ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is expected to play vs. the Rams tonight. HC Todd Bowles said that'd likely be the case on Friday. We don't know whether Godwin will play a full slate of snaps in his first action since Week 5, though. Try to leave him on fantasy benches. Godwin's return makes WRs Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard much shakier fantasy bets. Check your Team Dashboard to see if any of these guys make sense in your starting lineup.

Update: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Bucs "will be mindful" of Godwin's workload tonight. "Will likely be on something of a pitch count," Fowler adds.
