Emeka Egbuka soared up draft boards as the summer heated up. All offseason, quarterback Baker Mayfield praised the rookie for his ability to do everything right. 

Without Chris Godwin, Egbuka thrived in his debut. Egbuka had 4 receptions on 6 targets for 67 receiving yards. While this isn’t massive volume, it is an indicator of things to come. He was efficient and scored 2 touchdowns. Most notable, is the fact that Baker trusted Egbuka late targeting him with the game winning touchdown. 

Egbuka enters Monday Night Football as the WR4 on the week with 23.60 fantasy points. He’ll get a good weather matchup at the Houston Texans in Week 2. Fire him up with confidence!
