WR33: Emeka Egbuka (vs. PIT). Cleared 12 PPR points for the first time this season in Week 5! Yeah! Hell yeah! That said: 17.2 still almost feels underwhelming when considering it came against the lowly Cowboys, and we probably shouldn't count on the 2025 first-rounder scoring too many more 14-yard *rushing* touchdowns. Ultimately, the bigger problem is that Egbuka is barely working ahead of Chris Godwin and even Cade Otton in targets (13 vs. 10 vs. 10) with Jaylon Johnson under center, and now a much tougher matchup presents itself in the form of a Steelers defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per game to wide receivers this season.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Egbuka's 17.2-point Week 5 came vs. Cowboys with rushing TD; faces tough Steelers with limited target share.

Ranked WR33 for Week 6 vs. PIT. Egbuka cleared 12 PPR points for the first time this season in Week 5 with 17.2 points, but that came against the lowly Cowboys and included a 14-yard rushing touchdown that shouldn't be counted on going forward. The bigger problem is Egbuka is barely working ahead of Chris Godwin and Cade Otton in targets (13 vs. 10 vs. 10) with Jaylon Johnson under center, and now faces a much tougher Steelers defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per game to wide receivers this season.
