Emeka Egbuka lands in a crowded but intriguing spot in Tampa Bay after being selected 19th overall - a clear sign the Bucs believe in his long-term upside, even with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin still on the roster. A polished, reliable slot weapon, Egbuka became Ohio State's all-time receptions leader and broke out as a sophomore after replacing Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2022. While he never truly operated as "the guy" in college, his consistent production alongside NFL-level talent speaks volumes. In the short term, target competition limits his redraft appeal, especially with Jalen McMillan also in the mix. But with both Evans and Godwin over 29 and dealing with durability concerns, Egbuka is one injury away from a clear path to fantasy relevance.

Buccaneers rookie WR Emeka Egbuka has impressed early on at OTAs.

Fantasy Impact

Egbuka made a spectacular catch in team drills late in practice on Thursday where he "stretched out to haul in a pass near the sideline from Baker Mayfield.” The rookie receiver is an uphill battle for a big immediate role behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but he should carve himself into some sort of immediate role alongside Jalen McMillan.
