Emeka Egbuka

Mike Evans led the Bucs with 9 targets (5-31-1).
Emeka Egbuka had just two targets but caught one for 40 yards (lead team). Volume has dipped for Egbuka since Evans' return, but his efficiency has increased.
However, the routes fell even farther this week compared to Week 15. He finished 4th in routes run behind Jalen McMillan. Season lows across the board for Egbuka between targets, routes, and catches. Just a 54% route participation.
This makes Egbuka a boom-or-bust option versus the Dolphins in Week 17.
Chris Godwin was second with 6 targets (led team in routes run for the second straight week).

Emeka Egbuka caught one of two targets for 40 yards in Tampa Bay's 23-20 loss to Carolina on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Egbuka was quiet in this game until late, when he hauled in a beautiful deep ball from Baker Mayfield. He's had 42 or fewer yards in five of his last six games, and is a tough player to trust with fantasy championships on the line next week, even against Miami.
