Emeka Egbuka at Dallas — Viable Flex Play Facing Quarterback Turmoil
Egbuka leads Tampa Bay's receiver corps into Thursday night at Dallas, but the offense is forced to pivot with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield ruled out due to a thumb injury. With fellow wideout Jalen McMillan also sidelined on injured reserve, Egbuka is the clear focal point for rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels.
His fantasy start percentage has tumbled to 48%, reflecting manager anxiety over the quarterback change, but game script should work in his favor. As 8.5-point underdogs in a projected high-scoring environment, the winless Buccaneers will need to air it out. We project Egbuka for roughly 4 receptions and 44 yards on nearly 7 targets (10.7 fantasy points), making him a workable WR3 or flex option in PPR leagues.

Isaiah Williams vs. Browns at Home — Slot Role Expands After Big-Play Splash
Williams established momentum last week by turning heads with a 58-yard touchdown reception against Chicago. Operating as the Jets' primary slot receiver, his path to playing time looks clearer with Omar Cooper on injured reserve and Adonai Mitchell managing a finger injury. Even with Garrett Wilson anchoring the passing attack, Williams has carved out regular slot snaps.
Fantasy managers should temper expectations despite the recent splash, as Williams remains rostered in just 2% of leagues. Facing a tough Cleveland defense in a projected low-scoring contest, our projections peg him for around 3 catches and 32 receiving yards (7.1 fantasy points). That keeps him on the radar primarily as a deep-league flier.
