Emeka Egbuka enters his second NFL season as the clear lead wideout for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following Mike Evans’ departure to San Francisco. As a 2025 rookie, he posted 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns despite a midseason hamstring injury that limited his explosiveness and contributed to a sharp drop-off after Week 5. A productive offseason has left him stronger and better conditioned, while new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson’s scheme is expected to funnel targets to Egbuka in the slot and perimeter roles vacated by Evans. A toe sprain sustained in August training camp sidelined him through most of the preseason, but he received a full-go designation for Week 1 against the Bengals after logging complete practices; doubtful status for Jalen McMillan further increases his immediate target share. Sustained health across 17 games, red-zone usage alongside Chris Godwin, and Baker Mayfield’s accuracy will primarily determine his touchdown total.
