Godwin (fibula), who is officially questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to suit up but will "likely be on something of a pitch count," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Assuming the Buccaneers officially clear Godwin when they release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, the wideout will be in line for his first game action since Week 5 after missing five consecutive games due to a hairline fracture of his fibula. His return will provide a boost to Tampa Bay's receiving corps, which will still be without Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck). Even so, fantasy managers should take note of Godwin likely being on a snap count Sunday, with the potential limitations coupled with a tough matchup versus the Rams perhaps suppressing his production. Godwin -- who also missed the first three games of the campaign while recovering from left ankle surgery -- tallied six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets over two games prior to sitting out due to the fractured fibula.
