GB WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Detroit Lions
Marquez Valdes-Scantling didn't exactly prosper working as the No. 1 receiver last week, catching just one pass for 18 yards on four targets with Davante Adams out. Adams will be out again this week and MVS is dealing with injury issues of his own. He also should draft a lot of attention in this game, as well, and he just might not be ready for shadow coverage. Check his status Friday before putting him in the lineup as a WR3.

GB WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Dallas Cowboys
With Davante Adams likely out, Marquez Valdes-Scantling assumes the role of No. 1 receiver for the Packers. Typically, that's great news. But against Dallas' pass defense, the extra attention might be unwanted. MVS had three catches for 47 yards last week on seven targets and should get a similar amount of targets in this game. That makes him a WR3 considering the matchup. He figures to see a lot of Byron Jones in this game and he might not be ready for that kind of matchup.

GB WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Marquez Valdes-Scantling got a team-high 10 targets last week, catching six passes for 99 yards and a score. That's the kind of solid production he can provide as the No. 2 receiver in the Packers offense. The Eagles' secondary is vulnerable and the Packers could get their passing game going a little bit in this one. Valdes-Scantling is a nice WR3 option this week.

GB WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Denver Broncos
Marquez Valdes-Scantling got the same six targets he received in Week 1. That was the good news last week. The bad? He managed just three receptions 19 yards as the Packers got out to an early lead and cruised. The Broncos' pass defense has been pretty tough thus far, but part of that has been who they have faced, as well. With at least six targets each week, and maybe more, Valdes-Scantling is a solid start as at least a flex each week.

GB WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Marquez Valdes-Scantling got six targets last week, turning them into four receptions for 52 yards. It was a decent start for the second-year receiver against a tough Bears defense. He isn't likely to draw any double coverage in this game as the Vikings will focus their efforts on stopping Davante Adams. He had two receptions for six yards in two games against the Vikings last season, but should easily top that. Even so, MVS isn't anything more than a flex option this week.

GB WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Chicago
Marquez Valdes-Scantling figures to be on the field 90% of the time after being more of a part-time player as a rookie in 2018. But that might not necessarily mean he contributes greatly in this one. Valdes-Scantling will be more of the downfield threat, and the Packers might not want to test the Bears' pass rush by trying to push the ball down the field to him. Valdes-Scantling should probably only be used this week as a flex play. Better days are ahead.

GB WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Marquez Valdes-Scantling enters 2019 as the starter at receiver opposite Davante Adams, who should demand a lot of coverage. He also has Aaron Rodgers as his QB, which is never a bad thing. MVS has talent. He showed that at times in 2018. Now in year two, he should be ready to produce even more.

Fantasy Downside
In a similar situation last season -- he made 10 starts -- Valdes-Scantling caught just 38 of 73 targets. You have to be better than 50% with Rodgers throwing you the ball. Any such stumble this season could lead to a benching, as the Packers have a bevy of young receivers.

2019 Bottom Line
Valdes-Scantling's rookie season wasn't a waste. After all, he caught 38 passes for 581 yards and two scores. That 15.1 yards per catch average was solid. He just should have caught more given his targets. Look for the targets and catches to both increase in 2019. MVS has a current ADP between Rounds 11 and 13 right now. That seems about right. But with a little good fortune, he could out-produce that draft position.
