Football news: ESPN insider offers assured advice for drafting Emeka Egbuka in fantasy leagues
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Draft Emeka Egbuka, a Promising Wide Receiver Prospect
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added a new talent to their roster with the selection of Emeka Egbuka in the 2023 NFL Draft. Despite being a highly-touted first-round talent, Egbuka slid down the draft board due to the number of pass catchers taken ahead of him.
Egbuka is expected to make an impact for the Buccaneers, playing both in the slot and on the outside. The Bucs are high on Egbuka and believe he can play multiple wide receiver positions, a versatility that could prove valuable in their offense.
With Chris Godwin Jr. still recovering from a gruesome season-ending injury, Egbuka could hold onto a starting role even when the Buccaneers' receiver corps is at full strength. The team is hoping that drafting Egbuka will be another wide receiver draft steal in the franchise's history.
ESPN's Dan Graziano predicts that Egbuka will be a fantasy football star, and experts are particularly fond of him this season. Given his maturity and polish, Egbuka could get a lot of targets in the Buccaneers' offense.
The Buccaneers had a successful offensive season last year, and they have an easy schedule for the start of the season. With a strong offense and a promising rookie wideout, the Bucs are looking to continue their winning streak, having won five consecutive division titles.
The Buccaneers are scheduled to play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. With Jalen McMillan out due to a neck injury, Egbuka could see significant playing time early in the season. As the Buccaneers' second option, Egbuka is expected to make a strong contribution to the team's offense.
The average draft position of Egbuka across all platforms is 86.2, 37th among wide receivers. With the potential for a breakout season, fantasy football enthusiasts are keeping a close eye on Egbuka. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are excited to see what the future holds for their new wide receiver.
