The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got bad news for their receiver room. Second year player, Jalen McMillan has suffered a sprained neck after falling on the back of his head in a preseason matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

The injury could keep McMillan out past the team’s Week 9 bye. With Chris Godwin not looking like a lock to start the season healthy, what was once a major depth piece for the Buccaneers is now becoming somewhat thinner. Fortunately, rookie Ohio State phenom Emeka Egbuka will be able to fill in. Egbuka has drawn high praise from starting quarterback Baker Mayfield and scored a touchdown in the matchup with the Steelers. 

Egbuka is going in the middle of round 6 on Underdog and should see his ADP continue to rise. Mike Evans who is a near lock for 1,000 yards receiving every year can be drafted in the early part of round 4. Expect Godwin’s ADP to fall into the 9th round while McMillan will be lucky to be drafted at this point between now and the start of the season (current round 15 ADP).
