A torn ACL suffered in Week 15 of the 2021 season will give many a fantasy owner pause when it comes to ranking Godwin on their draft boards this summer. He will certainly not be ready for the start of the season, and if he's placed on the PUP list, he'll be out completely for at least the first six weeks of the season. To be honest, even if he gets back on the field sooner than later, he's not likely to even be approaching full strength until your fantasy playoffs, maybe.
Based on that info, you really can't draft Godwin as anything more than a WR2/WR3 in terms of a roster spot. But he is certainly worth the stash. As long as Tom Brady remains at QB, I might rank Godwin higher than Mike Evans. His reliable hands and precise route running skills make him a dangerous weapon on short crossers and quick slants, and also make him one of the best catch and run possession receivers. In other words, he's best at Brady's bread and butter throws. But because of all the reasons listed above, you can't overpay on draft day. The Bucs just committed to him long term. As much as HC Todd Bowles and Brady want him on the field, it's in the team's best interest to make sure he's 100%. They won't rush him.
