NFL Week 9 First Touchdown Scorer Picks & Predictions: Rams vs. Buccaneers
Chris Godwin
Odds: +625 (via Caesars Sportsbook)
Cooper Kupp practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday, so it seems he may play this week. If he does not play, the Rams may be in for a long day, as their running game has been almost nonexistent. The only team worse in rushing yards per game this season is the Buccaneers. All that to say, this game will likely take place through the air, even though the Buccaneers allow 132.4 rushing yards per game. Chris Godwin has received at least 11 targets in his last three games. With Mike Evans battling an ankle injury, Godwin is the better play this week. Jalen Ramsey will move around the field and cover both players at some point, and a healthy Godwin has the best chance of getting open.
