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.
