The Top WRs To Start in Week 17
Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. Saints)
Analysis by Kyle Soppe | “Better late than never.”
Or is it? My wife says this a lot to her students who turn in work late, but at some point, it stops mattering. Handing in a first-semester assignment in the second semester, for example, is better than being late. What’s the point? It’s a sunk opportunity that you’re now wasting time to complete for no reason.

That’s what this recent Chris Godwin run feels like. He sunk your team for the better part of three months, and now that your season is over due to getting underwhelming production from your WR2/Flex consistently, why does it matter?
If you’ve survived to this point with Godwin, then you’re thrilled, I’m just not sure how likely that is, honestly. Three of his five double-target games this season have come in the past three weeks, a usage pattern that I like to continue through this week.
Teammate Mike Evans was injured in the first Saints meeting this season, but there’s no denying that Godwin’s usage upside is greater in this specific matchup than most.
When these teams met back in Week 4, Godwin vacuumed in 36.7% of the targets on his way to 114 yards, catching four more passes than any of his teammates had targets in that game.
The pride of Penn State has been a top-40 receiver in four straight weeks after posting an average positional finish of WR53 in the four games beforehand. He’s flirting with a low-grade WR2 rank this week, alongside players like Jayden Reed and Courtland Sutton.
