Egbuka's -6.4% catch rate over expected limits upside despite target volume.

Egbuka is ranked WR26 and boasts the position's second-worst mark in Next-Gen Stats' catch rate over expected (-6.4%) among 105 qualified WRs. He's one of just four wide receivers with a passer rating when targeted less than 60. Good things have generally not happened when throwing Egbuka the ball this season. The Buccaneers force-fed him in Weeks 5-6 (25 targets), but the source is refraining from moving him up too highly until seeing a more normal pass-balanced game plan. No. 1 Falcons CB A.J. Terrell shadowed Mike Evans for 50-plus percent of his routes last season, so Egbuka could face that treatment.
