Zac Robinson moved Egbuka all over the formation, leading all wideouts in routes run with motion at the snap (11), including Tampa Bay's very first play of scrimmage. Between that and a 21.9% crossing route rate (up from his 13.6% as a rookie)... when facing Cover-1 last season, Egbuka saw a healthy 26% target share, while seeing a target on 33% of his routes against man coverage this past weekend.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Egbuka's 11 motion routes and 33% target rate vs. man coverage position him well against Cleveland's Cover-1.

Egbuka projects well against Cleveland's league-leading man coverage rate (38% in Week 1, most Cover-1 snaps). Zac Robinson is deploying motion-heavy scheme to neutralize elite corner Denzel Ward: Egbuka led all wideouts in routes run with motion at snap (11 routes) and increased crossing route rate to 21.9% (up from 13.6% as rookie). Against Cover-1 last season, Egbuka saw 26% target share; in Week 1 vs. man coverage, he saw targets on 33% of routes. This scheme evolution makes it difficult for defenses to shadow him effectively.
