Summary

Russell Gage sits in an appealing depth chart locale for the early-season 2022 projections. Chris Godwin's recovering ACL marks a potential absence which would push Gage into the likely Tom Brady PPR machine role of underneath routes. Gage is coming off of back-to-back quality seasons as an ancillary target for Matt Ryan in Atlanta, totaling 138 catches over the span and eight touchdowns. Gage has the upside to lead the team in targets in the perfect storm of no Chris Godwin or Rob Gronkowski early in the 2022 season.

PUP list possible for Chris Godwin?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (knee) starting the 2022 season on the Physically Unable to Perform List and missing the first six games as he continues to recover from a torn anterior cruciate ligament wouldn't be surprising to The Athletic's Greg Auman. 'The optimistic view would be that he's back practicing during preseason and close enough to be on the initial 53-man roster,' Auman writes. 'But the goal is to have him fully healthy when it matters most this season, so it wouldn't be surprising if they took a slower approach and had him on the physically unable to perform list for the first six weeks of the season, leaning on Russell Gage as the No. 2 early in the year.'
