Ohio State Buckeyes
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Marvin Harrison is gone, and Egbuka is primed for his best season yet. The wide receiver saw his usage decline from 2022 to 2023, with more than 500 fewer receiving yards between the seasons. Although the 2023 campaign wasn't his best (41-515-4), the two pass catchers with more yards than him, Harrison and tight end Cade Stover, are no longer Buckeyes, paving the way for Egbuka to take over top-dog honors. Ohio State now has talented Kansas State transfer Will Howard under center, and he's likely viewed as an upgrade under center from Kyle McCord, who transferred to Syracuse this offseason. With a solid signal-caller at the helm in Howard and the opportunities that will be present, Egbuka should rank among the best fantasy wideouts in the Big Ten and perhaps the country in 2024.

Logs four targets Week 12
November 20, 2024
Egbuka caught two of four targets for 25 yards during Saturday's 31-7 win versus Northwestern.
ANALYSIS
Egbuka logged four or fewer targets for the fourth week in a row. The graduate senior was a significant part of the passing game to begin the Buckeyes' Big Ten schedule, but he's gotten less targets as sophomore wideouts like Carnell Tate and Brandon Inniss have worked into the passing game more. Meanwhile, true freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith has been the standout star in the receiving corps. Egbuka's target share will be hard to predict in what is such a star-laden offense. But, his talent combined with playing in such a high-powered offense will always give him a significant ceiling in any given game. Egbuka will look to play a bigger role against 10-0 Indiana on Saturday.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Egbuka is often overshadowed by his fellow Buckeye wide receiver, the unbelievable Marvin Harrison. However, Egbuka shouldn't be taken lightly. He'd be the top wideout option in almost every receiver core in the country besides Ohio State. Last year, he tallied 74 catches for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns as the second-leading receiver on the Buckeyes' prolific offense. With Harrison returning for another year, Egbuka will again be the number two receiver in Columbus. A lot is riding on the development of Kyle McCord, Ohio State's heir apparent to C.J. Stroud. There's a chance McCord can't quite live up to the lofty standards set by Stroud, but head coach Ryan Day has always deployed a formidable offensive unit. A slight drop-off in offensive efficiency and production would still make the Buckeyes one of the top units in the country. Egbuka should be one of the primary beneficiaries of a passing game that has remained dynamic over the course of several new quarterbacks.
