Potential league winner if health improves; showed downfield wins despite low catchable rate.
Emeka EgbukaWRTB
Jacob Gibbs has discussed Emeka Egbuka as a potential league winner on multiple RotoWire shows and is higher on him than Ryan Heath and in line with Scott Barrett on ceiling projection. The key concern is a 58% catchable target rate on throws over the middle of the field—by far the lowest in the league (next lowest is 72%)—compared to Baker Mayfield's 80% rate to other receivers. However, this outcome was driven by injury circumstances: his offensive line got hurt, he got hurt, and his quarterback got hurt. The upside is that Egbuka demonstrated the ability to win downfield, which is impressive and suggests his bread-and-butter over-the-middle slot role can rebound with health and improved quarterback play.
