Egbuka is positioned as a 2026 breakout candidate comparable to JSN's leap from good to great. Most of his ceiling production came early, as the then-rookie scored five touchdowns and averaged 20.5 fantasy points per game during his first five outings before falling off (one TD and 7.8 PPG over final 12 games), partially attributed to injuries to both himself and Baker Mayfield. With Mike Evans gone, Egbuka has a real shot to operate as Tampa Bay's top target in 2026, providing massive upside despite some risk after the slow finish.PositiveInjuryJul 9, 2026
Godwin suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 8 of the 2024 season, including a dislocation and ligament damage when his leg was caught under Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith while trying to make a catch. He missed the Buccaneers' final 10 games of 2024, as well as the first three and five additional games in 2025 as he worked himself back to full strength. At age 30, he's now in a logical competition with sophomore Emeka Egbuka for the honor of being quarterback Baker Mayfield's top target, with both players fitting more of a slot-receiver mold.
