Emeka Egbuka Week 3 Outlook - Vikings at Buccaneers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 24th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Emeka Egbuka has been underwhelming to this point as the WR33 in fantasy points per game. He has drawn only a 17.7% target share with 1.32 YPRR, two red zone targets, three deep targets, a 20% first-read share, and zero explosive plays. I don't know if Egbuka will have a bounce-back week against the Vikings, who have the seventh-highest two-high rate (63.6%). Against two-high, Egbuka's target-per-route run rate drops from 20% to 16%, but his yards-per-route run climbs from 1.20 to 1.58. That still isn't an amazing number. Egbuka could surprise this week, but it's risky. Minnesota has allowed production to perimeter wide receivers, though, giving up the sixth-most yards per target and the ninth-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position.
