Egbuka

•

Egbuka averaged 2.75 yards per route run against zone defenses over the last three seasons, which places him over the 95th percentile among FBS receivers.

•

The Buccaneers are one of six teams with two wide receivers with a PFF receiving grade above 84 over the last three seasons. This will make it difficult for Egbuka to finish first or second on the team in targets, and therefore make it difficult to start him in fantasy football as a rookie.

•

Egbuka’s quarterback, Baker Mayfield, had generally good accuracy relative to other quarterbacks on short passes, but worse than the typical quarterback on deep passes, which works just fine for a receiver like Egbuka. Mayfield is also fine going off his first target more than most quarterbacks, which is also good for Egbuka, who might not be drawn up as many plays as other receivers, but will ideally get open when he’s on the field and catch Mayfield’s eye.
