Bucs pull a Week 1 thriller in Atlanta as Mayfield overcomes early rust, finding Emeka Egbuka on a key deep ball and Jaxon Smith-Njigba for two touchdowns, including the late game-winner. Tampa Bay climbs atop the NFC South and faces primetime Houston with a renewed sense of momentum. The win also fans the flames of fantasy optimism around Egbuka and Mayfield’s connection, even with Wirfs sidelined, while Evans looms as the primary red-zone option as the defense clamps down late.

Fantasy implications center on Egbuka’s emergence as a reliable target behind Evans, Mayfield’s improved rhythm, and the inevitable adjustments once Chris Godwin returns. TB’s Week 2 showcase against the Texans could crystallize roles, especially if Godwin remains limited and the offense continues to lean on the rookie and a retooled line.
