After sitting out most of the 2025 NFL season due to injury, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has come on strong of late.

Over the last two weeks, Godwin has been the Buccaneers' leading receiver, reeling in eight catches for 133 yards.

But just when Godwin started coming on strong, the Bucs got healthy at wide receiver with the returns of Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan in Week 15, so targets will be tougher to come by.

Speaking of the Week 15 game against the Atlanta Falcons, Godwin is off to a lackluster start. Here's why.

Is Chris Godwin playing tonight?

Yes, Godwin is active and healthy, he just hasn't been targeted in the passing game yet.

We'll see if Godwin can get going soon.
