It looks like Emeka Egbuka will be back this week. After opening the week with a DNP, he followed it up with full practices on Thursday and Friday. The Bucs have not wanted to throw the ball the last two games due to weather concerns and Baker Mayfield's ailing thumb. Maybe that changes this week, as they will likely be playing catch-up with the Bears leading. Egbuka is the WR32 in fantasy points per game with a 25.3% target share, 1.19 YPRR, six red zone targets, six deep targets, and a 31.7% first-read share. Egbuka could turn in a nice stat line this week if Mayfield can deliver catchable targets. Over their last five games, the Bears have allowed the fourth-most yards per target and the most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.

Emeka Egbuka (foot) will play in Sunday’s matchup between night’s matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears according to Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact

Egbuka progressed enough throughout the week after being limited to entering it, as the wideout looks to provide quarterback Baker Mayfield with an impactful pass-catching option against the Chicago Bears Sunday night.
