Top-10 target share with Cooper Cup role comparison; health is key.

Emeka EgbukaWRTB

Sophomore WR breakout candidate poised for year-two emergence. Egbuka was top-10 fantasy WR through week 11 last season before Buccaneers unraveled; offensive line injuries, Baker Mayfield playing through injuries, and Egbuka's own hamstring injury (no missed time) derailed second-half production (outside top 60 WR in PPG after week 11). Despite struggles, he posted 126 total targets as a rookie—top 10 overall among WR. No Mike Evans in offense anymore; coaching staff expects someone to step up as target hog. New OC Zach Robinson is comparing Egbuka's role to Cooper Cup, operating from Z spot in passing attack. If Egbuka recaptures healthy version from start of season when he was top-10, he's poised for breakout. Vacated targets especially valuable given Mike Evans' touchdown share.

Source transcript excerpt
Emeka Egbuka, who was a top 10 guy for the first few weeks of the season... 126 total targets. That was top 10 overall as a rookie wide receiver... No Mike Evans in this offense anymore... Zach Robinson, the new OC, comparing him into his role to a Cooper Cup... I think that's worth chasing for Egbuka, who's poised for a year two breakout.
