Chris Godwin Stays Quiet in Week 6 With Four Catches

October 19, 2026 - 00:15

Chris Godwin was held under 40 yards receiving for a fourth straight game, finishing with 37 in Week 6 against the Steelers. The veteran wideout caught four passes on the afternoon, continuing a stretch of modest production that has frustrated fantasy managers and raised questions about his role in the offense.

Godwin has now failed to top 40 yards in four consecutive outings, a marked departure from the consistency that once made him a reliable weekly starter. Against Pittsburgh, he saw a handful of targets but struggled to find separation against a physical secondary that prioritized limiting yards after the catch. His longest reception of the day went for just 14 yards, and he was not targeted in the red zone.

The broader picture is concerning. Godwin's target share has dipped in recent weeks, and the offense appears to be spreading the ball around more than it did earlier in the season. Whether this is a temporary slump or a sign of a reduced role remains to be seen, but the trend is worth monitoring as the schedule tightens.

Godwin will look to break out of the rut next week when the team faces a defense that has allowed chunk plays through the air. For now, his fantasy value sits in uncertain territory, and managers may need to weigh other options until he shows signs of a rebound.
