Egbuka should operate as the Z receiver; Cincinnati's (only) strength on defense was on the outside; the Bengals were able to limit opposing boundary WRs to the fewest fantasy points allowed.

Egbuka's outside role faces Cincinnati's elite boundary coverage in a difficult Week 1.

Egbuka returns healthy for Tampa Bay's 2026 debut but faces a challenging matchup against Cincinnati. With Chris Godwin manning the slot, Egbuka operates as the Z receiver, losing press coverage advantages. Cincinnati ranked 2nd in fewest passing YPG allowed to outside WRs and 1st in PPR PPG allowed, limiting opposing boundary WRs with DJ Turner and Dax Hill. The Bengals have further improved their defensive spine. Without a TD, Egbuka may disappoint despite potential for a big play or two.
