has recorded 100-plus yard outings against the likes of Seattle, Philadelphia, and New England this season, and the rookie wideout will be counted on to keep that pace on SNF.in and out with injuries, Egbuka has been the constant for Mayfield. He tops Tampa in targets by more than 30 passes, drawing nine or more targets in each of the last four games. Los Angeles’ pass defense ranks among the best on the season, but those numbers are a bit wonky due to some bad QB competition. The Rams have taken advantage of pop-gun air attacks, rookies, and backups — yet give up big gains and plenty of passing touchdowns to capable QBs. The past two weeks, L.A. has hemorrhaged yardage through the air, allowing almost 600 total yards against San Francisco and Seattle. Los Angeles has also been unable to limit top targets, owning the 17th DVOA versus WR1s despite sitting second in overall pass defense DVOA at LA runs one of the highest rates of zone coverage in the league, which sets up well for Mayfield and Egbuka.

Baker Mayfield can also do damage against a Rams pass defense that isn’t as good as its stats would lead you to believe. Egbuka is Tampa’s top target, and his Week 12 projections call for a big night in La-La Land. Some models are as high as 82 yards on SNF.The Bucs’ run defense won’t let Sean McVay get going on the ground, while the Tampa offense can trade shots with L.A.Egbuka has stepped up with huge receiving efforts against some top NFL defenses.Since Baker Mayfield took over under center in 2023, the Bucs have been underdogs of +6.5 or higher only six times.
