Brown (knee/ankle) and Carnell Tate (shoulder) are not expected to play. That opens the door for several sleepers on the Buccaneers, Patriots and Titans. In Tampa Bay, Chris Godwin should be viewed as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver against Atlanta; Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson are each worth a flier in deeper leagues and Cade Otton is a streaming tight end.
Egbuka didn't play in Week 7 at Carolina, but the Buccaneers only attempted 11 passes, with the run game and defense dominating the Panthers. That might not happen against the Falcons, who are No. 11 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Godwin had five targets against Carolina and finished with four catches for 27 yards.
He has yet to score a touchdown or reach 50 receiving yards in a game this season, but he has scored at least 10.3 PPR points in four games in a row against Atlanta. Hurst has two games this season with at least six targets, and he scored 11 PPR points in one of them. And Johnson caught his first touchdown of the season in Week 7 with Egbuka out but only had two catches for 33 yards.
Of that duo, I would lean toward Hurst, but either one could be viable against the Falcons. Atlanta is No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Otton scored at least 8.6 PPR points in two of four outings with Baker Mayfield this year. All of these guys should be in play for Mayfield with Egbuka out.
For New England, Hunter Henry is my favorite pass catcher, and I like him as a top-five Fantasy tight end in all leagues. He has scored at least 11.2 PPR points in four games in a row, including two touchdowns over that span, and the Dolphins are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Eli Raridon, who has scored at least 10.7 PPR points in two of his past three games, is also worth a look as a streamer in deeper leagues.
At receiver, Demario Douglas struggled in Week 7 at Chicago with three catches for 23 yards on four targets, but he scored at least 19.6 PPR points in each of his previous two games against Las Vegas and the Jets. I like Douglas as a high-end No. 3 receiver in all leagues. Efton Chism III scored at least 10.9 PPR points in the two games before Brown returned from his ankle injury in Week 6.
