With rookie Jalon Daniels running a capped passing game while Baker Mayfield is out, Emeka Egbuka is the only Buccaneer you might trust, though even then it's iffy. Rico Dowdle is trying to fade the Bucs without Mayfield as much as possible.NegativeProjectionSep 29, 2026

Emeka Egbuka was participating in warmups and running routes Monday as he manages a toe injury, trending toward the opener.NegativeInjuryAug 31, 2026
Emeka Egbuka is still fighting turf toe and doesn't sound fully out of the woods for Week 1. JJ Zachariason notes he hasn't been taking much of Egbuka and admits he thought this injury would have dropped his ADP more; he's been quietly drafting more Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan, and Cade Otton in case the injury lingers.PositiveInjuryAug 27, 2026
If initial reports are accurate, data favors playing Week 1. Coach Bowles said he might not be back for a while, but he returned day 1 of camp.PositiveInjuryAug 26, 2026
Dr. Deepak Chona: suspect ADP is overreacting to Bowles' vague comments; data suggests playing Week 1 without a dip.PositiveInjuryAug 24, 2026
Dr. Deepak Chona reports optimism on Emeka Egbuka's status. The 8/14 report confirmed a sprained toe (stable) after specialist evaluation, with MRI already completed.

Suspect turf toe injury. Data suggests production is preserved despite the injury. Most would allow return by Week 1.NegativeInjuryAug 20, 2026
Emeka Egbuka limped off the Jets joint practice with a toe issue deemed stable by Todd Bowles, who called him day-to-day and stopped short of guaranteeing Week 1.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Egbuka suffered a Week 6 hamstring injury in 2025. Pre-injury, Egbuka was WR 3. Post-injury, he fell to WR 43. The injury also coincided with Baker injuries. Chona projects a rise in 2026 as both Egbuka and Baker recover.NegativeRoleAug 7, 2026
Returned to practice Thursday after a couple days off for lower-body soreness. With Mike Evans now in San Francisco, the target vacuum in Tampa is wide open. Mike Evans thinks Egbuka is going to have a great season as the alpha for a strong Bucs team, but the market is treating him as if he's already taken that next step. He's a target in redraft leagues but in best ball where he's going in the middle of the third round, Evans finds himself often preferring the RBs or other WRs going around him.
