The source projects Egbuka will finish inside the top-five in receptions, receiving yards, and fantasy points among wide receivers in 2026, becoming "the next Jaxson Smith-Njigba." Egbuka and Smith-Njigba were Ohio State teammates and essentially the same player—fantastic route-runners who play bigger than their size and can line up outside or in the slot. With Mike Evans gone and Chris Godwin Jr. (age 30) having not played 10 games since 2023, Egbuka is Tampa's best wideout. He was third in PPR points among receivers over his first five rookie weeks before injury and target-share decline. Baker Mayfield clearly trusts him.
