Marquez Valdes-Scantling

When we heard that he was dealing with an Achilles injury mid-week, it seemed like he wouldn't play last week. He wasn't targeted at all, so clearly, he's playing through something. The Eagles have allowed just seven wide receivers to hit 11.2-plus PPR points against them this year, which is the lowest in the NFL. Why choose that specific point mark, Mike? Well, because that's the average number of points it took to finish as a top-36 wide receiver in 2019. If you were to look at the last seven teams the Eagles have played and add up their WR1, WR2, WR3, and TE1 yardage, none of the teams have surpassed 206 yards. When you have Davante Adams soaking up most of the production, that's problematic. Add in the injury Valdes-Scantling is dealing with and you have a fade.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achillies) active for Week 12, will play on SNF

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achillies) is active for Week 12 against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night.

Fantasy Impact

Valdes-Scantling is good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup versus the Chicago Bears. He'll compete for targets with WR Allen Lazard back in the lineup, but he should get a few downfield looks against a stingy Bears secondary. MVS is a low-end flex for fantasy managers looking for a late-game replacement for the slew of COVID absences this week.
