Who Should I Start? Greg Dortch or Emeka Egbuka

Managers in need of a streaming wide receiver should look elsewhere rather than risk starting Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch, who is facing a horrible matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Not only has the Seattle defense allowed the second-fewest points to fantasy receivers, the diminutive slot receiver has been a non-factor this season. Through three weeks, Dortch has only four catches on four targets for a meager 12 yards. Dortch is an effective special teamer, giving him some value in formats that score return yards, but he's not getting anywhere near enough volume on offense to be considered in standard formats.

When asked if Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is a potential Rookie of the Year candidate in 2025, head coach Todd Bowles said, "Right now, we don't even consider him a rookie." Egbuka was the talk of training camp this summer, and he's carried it over into the first regular-season games of his NFL career, catching 14 of his 21 targets for 181 yards and three touchdowns as the WR2 with Chris Godwin (ankle) still out. The Ohio State product had three touchdowns in his first two games and then set season highs in catches (six), targets (eight), and receiving yards (85) in the Week 3 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Egbuka will have more competition for targets when Godwin returns (possibly in Week 4), but the rookie will remain a big part of the passing attack all year long. He has quickly become a must-start in all fantasy leagues.
