Emeka Egbuka is Expected to Miss Week 7
Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), is expected to "miss some time," including Week 7. Based on news from Rapoport earlier this week, it should not come as a surprise that Egbuka is expected to miss Week 7's Monday Night Football game against the Detroit Lions. With Egbuka set to miss Week 7, wide receivers Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, Kameron Johnson, and tight end Cade Otton should all see an increase in workload with Egbuka, Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (ankle), Jalen McMillan (neck), and Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) all sidelined. The silver lining to all of this is that Rapoport suggests Egbuka's injury is "not as severe" as Evans', who has been sidelined since Week 4. Egbuka fantasy managers should plan contingencies if they haven't already, for the next week or two. Shepard, Johnson, and Johnson all feature as long-shot WR3 throws in deeper leagues, while Otton holds some low-end TE1 value.
