The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-1) will visit the Detroit Lions (4-2) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Emeka Egbuka.
Is Emeka Egbuka Playing in Week 7?
Egbuka (hamstring) is officially active for Week 7.
We’ll continue to monitor the Buccaneers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Emeka Egbuka in Week 7?
If only we knew that wide receivers in Tampa Bay were contagious before putting all of our hopes and dreams behind Emeka Egbuka.
The outstanding rookie suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter last week and is expected to be sidelined for some action. The Bucs get the Saints next week before going on bye in Week 9; we don’t yet have a Week 10 target return date, but it’s easy to see a path where that’s the case.
Tez and Kameron Johnson are the names to know in this offense if you want a piece of the Baker Mayfield for MVP campaign, especially indoors in a potentially offensively charged contest.
It’s a little hard to imagine, but if the manager with Egbuka has a losing record, why not get a trade conversation started? If that’s the case, the rest of the roster is likely depleted, giving you the ability to swoop in with a volume deal that lands you an elite asset who closes the fantasy season with the Panthers and Dolphins in Weeks 16-17.
