The Seahawks signed WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a one-year deal worth "up to" $5.5 million. He joins a WR corps that shed both D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett over the last week, giving Valdes-Scantling a shot to earn significant snaps.
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He’s the best bet for targets among New Orleans WRs with Chris Olave (concussion) still out. But Valdes-Scantling would be a desperation fantasy play with QB Spencer Rattler at the helm.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He was a full participant in practice all week, but it’s still unclear if he’s ready for game action. We’ll look for further updates on Olave’s status and get New Orleans’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) is also listed as questionable after a limited week of practice.
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest, illness) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Packers. That leaves New Orleans with WRs Kevin Austin, Cedrick Wilson, Dante Pettis, and Mason Tipton. Hopefully you're not messing with the situation in fantasy lineups.
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is questionable for Monday night's game against the Packers. He missed all three days of practice. New Orleans initially listed MVS with a chest injury but added illness Friday. We'll see about his status Monday, but Valdes-Scantling is probably not worth waiting for in your lineup.
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught just two passes in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. But he did so on a team-high 7 targets. MVS hit halftime with 0 catches on 3 targets but then logged 2 receptions among 4 targets for 64 yards in the second half, after New Orleans switched from QB Jake Haener to Spencer Rattler.
Saints interim HC Darren Rizzi informed the team today that QB Jake Haener will start this weekend's game vs. the Commanders, according to insider Nick Underhill. It'll be Haener's first career start. The 2023 fourth-round pick has completed just 49% of his 29 passes in mop-up duty across four different games this season. Try to avoid Haener and the entire Saints passing game in fantasy lineups this week. New Orleans is implied for only 18 points.
Saints TE Taysom Hill suffered a torn ACL and "additional damage" to his left knee in the Week 13 loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That ends Hill's 2024 season and might challenge his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. Hill will turn 35 in August. He's signed with the Saints through 2025.
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling scored for the second straight week in Sunday's win over the Browns. He did so from 71 yards out on a short pass early in the second quarter. MVS caught just one other pass among four total targets.
Saints WR Mason Tipton is a healthy scratch for today’s game vs. the Browns. He ran a route on 83% of Saints pass plays and totaled 14 targets over the past four weeks. New Orleans will roll with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Cedrick Wilson, Kevin Austin, and Dante Pettis today. What a group!
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling scored a pair of TDs in Sunday's win over the Falcons. He hauled in a 40-yard score on a 3rd-and-5 early in the second quarter and then added a 2-yard TD grab later in the second. MVS totaled 3 receptions for 109 yards on 3 targets.
Bills WR Keon Coleman did not play in the first quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Jaguars. HC Sean McDermott said afterward that "it was an issue with being on time."
The Chiefs released WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling. It was a no-brainer move, saving the team $12 million against the 2024 salary cap. MVS was a major bust in Kansas City, totaling just 1,002 receiving yards and three TDs across 33 regular-season games over the past two seasons. We'll see where the 29-year-old lands next, but he's a long shot for reliable fantasy value. Valdes-Scantling can be ignored in early best-ball drafts.
Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling has a year left on his contract, but that doesn't mean he's a lock to stay in K.C. this season. The Chiefs have decisions to make on extensions with other players, including DT Chris Jones and CB L'Jarius Sneed. If they need more cap space, MVS looks like a prime candidate to help. He's set to count nearly $14 million against the 2024 cap, whereas cutting the vet would leave just a $2 million dead-cap hit. Valdes-Scantling averaged a career-low 1.3 receptions per game in 2023, his second with the Chiefs. He also set a career low with 15.0 yards per catch and has scored just three TDs across two seasons. Frankly, we'll be a little surprised if Kansas City doesn't at least look to restructure MVS this offseason. You shouldn't be looking his way in best ball drafts right now anyway, so there's low potential fantasy impact to this situation.
Chiefs WR Skyy Moore (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. WR Kadarius Toney was not listed on the injury report. So it looks like both guys will be available for Sunday's Super Bowl, although it remains unclear if either or both will be active. Neither guy has played since mid-December. Rashee Rice, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Justin Watson will likely to continue operating as Kansas City's top three WRs regardless.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship vs. the Ravens. He went from a full practice on Wednesday to limited practices on Thursday and Friday. WR Skyy Moore (knee) has been ruled out. Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Mecole Hardman have been Kansas City's top four WRs in terms of pass routes in each of the Chiefs' two playoff games so far.
Chiefs WRs Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (hip, ankle) are out for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. Rice would presumably be playing if this game meant anything, but we'll track his status during next week's prep for the Wild Card Round. Kansas City will have WRs Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Richie James, Mecole Hardman, and Justyn Ross available on Sunday.
