View WR Fantasy Rankings »
Bottom Line

Five years into his NFL career, Valdes-Scantling is what he is: A tertiary option in a passing game and an unreliable fantasy option.

He’s a fine end-of-draft pick in best ball leagues but isn’t worth rostering in most lineup-setting formats.


What We Learned Last Year
  • Valdes-Scantling caught 42 balls for 687 yards and 2 TDs in his Chiefs debut last year.
  • He finished 54th among WRs in PPR points; 53rd in non-PPR.
  • He didn’t rank better than WR20 in PPR points in any week and finished outside the top-36 WRs in 13 of 17 games.
  • Valdes-Scantling’s 81 targets were a career high but ranked just 50th among WRs.
  • His 12.4% target share ranked 98th among WRs.
  • Valdes-Scantling has now played five NFL seasons and has yet to top a 14.1% target share.
  • He’s also yet to finish inside the top 50 WRs in PPR points.

What to Expect in 2023
  • The Chiefs lost 135 targets (20.7% of the total) from last year with the offseason departures of WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman.
  • Kansas City only added veteran Richie James and rookie Rashee Rice to the WR corps. Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore and Justin Watson return from last year’s squad.
  • That gives Valdes-Scantling an opportunity to play a significant role again in 2023. But there’s nothing in his profile to suggest that he’ll earn enough targets to be a reliable fantasy asset.

Travis Kelce, TE KC

7:00pm EDT 9/7/23

Travis Kelce INACTIVE

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (knee) is officially inactive for tonight's opener vs. the Lions. That leaves Noah Gray as Kansas City's top TE. Chiefs WRs -- particularly Skyy Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Kadarius Toney -- have more target potential with Kelce out.

Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will not practice on Tuesday, HC Andy Reid said. “It’s not responding the way he wants it to,” Reid said of Hardman's injury. It doesn't sound like he's a good bet to be ready for Saturday's Divisional Round game vs. the Jaguars. That'd again leave Kansas City with a WR corps of JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and potentially Skyy Moore, who missed Week 18 with a hand injury.

The NFL announced that a neutral-site Bills vs. Chiefs AFC Championship game would be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Yes ... that'd be Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes in a dome to go to the Super Bowl. Bills-Chiefs produced 62 points in the playoffs 2 years ago and 78 points last year -- with both games coming outside at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Score's Jordan Schultz reports that Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) won't play vs. the Broncos on Sunday. "I’m told Toney has made good progress and the Chiefs are hopeful he’ll be good to go next week," Schultz adds. Kansas City will roll with WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore against Denver tomorrow.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes didn't have his sharpest outing in Sunday's win over the Rams. He did throw for 320 yards, hitting 10 different teammates with no Chief collecting more than 57 receiving yards. TE Travis Kelce led in yards and targets (8), claiming the TD among his 4 catches. Rookie WR Skyy Moore led the team with 5 catches (for just 36 yards) among 6 targets. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling was the only other Chief to catch more than 3 balls or crack 40 yards.
