Chris Godwin vs Garrett Wilson: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) finished the 2025 season averaging 7.4 fantasy points per game in 9 games. Garrett Wilson (New York Jets) came in at 11.6 PPG over 7 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Garrett Wilson carries a 4.2-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Chris Godwin turned 51 targets into 360 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Garrett Wilson converted 59 looks into 395 yards and 4 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Chris Godwin is off Week 11 and Garrett Wilson Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
