I think Emeka Ibuka is going to lead the NFL in catches in his second NFL season... he was also playing out of position. He was playing as the X receiver.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Egbuka will lead the NFL in receptions in his second season.

Matt Harmon predicts Emeka Egbuka will lead the NFL in receptions in his second season. Egbuka played through a hamstring injury and out of position as an X-receiver during his rookie year; he is now expected to play in the Z-receiver/slot role where he excelled as a prospect. Harmon highlights the Buccaneers' offensive line as the best in the NFL and notes that Egbuka's transition to a 'big slot' role mirrors the successful usage of Drake London, suggesting high-volume potential despite concerns regarding a toe injury.
