Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Volatile Week 18 Option

11 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has endured a disastrous campaign in 2023, with his 21 receptions on 42 targets for 315 yards and one touchdown all signifying career-low outputs. After his snap rate was rightfully beginning to dip during the middle portion of the season, Valdes-Scantling has risen back up to 81.3% and 73.1% clips in each of his past two outings respectively. That status may actually put the 29-year-old field stretcher at risk of getting veteran's rest during Week 18's regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers with the AFC's No. 3 postseason spot set in stone for the Chiefs. Valdes-Scantling couldn't find a rhythm with big-armed superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes at any point this season, rendering it somewhat unlikely things suddenly click with backup signal-caller Blaine Gabbert in the Week 18 saddle. MVS is a Hail-Mary DFS choice.
