Claimed off waivers by Cleveland
Cleveland claimed Darden off waivers from Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Darden was waived by Tampa Bay following Monday's win over the Saints, but he quickly found a new home in Cleveland. The second-year wideout appeared in the Buccaneers' first 12 games this year and caught both of his targets for 26 yards across just 53 offensive snaps, though he did make some solid contributions as a return man.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
A speedster from North Texas, Darden appears headed for a potentially prominent role on returns during his rookie season. The 2021 fourth-round pick improved in each of his college campaigns, eclipsing 70 receptions in both of his last two seasons and capping off his senior year with 1,190 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns. Darden likely has too many hurdles to earn significant playing time this season, but his prior experience on both punt and kick returns should net him opportunities as he makes the leap from Conference USA to the NFL.
