    Emeka Egbuka left practice Wednesday with an apparent injury.

    Egbuka reportedly limped off the practice field Wednesday with the help of Bucs trainers and was examined on the sideline for a while before watching the rest of practice with his cleats off. Though the Bucs are likely being cautious with the second-year stud receiver, Egbuka’s status will be well worth monitoring in the coming days. An Egbuka absence would open up an opportunity for WR Ted Hurst, who has impressed throughout the offseason.

    Hurst has seen his role eaten into by downfield threat Tez Johnson as the season has progressed, clearly not yet ready to take on a full workload in the offense as he enters the second month of his rookie season. Hurst brings the size and physicality to grow into a consistent producer at the NFL level, something fantasy managers could have to be patient with in the coming weeks. Hurst safely remains a bench stash ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Steelers.

    Egbuka’s nine targets handily led the team on a night undrafted free agent rookie Jalon Daniels attempted only 25 passes. The team also demonstrated an active desire to get Egbuka more involved following a four-target game against the Packers a week ago, feeding him a red zone carry on a jet sweep for his touchdown score. Egbuka remains at the mercy of the team’s lackluster quarterback situation for at least another week, pending Baker Mayfield’s injury. He’ll be a shaky WR3 against the Steelers in Week 6.
  • TB Wide Receiver #2
    Egbuka had been operating as the Bucs’ No. 1 receiver until this game. With Jalon Daniels struggling to get the deep ball going, he opted for easy completions to Cade Otton and Chris Godwin, who combined for 10 catches. Egbuka, in turn, was hung out to dry. He almost saved the day with a touchdown catch, but the throw was low and behind him. Egbuka still had a chance to bring in the pass but couldn’t corral it with a Green Bay defender smothering him in coverage. Egbuka hasn’t topped 64 yards in a game since Week 10 of last year. With Daniles under center for a few more weeks, it may be a while before Egbuka hits triple digits again. He is barely a WR3 for his Week 5 date with the Cowboys.

    Hurst was the only Bucs pass-catcher to gain more than 20 yards on a single play. The passing game was otherwise relegated to intermediate throws and check-downs in Jalon Daniels’ first start. With Jalen McMillan on IR, Hurst has locked up a starting role. That simply is worth much for fantasy managers with a backup quarterback under center. Hurst will be a desperation FLEX play when he takes on the Cowboys next week.
  • TB Wide Receiver #17
    Hurst caught a perfectly-placed 40-yard score down the seam in the first half and did not see another look from Baker Mayfield. It wasn’t a lack of playing time that limited Hurst: He ran a route on 39 of the team’s 43 drop backs on the day. His downfield profile will make Hurst a volatile weekly play in 12-team leagues. He should probably stay on benches next week against the Dolphins if Mayfield (hand) is sidelined, however.
  • TB Wide Receiver #2
    Egbuka once again led the Tampa offense in targets and receptions but did not seem to be on the same page with Baker Mayfield. It’s a recurring theme in the early season that might not be worked out any time soon if Mayfield misses time with a hand injury he sustained in the fourth quarter against Minnesota. Egbuka should remain in lineups even if Jadon Daniels gets a start for the Bucs in Week 4 against Miami. He has 141 receiving yards through three games in the dysfunctional Tampa offense.
  • TB Wide Receiver #17
    Hurst was overthrown by Baker Mayfield a few times in the second half. It could have been a big day for the speedy rookie if his quarterback weren’t struggling so mightily with deep throws. Hurst had a solid role though, running a route on 29 of the team’s 37 drop backs. He will be a high-variance flex play for Week 3 against the Vikings if Mayfield can find a little accuracy.
  • TB Wide Receiver #2
    Egbuka was oh-so-close to a big game but Baker Mayfield remained wildly inaccurate in this one. Mayfield connected with Egbuka for a short score in the first half — the only positive play in the pass game for the struggling Tampa offense. While Cade Otton led the Bucs with six targets, Egbuka remains the team’s clear No. 1 target and should bounce back sooner rather than later. He should remain in all lineups next week against the Vikings.
  • TB Wide Receiver #11
    The Bucs are going to ease McMillan back into the lineup after he missed Week 1 with the knee injury. McMillan will take rookie Ted Hurst’s spot in the lineup once healthy, but that might not happen until Week 3. Until we see what their split looks like, neither Hurst nor McMillan should be in fantasy lineups.
  • TB Wide Receiver #11
    McMillan missed Week 1 due to a knee issue, despite getting in three limited practices during the week. He was listed as doubtful and the team ruled him out ahead of kickoff. It seems like the team was taking a cautious approach with his return from the training camp injury, and he should be good for Week 2. McMillan is expected to take rookie Ted Hurst’s spot in the lineup at X. Hurst managed just three catches for 36 yards in the role. In his first game of the season, McMillan will be buried in the WR5 ranks for fantasy purposes.

