Marquez Valdes-Scantling

In his last two games, Valdes-Scantling has finished as the WR2 and WR22 in weekly fantasy scoring. I know what you're thinking..."There's no way that he can keep this up." Well, you're probably right, but there's a path for Valdes-Scantling to continue to thread the needle this week. Since Week 10, he has had a 68.4% route share, a 13% target share, a 46.6% air-yard share (26.4 aDOT), 5.03 YPRR, and an 18.4% first-read share. 57.1% of his target volume has been via deep targets. Since Week 7, the Rams have allowed the 11th-most receiving yards per game and third-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. The Rams have also had issues with defending deep passing all season. They have allowed the 12th-most deep passing yards per game and the fourth-highest deep-adjusted completion rate.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught two passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Valdes-Scantling caught another touchdown on Sunday, which his extends his scoring streak to three-straight games. He plays the downfield role for the Saints, and he seems to be developing a nice connection with Derek Carr. He'll lack a large workload moving forward but will have big-play upside on a week-to-week basis.
