Fantasy Football Player Notes

With injuries abound last season, Valdes-Scantling had his opportunities, but couldn't take advantage. Despite playing in all 16 games, he caught just 26 passes and scored two touchdowns. He fell behind Allen Lazard on the depth chart, and with the addition of Devin Funchess, it appeared that Valdes-Scantling wasn't likely to see the field all that much absent an injury. But now, with Funchess opting out, there's at least a plausible, albeit unlikely, path to fantasy-relevance. He's a late-round dart throw, but that's all.

Williams offered some occasional standalone value last year, but he was mostly just a slight thorn in Aaron Jones's side and a high-end handcuff. The Packers used a second-round pick on AJ Dillon, and so even were Jones to get injured, Williams would likely have to compete for touches. He'll still factor into the gameplan, but for fantasy purposes, he's unlikely to see significant value under any circumstances this year.
