Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka caught three passes (on five targets) for 38 yards in a Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. He also ran once for a yard.

Why It Matters: Back after missing two games with a foot injury, Egbuka was part of a largely toothless passing attack on Sunday night, finishing third in both receptions and receiving yards. The second-year wideout was supposed to ascend to the clear WR1 role following Mike Evans' departure, but to this point that hasn't happneded with Egbuka averaging just 40 yards in his seven games. Not all of that can be pinned on the former Buckeye, though, as Baker Mayfield missed three weeks and has been largely ineffective when in the lineup. Despite his struggles to this point, Egbuka should
be owned in all formats as a WR4 that still boasts WR3 potential.
