Emeka EgbukaWR

Emeka Egbuka's route share dropped to 63% this week—his lowest of the season and below Jaden Higgins—as Chris Godwin and Mike Evans ramp up in must-win games; the source suspects Egbuka hasn't performed well over the last 5–10 weeks, prompting the Buccaneers to lean on veterans. However, in raw routes Egbuka still ran 25 (only two fewer than Tyler Warren's 27 and three fewer than McMillan's 28), and he posted his best game since week 10 with 20+ PPR points, seven targets, four catches, 64 yards, an 82.4 PFF grade, and 2.56 yards per route run. The source downgrades him to boom-bust WR3 but retains him as a flex option with upside in do-or-die playoff games.
