2 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jaelon Darden only caught six passes for 43 yards on 12 targets in nine games in his rookie season in 2021. He displaced Jaydon Mickens in the return game but only managed 19.9 and 7.5 yards on 37 total kick and punt returns, respectively. Darden's roster spot was in jeopardy heading into this offseason, but he was a frequent target of quarterback Tom Brady in minicamp, and head coach Todd Bowles said Darden had a great offseason. The 23-year-old put in work on the playbook "three times per day" in the offseason and is more comfortable in the offense. Darden won't be on the fantasy radar to open the 2022 season, but his versatility could be an important asset for the Bucs' receiving depth with Chris Godwin (knee) unlikely to be ready for Week 1.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
