Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has had a great start to his career through the first two games of the season. He has been one of the most effective rookies this year, making eight receptions for 96 yards and three TDs so far this season. However, he has also struggled with injuries.
Egbuka missed practice on Thursday before returning on Friday. He is listed as questionable on the injury report, but according to a report from insider Adam Schefter, Egbuka will play in Week 3. So, fantasy owners will be able to put him in their lineups. However, he is expected to have his snap count monitored, so it could impact his effectiveness for fantasy owners.
“Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka, who is expected to play today vs. the Jets despite hip and groin injuries, is expected to have his snaps monitored and potentially limited based on how he feels during the game, per source,” Schefter wrote.

What Does Emeka Egbuka Having His Snaps Monitored Mean for Fantasy Owners?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be happy to have Emeka Egbuka ready to go on Sunday as they get ready for a matchup against the New York Jets. However, since his snaps will be monitored, it could mean his effectiveness could be limited for fantasy owners. In a close game, it is possible that Egbuka will get near his normal number of snaps and targets.
However, if the Buccaneers start to establish a big lead, as is expected against the Jets, Egbuka might be taken out of the game for precautionary reasons. As a result, fantasy owners might be better off starting another wide receiver, especially if they have a high-end option available.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets are set to compete at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. The Buccaneers enter the game undefeated, whereas the Jets are winless.
