on a day Baker only threw for 167

Sorry for the rest of the NFC south the Bucs have two future hall of fame WRs on their team
In all seriousness, great start for the rookie! In a day Baker wasn’t his sharpest either. Excited to watch his growth this season.

Stud. Wish I had a share. Missed him everywhere in redraft.
You're buying high. Don't.
If he’s a league winner then you got to pay up.
Everyone's a league winner in week 1.
I own him. Love it. Excited, but would certainly love to see a crazy overpay in my trade window tmrw.

Godwin is really really good too.

Egbuka will be an eventual stud but now D's will be looking at him harder loosening up Evans more. Throw Godwin coming back in 2-3 weeks and Baker spreading it around more.
UncleZen
Footballguy
There is plenty of room for all 3. Baker spreads the ball around and Evans will still draw the extra coverage downfield.

I wouldn’t be too confident in Godwin coming back soon, being as effective as he once was, and dominating targets.
It won’t be that certain or easy.

Disagree. He'll be back in 3 weeks max and will get plenty of targets. He won't be as dominant at least early on but will definitely lower Egbuka's value.

He’s off PUP, but has he even started practicing yet? Godwin is awesome, but that was a truly ugly injury.
And didn’t he have to have another surgery just recently to ‘adjust some hardware’? My expectations for him this year are very limited.

Drafted Golden over him lmao. Wow that was a bad move. Thought this guy is just a high floor chain mover but two tds already. Sheesh
Had to choose between them two and Worthy. I unfortunately chose Worthy over Egbuka. Learned my lesson.

Lesson is to be able to see into the future? I think Worthy would have had a good game if it was not cut 58 minutes short, but we will never know!

Saw this coming, especially early in the season, but got nary a season-long share.

I did the same. I think it was the right move starting Worthy. We can’t control what happens after we set our lineup. At least we know whom to start this week.

Two bootiful tuddies.

Even with Godwin back this kid isn’t coming off the field much.
Their offense will just get better and the opportunities will multiply.
Hope they can get and stay healthy because the weapons here are the best in the NFL if they’re all on the field.

This guy is the real deal. Twitter says that Mike Evans said he called the TD play in the huddle. Like I've been saying in this thread and elsewhere, this guy is brilliant and his intelligence is going to be a huge factor in his immediate success. Wow. David Zach's interview scores are really worth reading.

Love this. I suck at Fantasy Football, but sometimes I am soooo lucky.

I remember in an interview, I believe it was New Heights, Baker said one of the things he was impressed with from Egbuka was that he never leaves the ground unnecessarily, as in he’s always catching in stride, and that his YAC potential is through the roof.
We get a glimpse of what he was talking about on Egbuka’s touchdowns. Just silky smooth motion through the catch.

I read that Egbuka was a five tool baseball prospect that played outfield coming out of high school. Makes sense why he’s so smooth catching the ball.

Done deal, #4 on the rookie rankings, and I think there's potential to gain more ground before the year is up. I know dynasty value charts count for nothing, but I definitely gave myself a little heartburn wondering if I made the right choice passing on a physical specimen like Tetairoa. We'll see how it works out, but it's no longer a matter of making the wrong pick, but not selling high if it doesn't work out.

yeah he's not right
Other than showing that clip of him being wrapped there wasn't another word said about it (unless I missed it). Obviously something was going on as he was shut out in the second half (which cost me a game) but he was in all the way until the end.
Anybody know what the issue is and if it is really an issue?

I dont know but if you watched you probably saw, they nearly zipped a 70 yard TD to him
yep. not a great pass but one that could have been caught. I could have used that reception as it would have given me the win.

He was wide open on that deep crosser on the final drive too-- probably a 40 yard gain. Baker led him up field and into the safety.

I did the same. I'm a big believer in always taking BPA in rookie drafts and I had Egbuka ranked ahead of Kaleb but I veered from that strategy in one league where I was desperate for RB's. I won't make that mistake again.He should have caught that last ball, but yeah this guy is a stud. To think I drafted Kaleb Johnson over him in one of my PPR dynasty leagues

Stephania Bell just said watch the injury report. She’s concerned.

Few here have stanned Booka more than me - I think I was among the very earliest (first?) to draft him at the 5/6 turn - but I think it's important to note that even w/o Godwin on the field, and the team needing to play comeback football into the fourth quarter of both games, that EE is only averaging 6.5 targets and less than 50 yards per game through the first couple weeks.
Good news is he's very clearly flashing the blaring lights that some of us were excited about even before the first preseason game, but until he gets more targets per game on average, I am concerned that he's too TD dependent to be anything more than a WR3 this year. Still an evolving situation, and now add this injury to muddy. It's odd to see so many crowning him based on the last two weeks and now finding myself on that other side of that sentiment to some degree.

Starting Keon Coleman in many leagues tonight as a Buka contingency, if he plays, i feel like he's limited
