Emeka Egbuka misses practice Friday after a limited practice Thursday (foot); ruled out

Out (concussion). Fantasy football: Egbuka is out against Atlanta after missing Friday practice. Chris Godwin Jr. and Ted Hurst III stand to see more work in…

Emeka Egbuka did not practise Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He had practised in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday with concussion and foot injuries before missing Friday's session with the foot issue alone.

Egbuka cannot play this week, so he does nothing for fantasy lineups against Atlanta. His absence opens up targets in Tampa Bay's passing game, with Chris Godwin Jr. and Ted Hurst III next on the depth chart at receiver. Over his last 3 games he averaged 90 per cent of snaps with a 30 per cent target share before missing Week 7.

Emeka Egbuka

Egbuka is out against the Falcons after progressing to limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before missing Friday. Over his last 3 games he averaged 10.3 half-PPR points a game on 9.7 targets and 5 receptions a game with a 90 per cent snap share and 30 per cent target share. He caught 7 passes for 48 yards and 1 touchdown on 16 targets in Week 6 against Pittsburgh.

Our models show his role is worth more than his recent points, with his usage predicting 13.9 half-PPR points a game over his last 3 games whilst he scored 10.3. Over his last 3 games his weighted opportunity rating was 0.76 (8th of 180 receivers) and his air yards share was 44 per cent (9th of 180). His absence against Atlanta, who allow 27.5 half-PPR points a game to receivers (the 12th most of 32), opens up work for Chris Godwin Jr. and Ted Hurst III.

What to do

• Bench Emeka Egbuka in all formats with his out designation.

• Chris Godwin Jr. becomes a stronger play with Egbuka sidelined against Atlanta's easier-than-most defence against receivers.

• Monitor Egbuka's practice status next week before committing him to your lineup.
