Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is active for the Saints in Week 17 against the Raiders.

The Saints declared QB Derek Carr, RB Alvin Kamara, DT Khristian Boyd, RB Jordan Mims, LB Anfernee Orji, DT John Ridgeway III, and WR Mason Tipton inactive for the game. None of these absences come as huge surprises, as Carr and Kamara were declared out earlier in the week. Valdes-Scantling will play through his chest injury and should serve as the de facto number one receiver against the Raiders; although, it’s hard to trust a receiver in this offense.
