Egbuka's WR12 pace without Evans and Mayfield's injury, plus Kupp-like praise, supports top-13.
Egbuka's rookie season split dramatically: WR9 through Week 11, then WR64 from Weeks 12-18. Baker Mayfield's AC Joint sprain in Week 12 caused Egbuka's catchable ball rate to drop to 50% (tied for worst among WRs) from 61% in Weeks 1-11. Egbuka also suffered a Week 6 hamstring injury that robbed him of top speed; NFL Next Gen Stats showed 11 routes of 18+ mph through Week 5, then only 11 such routes in the remaining 12 weeks. His target share jumped from 18.5% to 28.5% without Mike Evans, and expected half-PPR points vaulted from 8.9 (WR41) to 12.5 (WR12). With Evans in San Francisco and Godwin aging, plus new OC Zac Robinson (who turned Cooper Kupp into record-breaking production with the Rams) saying Egbuka is 'very similar to a Cooper Kupp just in terms of the way that his brain works,' the source projects top-13 WR finish.
