Jaydon Mickens Rejoins Buccaneers After Clearing Waivers
4 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers kick/punt returner Jaydon Mickens had been placed on waivers Monday, but just a day later, he rejoined the team's practice squad after not being claimed. Mickens has combined for 388 yards on 27 returns this year, although his role on special teams appears to have been ceded to Kenjon Barner. With a surplus of options at wide receiver, Mickens has made just seven catches for 58 yards this season, making him more integral to the Buccaneers Defense/special teams unit than as an individual asset. Irrespective of who returns kicks, Tampa Bay has emerged as a premier D/ST due to the stingy nature of its defense, particularly against the run. At this stage, Mickens will first have to earn his way back onto the active roster before meriting fantasy relevance.
