Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) could miss "multiple" games, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Godwin is expected to miss Week 4 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, and with the Buccaneers playing on Thursday against the Chicago Bear in Week 5, Stroud believes it could be a multi-game absence. The talented wideout exited Week 3 early because of a hamstring issue. Justin Watson missed Sunday's game with a shoulder injury and Scotty Miller is dealing with hip and groin ailments, so the Buccaneers are running thin on healthy wideouts. Rookie Tyler Johnson could wind up playing an expanded role in Week 4. The slot offers increased value against a Chargers' secondary that will reportedly be without Chris Harris for 4-6 weeks because of a foot inury.
Godwin is leading the Bucs with 6.5 targets a game. Mike Evans put up a season-high 19.9 FanDuel points in Week 2 when Godwin was sidelined against the Carolina Panthers. The Chargers enter Week 4 ranked 12th in pass defense, according to numberFire's advanced metrics.
