Marquez Valdes-Scantling Week 3 Outlook -

He ranks 12th in the NFL in air yards, so we can't simply give up on him after a down game. Similar to Lazard, Valdes-Scantling had back-to-back bad plays in Week 2, including a drop in the end zone. He's playing on the perimeter 80 percent of the time, which means he'll see a lot of Marshon Lattimore or Janoris Jenkins in coverage. Teams have chosen not to target those cornerbacks much, as the Saints have faced just 29 wide receiver targets, which is the fourth-lowest mark in the league. Rodgers appears willing to target Valdes-Scantling in one-on-one coverage down the field, so we could see a few deep shots that may pay off, but you shouldn't bet on it against this secondary. He's a risk/reward WR5 who would get a solid bump if Adams sits.
