From the article

Dareke Young comes to Las Vegas following Klint Kubiak, and there's a plethora of jobs for him to take on in Las Vegas. The 6'2, 230 receiver has just 72 receiving yards in his career, but he may have a chance to take the 'X' role for Klint Kubiak if he can stay consistent which has a chance to lead to 400-600 yards. Additionally, Young's best impact comes on special teams. He's been a proven gunner with a career 24 tackles and 3 FF including 2 FR, and 4 tackles in the playoffs. Young can provide as a kick returner with 322 yards on 10 attempts in 2025, and he may take that role as well.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Young could take 'X' role (400-600 yards) or kick returner role; proven special teams gunner with 24 tackles, 3 FF.

Young, a 6'2, 230-pound receiver, joins the Raiders following Klint Kubiak and has multiple roles available. He has just 72 receiving yards in his career but may have a chance to take the 'X' receiver role under Kubiak, which could lead to 400-600 receiving yards. His primary impact comes on special teams where he is a proven gunner with 24 career tackles, 3 FF (2 FR), and 4 playoff tackles. Additionally, Young posted 322 yards on 10 kick return attempts in 2025 and may assume that role, potentially becoming a dynamic kick returner for a Raiders unit that has lacked efficiency on returns.
