards, 1.24 touchdowns, 0.84 interceptions, and 14.9 FanDuel points. His salary is $6,800.

QB / Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield (ankle) feeling better, expected to play Week 13

What it means:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) is expected to play in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, per head coach Todd Bowles. Mayfield tweaked his ankle on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts and missed two plays, but he's feeling better and practiced in full for the first practice of Week 13. The 28-year-old quarterback completed 20 of 30 pass attempts for 199 yards versus the Colts, with 2 touchdowns and an interception. Mayfield is the QB18 in numberFire's Week 13 fantasy rankings and our models project him for 14.9 FanDuel points, with 215.2 passing yards, 1.24 touchdowns, 0.8 interceptions, 4.4 carries, and 16.1 rushing yards. The Panthers are allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks this season, but that's mostly because they're getting gashed on the ground. Their pass defense is 21st in numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.

Baker Mayfield (ankle) could be limited in Buccaneers Week 13 prep

What it means:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) could be limited at practice for Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, reports Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Mayfield tweaked his ankle in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts and missed two plays. The Buccaneers are optimistic Mayfield will be able to play on Sunday versus the Panthers, but they might err on the side of caution and manage the veteran's practice reps throughout the week. He completed 20 of 30 pass attempts for 199 yards versus the Colts, with 2 touchdowns and an interception. Mayfield is the QB18 in numberFire's Week 13 fantasy rankings and our models project him for 14.9 FanDuel points, with 214.4 passing yards, 1.24 touchdowns, 0.8 interceptions, 4.4 carries, and 16.2 rushing yards. The Panthers are allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks this season, but that's mostly because they're getting gashed on the ground. Their pass defense is 21st in numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.
