The pair of Emeka Egbuka and Bucky Irving had an offensive explosion on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to beat the defending Super Bowl champs. Egbuka caught a deep pass that split two defenders for a 77-yard TD, the longest touchdown catch by a rookie in franchise history. The volume was not there for Egbuka, but he still managed to have four catches, 101 yards and a touchdown. Emeka has burst onto the NFL scene, becoming one of the most dynamic receivers to start the year and has taken advantage of the opportunity brought on by injuries to veterans Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Bucky Irving had to get in on the big plays, highlighting his day with a 72-yard catch and score in the final minutes of the third quarter. Irving did most of his damage through the air, reminding fantasy owners that he is one of the best dual-threat running backs in the NFL and finished the game with 63 yards rushing on 15 carries and five receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown.

The Bucs look to get back into the win column in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. Moving forward, both Egbuka and Irving are set-it-and-forget assets in any format.
