2024 Receiving Projections
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.

Catches TD versus Penn State
Egbuka caught all three targets for 31 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-13 win versus Penn State.
ANALYSIS
Egbuka got the Buckeyes on the board when he hauled in a wide-open 25-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter. The graduate senior wideout clearly didn't make much of an impact elsewhere, but the Buckeyes' passing game had a modest outing overall as quarterback Will Howard went 16-for-24 passing for 182 yards and two touchdowns to one interception. Egbuka has now scored six touchdowns in five games against Big Ten teams this season. But, he's totaled just six catches (on seven targets ) for 51 receiving yards across the last two weeks. He'll hope to get more looks during what should be a blowout win against Purdue this coming 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.
