Sharp take

This isn't close. Egbuka's sharp rank of 45 and 53.1 VORP dwarf Golden's replacement-level -0.9, and the early-season points totals back it up. Golden is a name-brand rookie riding preseason buzz into a soft workload; Egbuka is already a top-tier producer in a better offense. Start Egbuka without hesitation, sit Golden if you have any alternative.
