Marquez Valdes-Scantling Tries to Fool You Again

Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling scored for the second straight week in Sunday's win over the Browns. He did so from 71 yards out on a short pass early in the second quarter. MVS caught just one other pass among four total targets.

MVS looks likely to wind up among the top 24 PPR wideouts for the second straight week. But he has done so on just 7 targets and 5 catches.

That's clearly not the kind of volume you want to bet on with your lineup spots in most fantasy formats.

He did, at least, lead all Saints by running 26 pass routes Sunday, among 30 Defek Carr dropbacks (86.7%). That keeps Valdes-Scantling in the mix for deep leagues.

Week 12 holds a bye, with a home date against the Rams the following week.
