Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Marques Valdes-Scantling caught 2-of-4 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in the Saints’ Week 11 win against the Browns.

Valdes-Scantling had another long score against Cleveland after going off last week for 109 yards and two touchdowns. MVS caught an underneath pass and took it the distance (71 yards) against a seemingly uninterested Browns secondary. Running a pass route on 26 of the team’s 29 drop backs, MVS operated as the Saints WR1 with Chris Olave (concussion) sidelined. While Valdes-Scantling is unlikely to keep scoring long touchdowns in the conservative New Orleans offense, he should be rostered in most 12-team leagues and will profile as top-40 option in Week 12 against the Rams.
