"Emeka Egbuka, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A popular preseason sleeper, his ADP in ESPN leagues improving by more than three rounds over the past months, Egbuka was up to his billing in his NFL debut. His 23.6 PPR fantasy points were the most by a wide receiver in his first career game since Hollywood Brown's 30.7 in 2019, and he caught the game-winning touchdown with 59 seconds remaining. Egbuka lined up equally from the slot as outside, though he was much more successful in the latter alignment (14.8 of his points). He has a tougher Week 2 matchup in the Houston Texans but is a potential WR2 for so long as Chris Godwin Jr. is sidelined. -- Cockcroft"
"Justin Fields, QB and Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets:Both Fields and Wilson scored 20-plus points in a tough Week 1 draw versus the Pittsburgh defense. Fields (29.52 points) looked really comfortable in the Jets' passing game, completing 16-of-22 for 218 yards and score, while he also produced on designed carries and scramble attempts, rushing for 48 yards and two touchdowns. Wilson (22.5 points) caught seven of a team-high nine targets for 95 yards, which included a 33 yard touchdown grab. Given Fields' dual-threat usage in the Jets game plan, he'll be in my QB1 ranks for the Week 2 home matchup against the Bills, while Wilson's target share bumps him up into the upper-tier WR2 range. -- Bowen"

Emeka Egbuka totaled 23.6 PPR points in his NFL debut, the most by a wide receiver in a first career game since 2019, and caught the game-winning touchdown. Egbuka played both slot and outside, earning most of his production from outside alignments and is a potential WR2 while Chris Godwin Jr. remains sidelined. Justin Fields scored 29.52 points, completing 16-of-22 for 218 yards and a passing touchdown while rushing for 48 yards and two scores. Garrett Wilson totaled 22.5 points on seven catches for 95 yards and a 33-yard touchdown, boosting his WR2 outlook.
