Egbuka's declining workload faces Vikings' elite pressure and Mayfield's poor performance under duress.

Egbuka should be avoided or benched in favor of other roster options in Week 3 against the Vikings. Week 2 raised concerns about his workload volatility: after leading the Buccaneers in targets against the Bengals, he fell behind rookie Ted Hurst in Week 2 with more downfield looks creating volatility rather than efficiency. The Vikings' defense presents a difficult matchup with a 40.0% pressure rate on passes to WRs, and Baker Mayfield has been susceptible under pressure (EPA per dropback of -0.77, 28th; sack rate under pressure of 36.8%, 29th). DC Brian Flores' ability to create pressure compounds the issue.
