Outlook Emeka Egbuka
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.

Outlook Tyler Higbee
Tyler Higbee vs. Bills — Surging target volume brings streaming upside
Higbee has quietly surged in the Rams' passing attack over the last two weeks, commanding 17 targets and catching 13 passes for 129 yards and a score. With fellow tight end Colby Parkinson banged up and Terrance Ferguson sidelined on injured reserve, Higbee has re-established trustworthy chemistry with Matthew Stafford.
Facing Buffalo in what projects to be a high-scoring contest, our weekly projections forecast Higbee for roughly 3 catches and 34 yards (8.2 fantasy points). While rostered in only 6% of leagues, his recent target surge elevates him into consideration as a sneaky streaming option.
