Emeka Egbuka Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 21st 2025, 9:26am EDT

Emeka Egbuka lands in a crowded but intriguing spot in Tampa Bay after being selected 19th overall - a clear sign the Bucs believe in his long-term upside, even with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin still on the roster. A polished, reliable slot weapon, Egbuka became Ohio State's all-time receptions leader and broke out as a sophomore after replacing Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2022. While he never truly operated as "the guy" in college, his consistent production alongside NFL-level talent speaks volumes. Target competition may also not limit his redraft appeal anymore, with Jalen McMillan out for over half the season and Godwin unavailable until October.
