• Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: Slight uptick in '24

  01/23/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jarrett secured nine of 11 targets for 124 yards and recorded 141 kickoff-return yards over 10 regular-season games in 2024. Jarrett managed to slightly improve on his 4-60 line over 10 games as a rookie in 2023, and he added kickoff returns to his resume by recording stats in that category over four contests down the stretch. The speedy Maryland product's best performance came in Week 8 against the Falcons, when he posted a 3-58 line in the game immediately following Chris Godwin's season-ending ankle injury. Jarrett will look to once again make a case for a reserve receiver role during the upcoming offseason and training camp as he approaches the final season of a three-year, $2.7 million contract in 2025.

• Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: No targets on seven snaps

  01/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jarrett did not log a target over seven snaps on offense during the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished the 2024 regular season with nine receptions for 124 yards on 11 targets and 141 kickoff-return yards in 10 games. The speedy wideout had little opportunity for action with Sterling Shepard making his return from a one-game absence prompted by hamstring and foot injuries. Jarrett saw one fewer snap than fellow reserves Ryan Miller and Trey Palmer, and all three players are likely to primarily be limited to special-teams duties during the Buccaneers' upcoming postseason run.

• Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: Makes reception in Week 17 win

  12/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jarrett secured his only target for 11 yards and returned one kickoff for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Jarrett had posted one catch for six yards on his sole target in the Week 16 loss to the Cowboys while adding 69 kickoff-return yards, and although he wasn't as successful in the latter capacity Sunday, he did see more action on offense. Jarrett's 25 snaps (32 percent) actually outpaced Trey Palmer by two plays and represented the former's most significant participation rate from scrimmage since Week 10. If Sterling Shepard (hamstring/foot) remains sidelined for a Week 18 home matchup against the Saints, Jarrett could be similarly involved versus New Orleans.

• Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: Blanked in Week 15 win

  12/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jarrett did not draw a target over seven snaps in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday. After logging between one and four targets in four straight games between Weeks 8 and 12, Jarrett hasn't had a pass thrown his way in three consecutive contests. Additionally, unlike the first two instances in which he was blanked on offense, Jarrett didn't see any returne work either Sunday, making it a washout of a day from a fantasy perspective. Jarrett's exact positioning on the depth chart is hard to determine on a game-by-game basis, but it is accurate to say he's no better than a co-No. 4 receiver alongside Trey Palmer at the moment.

• Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: Solid showing on three catches

  10/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jarrett brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Jarrett was making his season debut after overcoming a preseason knee injury, and he finished with the Buccaneers' second-highest yardage total despite playing just 20 snaps (27 percent). The Maryland product could continue carving out a steady role over the next two games considering Mike Evans (hamstring) isn't expected back until after the Week 11 bye, and at least Sunday, Jarrett was more productive than all of Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard and Ryan Miller, the receivers in front of him on the depth chart.
