Emeka Egbuka

Emeka Egbuka has had a slump recently. Since Week 6, he has finished as a top 24 wide receiver in weekly scoring only once. That includes his last meeting with New Orleans, where he secured only three of his nine targets for 35 scoreless receiving yards as the WR55 for the week. Overall, Egbuka has a 24.9% target share with 65.9 receiving yards per game, 2.04 yards per route run, and a 30.7% first-read share. Egbuka leads the Bucs with 13 red zone targets and 14 deep targets. This week, he has a rematch with a Saints' secondary that, since Week 3, has utilized single high at the sixth-highest rate (58.9%). Since Week 6, Egbuka's struggles have been against two high as he has CRUSHED single high with a 33.9% target share with 2.23 yards per route run and a 41.5% first-read share. This is a wonderful spot for Egbuka to bounce back. Since Week 9, New Orleans has allowed the second-most PPR points per target and the 14th-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.
