STACKED’s take
Egbuka's 17+ fantasy points in back-to-back weeks signal breakout emergence as WR2/3.
Egbuka has emerged as a WR2/3 after producing 52 yards and one touchdown on seven touches in Week 5 and 48 yards and one touchdown on seven touches in Week 6, posting fantasy point totals of 17.2 and 17.8 respectively—a significant step forward after failing to reach 12.0 points in any of his prior 12 games. His target volume has been very good with a 26% share on the season, including a career-high 16 targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday. However, Baker Mayfield may return in Week 7; in his three games with Mayfield this season, Egbuka averaged 6.7 targets and 10.9 fantasy PPG. The Panthers have been solid against receivers this season despite both starting corners being sidelined and DeVonta Smith just posting 7-75-1 on Sunday. Regardless of which QB is under center, Egbuka has found his way back into the WR2/3 mix.