    Isaiah Davis rushed two times for eight yards in the Jets’ Week 5 win over the Browns, adding a nine-yard reception.

    Davis at least touched the ball after his Week 4 doughnut, but Pro Football Focus charted him as getting out-snapped 60-10 by fill-in No. 2 Braelon Allen. Decisive, to say the least. Even if Breece Hall (quad) is forced to miss his third straight game in Week 6, Davis hasn’t shown enough to warrant a 12-team league looksee.

    Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said David Montgomery (groin) may miss “some time.”

    It sounds like Montgomery is in danger of missing both the Jaguars and Giants games before Houston’s Week 8 bye, assuming this is just a mild injury. Woody Marks will take over as Houston’s lead back for the time being and could be in for sizable role given how no other back received a snap or touch once Montgomery went down in Week 5.

    Deebo Samuel (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 5’s game against the Seahawks.

    That didn’t take long. Just moments after leaving the game, it was announced that Samuel had suffered a hamstring injury and would not return to the field. Shortly after being ruled out, Samuel was shown walking gingerly to the locker room with trainers. His day ends with a 2-21-0 line on three targets. Samuel also had two carries for four yards and a lost fumble, which came on the play he was injured on.

    Isaiah Williams caught 1-of-2 targets for 16 yards in the Jets’ Week 5 win over the Browns, adding a three-yard rush.

    Fill-in No. 2 wideout Williams is stuck on just four catches in three games during Adonai Mitchell’s surprisingly lengthy absence with a finger injury. The fact that Mitchell was not placed on I.R. suggests the Jets were not expecting more than a three-game absence, so Mitchell could be back as soon as Week 6 against the Patriots. Either way, Williams has not shown enough to earn a spot on 12-team league benches.

    Deebo Samuel exited in the third quarter of Week 5’s game against the Seahawks.

    Samuel went down after being tripped up on a run play and remained down for an extended period of time after the play. It was hard to tell exactly what happened on the play, but Samuel was able to make his way to the sideline and could be seen sitting on the bench while being evaluated by trainers. We will provide an update on his status when we receive one.

    Raheim Sanders rushed three times for 12 yards in the Browns’ Week 5 loss to the Jets, adding a one-yard reception.

    Sanders also lost a few snaps to Jaleel McLaughlin. 4-5 touches have been Sanders’ weekly norm, but that could change for Week 6 against the Ravens after Quinshon Judkins was spotted with his right foot in a boot following today’s contest. There have not been any indications Judkins is dealing with something serious, but it’s a situation worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday evening’s waiver wire run.

    Isaiah Bond caught 3-of-7 targets for 74 yards in the Browns’ Week 5 loss to the Jets.

    With KC Concepcion lost to a first quarter concussion, second-year pro Bond was the next man up. His 74 yards were the second most of his career after he entered today with just 12 yards all season under new head coach Todd Monken. He notched gains of 20, 24 and 30 yards, which will undoubtedly catch the attention of the coach and quarterback. So will the shaky hands Bond displayed on a number of other targets. Bond is at best the No. 4 weapon when this offense is at full health, and Concepcion could easily be cleared for Week 6 against the Ravens. Bond is not worth a 12-team league flier at this time.

    Harold Fannin

    CLE Tight End #44

    Harold Fannin caught 1-of-4 targets for four yards in the Browns’ Week 5 loss to the Jets.

    Fannin’s worst game of the season came in rainy New Jersey conditions. That obviously held down the Browns’ passing-game production, but it’s confusing they weren’t drawing up more manufactured, chain-moving looks for their YAC-focused tight end. Fannin established a 2026 ceiling the past two weeks, but today’s effort reminds of just how low his floor can be with Deshaun Watson under center and more target competition in the skill corps.
