Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Emeka Egbuka

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans didn't have a great season opener, but was still able to contribute in the win. Evans hauled in five of his eight targets for 51 yards in the victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wideout finished with the team-high in receptions and targets. However, Evans saw his fantasy value take a dip with Emeka Egubka and Bucky Irving catching the three touchdowns. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as Evans is one of the most consistent wideouts in the league. He should get the benefit of the doubt and remain on the WR1 radar for the upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka got his NFL career started off with a bang last week. The rookie wideout hauled in four of his six targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Atlanta Falcons. He delivered a beautiful 30-yard score in the second quarter. Egbuka found the end zone again with a 25-yard grab as the game-winning score. It's tough to have a much better debut than that right there. He figures to continue having a significant role in the offense with Chris Godwin (ankle) and Jalen McMillan (neck) both out. In PPR formats, Egbuka should be viewed as a low-end WR2 for the upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans.
