Elic Ayomanor vs Emeka Egbuka: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Elic Ayomanor and Emeka Egbuka is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Tennessee Titans wide receiver put up 6.0 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Emeka Egbuka of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers averaged 9.7 in 17. A 3.7-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.7 points favors Emeka Egbuka, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Target volume is the story here. Emeka Egbuka saw 127 targets in 2025, while Elic Ayomanor drew 89. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Emeka Egbuka, even in weeks where Elic Ayomanor posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Elic Ayomanor has his bye in Week 5, and Emeka Egbuka rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
