While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were dealing with injuries at the wide receiver spot earlier in the season, rookie Emeka Egbuka stepped up big time.
However, Egbuka's production has declined significantly over the past four games and things don't figure to get any better now that Tampa Bay is fully healthy at the wide receiver position.
So, it comes as no surprise that Egbuka is off to slow start in the Week 15 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Here's more details behind his lackluster start.
Is Emeka Egbuka playing tonight?
Yes, Egbuka is active and healthy, and he was targeted on the opening series but just couldn't connect with quarterback Baker Mayfield.
As we said before, targets will be tougher to come by the rest of this season now that Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Chris Godwin are all healthy.
Hopefully Egbuka gets going soon and posts a big night, but we wouldn't bet on it.
