Russell Gage 2022 Outlook
After their initial focus on retaining their own free agents, the Buccaneers made their first move on an outside player by adding at wideout. Gage spent the last four seasons with the Falcons, so the Bucs are well-acquainted with him. He joins a Tampa Bay offense that needs an experienced upgrade at the No. 3 wide receiver spot behind Pro Bowlers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Can Gage fill the Antonio Brown-sized hole in this receiving corps? In 61 career games (21 starts), Gage has 193 receptions for 2065 yards and nine touchdowns. He had 72 catches for 786 yards with four touchdowns in 2020. He then put up 66 receptions for 770 yards with four TDs in 14 games in 2021 when he was forced into the lead role after Calvin Ridley left the team. While he'll never be mistaken for an alpha receiver, he obviously won't have to be that in Tampa, and playing in an offense with Tom Brady back at the helm has to be a plus. Also worth noting: It's not a reach -- in fact, it seems likely -- that Gage will open the 2022 season as the No. 2 receiver alongside Evans with Godwin recovering from an ACL tear.

Russell Gage 2021 Outlook
As SportsTalkATL.com suggested, with Julio Jones traded to the Titans the first week of June, Gage immediately moves up the depth chart as the team's second receiver behind Calvin Ridley. Each scenario -- with and without Julio -- resulted in wildly different anticipated outcomes for the former LSU standout in Arthur Smith's offense. If Jones had remained, Smith's tendency to lean more heavily on 2-TE, 2-WR sets would have limited Gage much more than Dirk Koetter's offense, which made heavier use of 3-WR sets (the addition of superstar rookie TE Kyle Pitts wouldn't have helped in that regard). So what should we expect now? Looking back to last season, as a result of Koetter's preference, Gage set career highs in every major receiving statistic, but Jones' injury-related absences down the stretch last season added to that. In fact, Gage closed out the 2020 season with at least 50 receiving yards in five of his last seven games (a big reason he surpassed 100 total targets for the first time in his career). If nothing else, after seeing a career-high 762 snaps last season, Gage will be an every-down player in 2021 and that clear path to workload could make him a value for fantasy managers.
