Emeka Egbuka did not practice Wednesday due to a concussion and a foot issue, according to Underdog NFL.

What happened

Egbuka was listed with a concussion and a foot injury and did not practice Wednesday.

Context

Egbuka is the LWR1 on the Buccaneers depth chart. Through six games this season, he has 71.1 PPR points, 49 targets, 28 receptions, 240 receiving yards, and 2 receiving touchdowns. He is averaging 11.8 PPR points per game and has played 86% of snaps. Sleeper projects him for 10.8 PPR points in Week 7.

Depth chart

If Egbuka misses time, Chris Godwin is the next wide receiver on the depth chart as SWR2. Godwin has 46.4 PPR points this season with 23 receptions for 216 yards on 29 targets. Ted Hurst is RWR3 with 33.8 PPR points and 11 receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown. Tez Johnson is SWR4 with 22.1 PPR points and 7 receptions for 145 yards.

What’s next

The Buccaneers play the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, October 25 in Week 7.

Emeka Egbuka (concussion, foot) doesn't practice Wednesday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Egbuka’s status is uncertain after missing Wednesday’s practice. Managers should monitor his participation later in the week. If he cannot play, Chris Godwin becomes the top target and a viable streamer; he is projected for 9.7 points. Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson would also see increased opportunities, but both have low season-long production. Egbuka averages 11.8 points per game, so his absence would be significant for fantasy lineups. No add/drop recommendation is made without more information on his availability.
