Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Emeka Egbuka Play Week 3?
Emeka Egbuka (hip, groin) questionable for Week 3
Emeka Egbuka (hip, groin) is officially questionable for Week 3 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the New York Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Egbuka was able to return to practice on a limited basis Friday after missing practice the previous two days, but will need to pass through pregame activities without any issues for head coach Todd Bowles. If the rookie wideout is unable to play, Mike Evans and Sterling Shepard will see the majority of snaps for the wideout group against the Jets Sunday.

What the Experts Are Saying
Emeka Egbuka has run hot with touchdowns through two games (three), which has carried him to WR13 in fantasy points per game. Egbuka has seen an 18.6% target share, a 27.3% air-yard share, and a 20% first-read share with 1.33 yards per route run. Outside of the touchdowns, the rest of his usage isn’t amazing right now, but it’s the first two games of his young NFL career, so let’s take it with a grain of salt. If Sauce Gardner follows Mike Evans, that’s wonderful news for Egbuka, as he’ll see Brandon Stephens (80% catch rate and 145.4 passer rating) and Michael Carter II (57.1% catch rate and 88.4 passer rating) all game. Egbuka should keep the hot streak alive this week. Egbuka should keep the hot streak alive this week. Egbuka has been listed as questionable (hip/groin). He didn’t practice this week until Friday where he had a limited practice session.
