Jaydon Mickens, Justin Watson On The Bubble
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Jaydon Mickens and Justin Watson have seen their stock fall this offseason. Mickens was the primary returner on punts and kickoffs in 2020, but his future is uncertain after the team drafted rookie Jaelon Darden as a potential replacement. And Mickens didn't exactly stand out in return duties last year. He'll need to show more offensive value in order to avoid being a roster casualty in training camp. Watson is also firmly on the roster bubble in a deep receiving room. Nearly all of his value in 2020 also came on special teams with the coverage units. Watson was inactive for three of four playoff games, and his offensive role vanished with Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson emerging. The 25-year-old had zero targets after Week 4.
