MVS had a quiet afternoon as he operates in a depth role in the Bills' offense. The 29-year-old will likely remain in a limited role heading into Week 2 and is a safe bet to stary on the fantasy waiver wire for now.
Buffalo Bills WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who is dealing with a neck injury, has a good chance to return for Buffalo's season opener, says head coach Sean McDermott.

McDermott said that he believes Valdes-Scantling is nearing a return from what he's heard from the Bills' trainers, though the coach would not commit to the WR's Week 1 availability. The veteran wideout is dealing with a kneck sprain he suffered in Week 2 of the NFL preseason and is currently considered week-to-week. Valdes-Scantling is expected to have a role in the offense as a deep threat, likely filling some of the role left behind by Gabe Davis, though it may be a more important real-football role than a fantasy-conducive one.
Bills coach Sean McDermott said Marquez Valdes-Scantling is week-to-week with a neck sprain.
Fantasy Impact
Valdes-Scantling came down with a neck sprain last week. He'll have the next few weeks to get fully healthy for the start of the season.
Buffalo Bills WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who left Saturday's game early on a cart with a neck injury, is dealing with a neck sprain. His X-rays came back negative as well.
Fantasy Impact
Overall, this is a fairly positive result given the situation, though the injury is still an unfortunate one. It seems unlikely that he will be available for the Bills' preseason finale, though it's not impossible and his situation should remain monitored to see when he can return. He will serve as one of Buffalo's top deep threats in a remodeled WR corps.
