Video: Top 10 Takeaways You NEED to Know BEFORE Week 16 (PLAYOFFS)
When we see these route shares go down after Chris Godwin is ramping up, after Mike Evans is ramping up... 63% of routes is brutal, right? He's he's less than Jaden Higgins this week, which is unheard of for Egbuka over the entire year, but he still ran 25 routes.

Route share at season low (63%) as vets ramp up; still posted 20+ PPR.

Emeka Egbuka's route share dropped to 63% this week—his lowest of the season and below Jaden Higgins—as Chris Godwin and Mike Evans ramp up in must-win games; the source suspects Egbuka hasn't performed well over the last 5–10 weeks, prompting the Buccaneers to lean on veterans. However, in raw routes Egbuka still ran 25 (only two fewer than Tyler Warren's 27 and three fewer than McMillan's 28), and he posted his best game since week 10 with 20+ PPR points, seven targets, four catches, 64 yards, an 82.4 PFF grade, and 2.56 yards per route run. The source downgrades him to boom-bust WR3 but retains him as a flex option with upside in do-or-die playoff games.
