Deebo Samuel and Emeka Egbuka face tough fantasy decisions for Week 4
Summary

As Week 4 of the NFL season approaches, fantasy football managers must choose between starting San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel or Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka. Samuel has shown improved performance with nine receptions for 159 yards and two touchdowns over the past three weeks, and he may benefit from increased snap share if Mike Evans does not play. In contrast, Egbuka's production has lagged with 13 receptions for 141 yards and one touchdown, amid struggles for the Buccaneers' passing game. Egbuka faces a solid Green Bay Packers defense, leading to a recommendation for managers to start Samuel this week.
