2025 Season Outlooks

Egbuka was selected by Tampa Bay in the first round of April's draft. Whether it's size, age, 40 time or collegiate usage and efficiency, Egbuka falls right in the middle of basically every category relative to the rest of this WR class. The Ohio State product was primarily a slot (73%), short-range (8.6 aDOT) target in college, but was productive, catching 72% of his targets and posting a strong 2.64 YPRR. Also a rushing and return threat, Egbuka will have a role right out of the gate, but just how sizable it is will depend on the health of Chris Godwin (ankle). If Godwin is sidelined (and with Jalen McMillan also injured), Egbuka will be well positioned for a major early-career role that could vault him into the WR3 mix. Once Godwin is back, however, consistent fantasy output may be hard to find. Egbuka is worth a mid-round pick and is a terrific dynasty hold.

Egbuka averaged 2.75 yards per route run against zone defenses over the last three seasons, which places him over the 95th percentile among FBS receivers.
The Buccaneers are one of six teams with two wide receivers with a PFF receiving grade above 84 over the last three seasons. This will make it difficult for Egbuka to finish first or second on the team in targets, and therefore make it difficult to start him in fantasy football as a rookie.
Egbuka’s quarterback, Baker Mayfield, had generally good accuracy relative to other quarterbacks on short passes, but worse than the typical quarterback on deep passes, which works just fine for a receiver like Egbuka. Mayfield is also fine going off his first target more than most quarterbacks, which is also good for Egbuka, who might not be drawn up as many plays as other receivers, but will ideally get open when he’s on the field and catch Mayfield’s eye.
