Emeka Egbuka at Dallas — Target volume upside in a potential trailing script

Fully healthy and established as a starting outside receiver for Tampa Bay, Egbuka continues to see consistent opportunities. With fellow wideout Jalen McMillan sidelined on injured reserve, targets remain concentrated near the top of the depth chart alongside Chris Godwin Jr. However, fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is nursing a thumb injury on a short week.

Our weekly projection expects Egbuka to post around 4 catches, 46 receiving yards, and 11.2 fantasy points. As 8.5-point road underdogs against Dallas, the winless Buccaneers will likely be forced into a pass-heavy game script, making Egbuka a solid WR3/Flex starter despite his recent dip to a 63% start rate.

Outlook Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford vs. Buffalo — Prime Shootout Potential in High-Scoring Home Clash

Stafford engineered a fourth-quarter comeback win against Philadelphia last week, though ball security remains a persistent issue after tossing an interception in each of his first four games. Operating with a healthy receiver tandem in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, he continues to pilot an aggressive, high-volume aerial attack.

Facing Buffalo in an anticipated 54-point shootout at SoFi Stadium, Stafford is positioned in a top-tier fantasy environment. Our models project him for roughly 295 passing yards and over two touchdowns, generating 19.6 fantasy points. Despite his turnover-induced floor, that immense passing volume cements him as a strong start this week.
