Emeka Egbuka

For his long-term projection, Egbuka did well to land in Tampa Bay with the 19th overall pick, avoiding concerns about a slip to the second round whilst joining a franchise that has solid QB play and a strong recent track record of success. Egbuka's Year 1 fantasy projection is far less promising, as the Buccaneers not only return WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin but also saw 2024 third-round pick Jalen McMillan come on strong late in his rookie season. Like his new teammates, Egubka is no burner, having run a 4.45 40 at his pro day after averaging 14.0 yards per catch on a school-record 205 receptions at Ohio State, where he played more than two-thirds of his snaps from the slot each of the past three years. At 6-foot-1, 202 pounds, Egbuka won't necessarily be limited to the slot in the NFL, and his alignments for 2025 will at least partially depend on which of Evans/Godwin/McMillan ends up missing time (and how much). For dynasty leagues, Egbuka remains a priority, and potentially an excellent bargain if others are concerned about the obstacles to big-time volume in Year 1. For redraft, the aforementioned concerns are a huge factor, making Egbuka a bench stash and late-round pick rather than a priority. Read Past Outlooks
