Is Emeka Egbuka playing today? Why Bucs WR is off to slow start in Week 17 image

Emeka Egbuka has had a dynamic rookie season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025.

Egubuka has posted 59 receptions for 910 yards and six touchdowns this year. The Ohio State product is one of the best rookie receivers in football and has turned into a big-play threat in Tampa Bay's offense.

Though Egbuka is having a fantastic rookie campaign, he's been quiet so far in Tampa Bay's Week 17 game versus the Miami Dolphins.

Is Emeka Egbuka playing today?

Yes, Egbuka is active and playing.

However, he didn't haul in a reception or garner a target during the Bucs' opening drive, which ended in a Chris Godwin touchdown from Baker Mayfield.

Egbuka should be able to get it going soon, as he's been a reliable target for Mayfield all season.
