Quick answer
BuyEgbuka caught 63 passes for 938 yards in 2025, finishing WR19. He scored about 16% less than his touches said he should. Age 24 leaves room to grow — if opportunity sticks. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the WR role keeps opening up.
