Marquez Valdes-Scantling Week 2 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2020, 9:15am EDT

Over the final 12 games of 2019, there was just one where Valdes-Scantling saw more than four targets. He saw six of them in Week 1 and turned them into 17.6 half-PPR points, which netted the No. 11 wide receiver performance. Maybe Aaron Rodgers calling him an MVP during training camp wasn't hyperbole. Still, Valdes-Scantling played 42 snaps compared to 68 for Lazard and 70 for Adams, so he's not quite a full-time player right now. That has to give us a little concern, though it doesn't mean he can't produce in matchups the Packers throw the ball enough. It certainly helps that the Lions faced 370 targets to wide receivers last year, which amounts to 23.1 per game, enough to be the second-most in football. The Bears receivers saw 22 targets last week and turned them into 14/201/2. If you're looking for a waiver wire add to potentially start, you could do worse than Valdes-Scantling against this weak secondary. Still, he's in WR5 territory.
