Chris Godwin is a risky pick in Week 15. His health has been up and down all season long. Over the last two games, he has delivered usable fantasy football production, but overall, he's been shaky at best.

With Mike Evans set to return to the fold, don't expect anything but a downtrend from Godwin in Week 15.

Emeka Egbuka has exploded at times in his rookie campaign, but he also has effectively disappeared for most of the last two months. With Chris Godwin and Mike Evans slated for a return, Egbuka might find his usage watered down on top of his low ceiling over most of the past two months.

Of course, receivers love to buck trends and Egbuka could turn out to be a solid option. But how does he stack up against Evans?

From a conventional football standpoint, Mike Evans' ability to hit the ground running could inform how the team does in the final stretch of 2025. It will also determine how things shake out in the wide receiver room in terms of target share. In Week 15, expect Evans to be eased into the fold.

At 32 years old, any attempt to rush him back could be met with another lengthy absence. As such, don't expect Evans to have too much time on the field, but could it be enough to give him a fantasy football edge over Emeka Egbuka or Chris Godwin?

Should I start Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka or Chris Godwin Jr. in Week 15 fantasy football?

Overall, Chris Godwin has the best outlook for the contest. Mike Evans is guaranteed nothing this week in his first action in months, especially after logging only limited practices in Week 15, according to the official Tampa Bay Buccaneers injury report. Emeka Egbuka, meanwhile, is in line to be smothered with double teams.

As such, Godwin is your best option. None of the three options is much more than a lottery ticket, but Godwin has shown himself to be the most consistent over the past two games.
