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 was held in check during Sunday's 20-17 loss to Miami, catching three of his five targets for 20 yards. The wide receiver has now gone seven consecutive games without a touchdown, failing to exceed 64 receiving yards in any of those contests.

Fantasy Impact

Egbuka operated as the clear fourth option at his position, finishing behind Jalen McMillan, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans in targets. He will look to snap his scoreless drought when the Buccaneers take on the Panthers in Week 18.
