Emeka Egbuka vs. Packers — Lead Target in Shorthanded Offense

Egbuka remains Tampa Bay's primary outside weapon, and his target share should stay elevated with fellow receiver Jalen McMillan sidelined by a knee injury. Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield is also out, turning the keys over to rookie Jalon Daniels, though practice reports highlight promising early chemistry between the two.

While breaking in a rookie quarterback creates efficiency questions, Egbuka's reliable volume keeps his floor dependable. Our weekly projection lands him at nearly eight targets, five receptions, and 56 yards, making him a trustworthy WR2 or flex option for fantasy lineups.
