Marquez Valdes-Scantling News
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling stepped up on Sunday with numerous injuries to other receivers on the team, catching six passes for 116 yards and a touchdown while sharing the team lead in targets with eight. The yardage total was his highest as a Chief. If the Chiefs can get healthy by the Super Bowl, MVS will likely see a reduction in his production, but there's the possibility that he'll be forced into a larger role again.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling found the end zone in last week's Divisional Round, but it was his only reception of the contest on just two targets. With Mecole Hardman (pelvis) and Justin Watson (illness) both listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, Valdes-Scantling could see an uptick in opportunities if the two wideouts are ruled out. Although Hardman has been sidelined since Week 9, Watson has been playing on a surprising amount of Kansas City's offensive snaps. Still, Valdes-Scantling has not posted more than 28 receiving yards in a game since Week 13 and projects as an uninspiring DFS option this week.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling contributed a six-yard touchdown reception during Sunday's Divisional Round victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old was targeted twice in the entire contest. After four years with the Packers, Valdes-Scantling took his talents to the Chiefs and had an impactful role in the post-Tyreek Hill era. He posted a career-high 42 receptions on 81 targets, all while adding 687 yards and two touchdowns. Valdes-Scantling should be viewed as a low-cost DFS play ahead of the AFC Championship.

Last year was not one to call home about for new Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Not only did he post career-low marks in all receiving categories except touchdowns (55 targets, 26 receptions, 430 yards, three TDs), but he also missed six games entirely in what turned out to be his last year playing in the Frozen Tundra under the passing arm of future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. That last point should worry MVS that much, though, given his next stop in the NFL. With...
