Egbuka's elite 20.4 PPR/game start derailed by injury; healthy return expected
Emeka EgbukaWRTB
Through the first five weeks of his rookie season, Egbuka averaged 20.4 PPR points and 94.5 receiving yards per game before a Week 6 hamstring injury derailed his campaign. Pre-injury metrics were elite: 2.50 yards per route run (13th), 5.9 YAC per reception (9th), and 17.8 yards per catch (4th). Post-injury (Weeks 7-18), those numbers collapsed to 1.40 YPRR (61st), 5.0 YAC (16th), and 13.0 YPC (32nd). Entering 2026 healthy, with Baker Mayfield also at full strength after a Week 12 shoulder sprain, Egbuka should return to form. During Egbuka's hot start, 76% of his targets were catchable; from Weeks 13-18 with injured Mayfield, only 51% were catchable.
