Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Chris Godwin Suffers Hamstring Injury, Fantasy Impact Analyzed

Injury Details and Timeline

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin suffered a hamstring injury during a practice on Wednesday, July 26th. The injury is expected to keep him out of action for several weeks but shouldn't require surgery. Godwin is expected to return to practice in late August and is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season.

Fantasy Impact

Godwin's injury is a significant blow to the Buccaneers' offense. He is one of quarterback Tom Brady's favorite targets and was expected to be a key part of the team's passing game this season. With Godwin out, other receivers like Mike Evans and Julio Jones will see an increase in targets. Godwin's absence could also lead to more opportunities for running backs Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones II in the passing game.

Sleeper Alert: Scotty Miller

With Godwin out, Scotty Miller could be a sneaky good option for fantasy owners. Miller has been impressive in training camp and has shown that he can be a reliable target for Brady. If Godwin misses significant time, Miller could be a valuable pickup for fantasy owners looking for a wide receiver with upside.

Conclusion

Godwin's injury is a setback for the Buccaneers, but it is not expected to be season-ending. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his progress and adjust their lineups accordingly. If Godwin does miss significant time, Miller could be a good option to add to your fantasy team.
