Expert Note

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 sees three targets in Week 18

Emeka Egbuka caught 1-of-3 targets for eight yards in the Bucs 16-14 win over the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

The three targets Egbuka saw were second on the team only behind Cade Otton. After a strong start to his rookie season, Egbuka disappointed down the stretch of his rookie year. He'll be a wide receiver to monitor in fantasy drafts next season.
