"Egbuka was selected by Tampa Bay in the first round of April's draft. Whether it's size, age, 40 time or collegiate usage and efficiency, Egbuka falls right in the middle of basically every category relative to the rest of this WR class. The Ohio State product was primarily a slot (73%), short-range (8.6 aDOT) target in college, but was productive, catching 72% of his targets and posting a strong 2.64 YPRR. Also a rushing and return threat, Egbuka will have a role right out of the gate, but just how sizable it is will depend on the health of Chris Godwin (ankle). If Godwin is sidelined (and with Jalen McMillan also injured), Egbuka will be well positioned for a major early-career role that could vault him into the WR3 mix. Once Godwin is back, however, consistent fantasy output may be hard to find. Egbuka is worth a mid-round pick and is a terrific dynasty hold."


"The rookie was surprisingly able to play through his hamstring strain, and he finished with a team-high target total while tying for second in both receptions and receiving yards. Egbuka also provided a team-high 30-yard catch, and given Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Mike Evans has been diagnosed with a broken collarbone following his first-half exit from Monday's game, the 2025 first-round pick is set to play an elevated role for the rest of the season. Egbuka could be especially busy in Sunday's Week 8 road matchup against the Saints, considering Chris Godwin (fibula) could remain sidelined for that divisional clash."

"Etienne was selected by Carolina in the fourth round of April's draft. Travis' brother was effective as both a rusher and receiver (3.46 YAC, 3.8 forced missed tackle rate and class-best 91% catch rate) during his three seasons at Florida and Georgia. Size (5-foot-8, 198 pounds) could limit his NFL workload ceiling, but Etienne has a three-down skill set and is one of the youngest backs in this class. He'll spend his rookie campaign developing behind lead back Chuba Hubbard and likely Rico Dowdle, and will eventually battle Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks for work in a suddenly crowded Carolina backfield. Etienne is worth rostering only in deep and dynasty leagues."


"The rookie running back from Georgia continued to work in a reserve role, as Rico Dowdle tallied 239 total yards and a touchdown on 34 touches in the Panthers' Week 6 win. Etienne has now rushed 15 times for 76 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards over his first six games as a pro. He's expected to remain a depth option in Carolina's backfield while operating as the team's kick and punt returner in a Week 7 matchup against the Jets."
