Emeka Egbuka’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He sprained his toe on Aug. 12 in a joint practice with the Jets and missed practice into early September, but he was ready for the Week 1 opener.
Egbuka played 86% of offensive snaps in each of the first two games, per Pewter Report, but had only 79 receiving yards in that span, per Fantasy Football Calculator. He scored Tampa Bay’s only touchdown in the Week 2 loss to Cleveland. As a 2025 rookie he caught 63 passes for 938 yards.
Fantasy Action: Tampa Bay is on bye in Week 10, so bench Egbuka this week. He goes back into lineups as a WR3 with WR2 upside in PPR for Week 11; check his foot on next week’s practice reports.
