ESPN Fantasy Football on Emeka Egbuka
From the article
In the 13 games following that 2025 performance, Egbuka has struggled significantly, averaging just 7.9 fantasy points per game (WR54)... Forgive me for not believing in a potential turnaround, as he draws a less-than-inspiring matchup versus Pittsburgh... the Steelers figure to take away Bucky Irving, much like what they did to Jonathan Taylor the week before (11.2 FPTS)
STACKED’s take
Egbuka's 13-game slump (7.9 PPG, WR54) and tough Steelers matchup limit him to WR30 flex despite Week 5 TD.
After enduring four consecutive outings with fewer than 12 fantasy points, Egbuka posted a top-20 positional performance in Week 5 (17.2 points) boosted largely by a rushing touchdown—his highest total since Week 10 of last year and the last time he surpassed 65 receiving yards. In the 13 games following that 2025 performance, Egbuka has struggled significantly, averaging just 7.9 fantasy points per game (WR54) with a lone receiving touchdown (tied for WR76), 3.4 receptions per effort (WR37), and 34.9 receiving yards per contest (WR52). The source does not believe in a turnaround, citing a less-than-inspiring matchup versus Pittsburgh (40.5 game total per DraftKings) in Week 6. The Steelers figure to take away Bucky Irving, forcing Jalon Daniels to beat them through the air, but Patrick Graham's unit has allowed just two wide receivers to cross 13 points all season (Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins). Egbuka remains a flex option in the WR30 range.
