There were plenty of talented rookie wide receivers taken in the 2025 NFL Draft. It’s still early, but perhaps the Tampa Bay Buccaneers found the best one in Emeka Egbuka, who had the best debut among that group in Week 1. For fantasy football managers, Egbuka could be a league-winner.
With Chris Godwin out to start the season, there was an expectation that Egbuka could have a prominent role in the offense alongside Mike Evans in the passing game. That was the case on Sunday when the Bucs narrowly defeated the Falcons 23-20. The Ohio State product caught four of six targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns — one of those scores the game-winner with under a minute left in the game.
