Emeka Egbuka Week 6 Outlook - 49ers at Buccaneers

By Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros), Tue, Oct 7th 2025, 10:30pm EDT

Egbuka has become everyone's rookie darling this season. Through five weeks, he is second in touchdowns, fourth in yards, and third in fantasy points. His chemistry with Baker Mayfield is flourishing, and his usage is perfect for his skill set. Although touted as a slot receiving prospect, he has proven that he can win anywhere on the field. Evans will likely miss this game again with a hamstring injury, but his return is the only potential negative to the rookie's production. Having said that, there is also a world that Evans opens up the field and he gets even better. In a battle of 4-1 teams, he will need to be relied on against a fierce 49ers defense. It's a tough matchup, but there is no reason to doubt the breakout star.
