I own each in a league, I like Golladay a little more from a talent perspective (but admittedly it's hard to get a good grasp at this point). I think it's hard to say who will get more opportunity in 2019 at this point. If I was forced to start one all year, in 2018, (of course I do not have to) my money would be on Golladay being in a better passing offense with more perceived talent. While bench points don't matter, like you said, instant production does lead to a higher trade value or allow you to trade a WR ahead of him on your depth chart,FF Ninja said:Based on the fact that he had 5 games to heal. But it is really a minor point compared to the fact that he's at best the third WR on that team. I don't really care if he puts up fantasy WR4 points to outscore Godwin's WR5 points this year. Both are bench players for 2018 and bench points don't matter. I think Godwin is more likely to be a fantasy starter in 2019. But I don't have a dog in this fight so I don't really care.
You could be right about 2019 but it's hard to know what the Bucs will be doing at that point. Maybe they use an early pick this year or next year on a WR, maybe they sign some one in the 2019 offseason. Maybe Jones or Tate are released by the Lions next offseason and Jackson is kept by the Bucs.
Too much speculation for the future so if I had to pick I'd keep Golladay - but admittedly we are splitting hairs at this point and both could end up being future studs or marginal fantasy assets.
