Emeka Egbuka's situation in Tampa Bay reminds me of the circumstances that greeted fellow Ohio State alum Jaxon Smith-Njigba's arrival in Seattle: both ended up on teams with two solid vets playing ahead of them. In JSN's case, it was DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett blocking his upside. Despite Metcalf and Lockett's presence, JSN still carved out a 63/628/4 stat line. Not eyepopping, but enough to signal his potential. The same should be expected for Egbuka. The biggest concern is Egbuka played 75 percent of his snaps in the slot at Ohio State last season -- the same position as Godwin. How will those snaps be divvied up in 2025?
In the short-term, expect Egbuka's production to be limited because of Evans and Godwin's presence and continued dominance. But in the long-term, he should become a productive fantasy stud that sees him ascend to a low-end WR2 before long, similar to JSN's trajectory. What does that mean for 2025? It means taking a flyer on Egbuka late in your draft with the hope that he gets enough playing time to put up numbers, or keep him on ice in case one of the vets ahead of him misses time due to injury.

 No team activities for Chris Godwin when camp begins
Dislocated ankle
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Jul 21, 1:00 pm
|  | Chris Godwin will be held out of team-related activities to begin training camp while he recovers from a dislocated ankle.
Bucs veterans report to camp Tuesday with the first workout scheduled Wednesday morning. Godwin, 29, will work with trainers rehabbing the injury he sustained in Week 7 last season against the Ravens. (Tampa Bay Times)
FFToday's Take: Godwin will be eased into camp and likely see his workload increase as the Summer moves along. GM Jason Licht said "we're hopeful it's Week 1 but nobody can guarantee that". It wouldn't be a shock if Godwin missed the first couple weeks but that's just speculation. Rookie Emeka Egbuka is capable of filling Godwin's role and the team also has Jalen McMillan fourth on the depth chart.
