Falls well short of expectations
Valdes-Scantling finished with 26 catches for 452 yards and two touchdowns over 16 regular-season games in 2019.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling started the season as the inherent No. 2 wide receiver behind Davante Adams, and the team expected big things out of the second-year pro after showing flashes of a deep threat in his rookie campaign. The 25-year-old was still good for a few deep balls, recording 17.4 yards per catch, but he slowly saw his playing time drop as the season went on. He posted just four catches for 32 yards over the final eight regular-season games, and he logged just six offensive snaps between two…read more

Catches one pass in victory
Valdes-Scantling was targeted once and had one reception for eight yards in Sunday's divisional round win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling appeared to sit fourth on the depth chart at the wide receiver position heading into the playoffs, but he operated as the fifth receiver Sunday and took the field for just five offensive plays.

Targeted seven times in Week 17
Valdes-Scantling was targeted seven times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling did not do much in the box score in the season finale, but he did rack up his most receiving yards in a game since Week 7 and was targeted as many times as he was in the previous four games combined. His showing in the regular-season finale slots him into the No. 4 WR spot heading into the postseason.

First reception since Week 12
Valdes-Scantling caught his only target for six yards in Monday's victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling caught his first pass since Week 12, but it went for minimal yardage and he was still on the field for just 11 offensive snaps. As has been the case, he remains only a depth option for the Packers at this time.

Snap count declines again
Valdes-Scantling was targeted once but did not catch a pass in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling played a season-low 10 snaps Week 14 but logged even fewer Week 15, taking the field just five more times after failing to haul in a long pass on the Packers' first offensive play that likely would have resulted in a touchdown. Valdes-Scantling has only two receptions for 11 yards since Week 7, and with him barely seeing the field the last two weeks, there's little reason to expect much of anything from him in the Packers' Week 16 matchup with the Vikings.

Plays season-low 10 snaps
Valdes-Scantling played just 10 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's victory over Washington.
Analysis: The Packers used their tight ends more often than usual and mainly played three wide receivers Sunday, which resulted in Valdes-Scantling seeing the field less than he had in any other game this season. Valdes-Scantling has now totaled just two receptions for 11 yards since Week 7, which all but eliminates him as a fantasy option Week 15, even against a Bears defense that has been regularly beaten by opposing wide receivers of late.

Held without catch again
Valdes-Scantling was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Sunday's victory over the Giants.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling finished a distant fourth among Packers receivers in snaps and was held without a reception for the third time in four games. Simply put, there is little reason to expect any help from him in fantasy lineups these days.

Sliding down depth chart
Valdes-Scantling caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling and quarterback Aaron Rodgers nearly connected on a long touchdown in the fourth quarter, but the wide receiver caught the ball out of bounds and ultimately finished Sunday's contest with just one reception. Injuries may have helped explain Valdes-Scantling going two straight games without a catch heading into the Packers' Week 11 bye, but it now seems he simply has fallen down the depth chart, as he finished a distant fourth in snaps among Packers wideouts coming out of the…read more

Shut out for second straight week
Valdes-Scantling was targeted once and did not catch a pass in Sunday's victory over the Panthers.
Analysis: It's not clear just how limited Valdes-Scantling has been by his ankle and knee injuries the last few weeks, but he only played 11 snaps Sunday. Since his big showing in Week 7, he has caught just one pass and has been shut out completely each of the last two weeks. A Week 11 bye will buy Valdes-Scantling some recovery time before the Packers' next game, but coming off back-to-back goose eggs, he's going to be tough to trust in Week 12 against a stingy 49ers defense.

Cleared for Week 10
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After kicking off the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions, Valdes-Scantling capped it off with a full showing. While his Week 10 opponent (the Panthers) have allowed wide receivers to post just 7.1 yards per target this season, the unit has otherwise yielded 180 receiving yards per game to the position, making Valdes-Scantling a decent enough play Sunday.

Gets 'limited' tag Thursday
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Since going off for a season-best 133 receiving yards Week 7, Valdes-Scantling has hauled in just one of four targets for four yards over the last two games. He's been tending to ankle and knee injuries during that span, so there is a built-in excuse for his lack of production. No matter, Davante Adams (toe) is back in action, which should begin to free up Valdes-Scantling for deep shots once he gets healthier.

Practice reps capped Wednesday
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: In Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Valdes-Scantling failed to record a reception for the first time since Week 3 of the 2018 season. Granted, Davante Adams (toe) was back in action, and the Packers mustered just 184 yards of offense, but the output was disappointing, to say the least. Before Valdes-Scantling gets another chance to make an impression on the box score, he'll look to put in a full practice before the end of the week.

Held without catch in Week 9
Valdes-Scantling was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling had his best game of the season in the Packers' Week 7 win over the Raiders, but he has been almost invisible since, tallying just one reception for four yards over two games. Despite the nearly non-existent output, Valdes-Scantling still played the second-most snaps among Packers receivers Sunday, and he has started all but one game this season, so there is reason to believe he can get back on track. He and the rest of the Packers' passing game will be challenged again in Week…read more

Enters Week 9 minus designation
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: After a pair of limited showings in practice to begin the week, Valdes-Scantling erased any concerns about his health by taking every rep in Friday's session. The 25-year-old should again have a role in the Packers' passing game in Week 9, but his snap and target counts could hinge on the potential return of top wideout Davante Adams (toe), who is being viewed as a game-time decision. Even while Adams has been out for the past four games, Valdes-Scantling has been a spotty contributor, catching…read more

Another limited practice
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling's practice time in Week 8 was limited on account of the same two injuries, but neither prevented him from suiting up in the Packers' eventual win over the Chiefs. He finished with a season-low four receiving yards in that contest, and may not be in store for much of a bounce back in Week 9 against the Chargers, assuming he once again gains clearance to play. The Packers could get Davante Adams (toe) back from a four-game absence this weekend, leaving fewer targets to go around…read more

Limited in practice
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling has been hit or miss this season, even with Davante Adams (toe) out of commission the past four games. During that span, most of Valdes-Scantling's production came on two long receptions against the Raiders in Week 7. Adams returned to practice Wednesday, so Packers opponents may soon have to contend with the team's top wide receiver, freeing up the downfield threat that is Valdes-Scantling.

Takes back seat to running backs
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) suited up and caught one pass (two targets) for four yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was cleared of his lower-body injuries prior to Sunday's matchup, so his lack of usage can be attributed to coach Matt LaFleur's gameplan to exploit Kansas City's linebackers with passes to running backs. The 25-year-old was coming off of a huge 133-yard performance, so Sunday's dud will leave a sour taste in fantasy owners' mouths. Valdes-Scantling was expected to take over top receiving duties while Davante Adams (toe) remains sidelined, but the wideout is averaging just 1.5…read more

Cleared to play
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling upgraded to full practice participation Friday, while Davante Adams (toe) was a non-participant and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. Valdes-Scantling should be ready to get back to his usual workload, after catching two of three targets for 133 yards and a touchdown on just 33 percent of the offensive snaps last week against the Raiders. He played at least two-thirds of those plays in each of the Packers' first six games.

Downgrades to limited Thursday
Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Despite logging no practice reps last week, Valdes-Scantling still suited up this past Sunday against the Raiders, ripping off two catches (on three targets) for 133 yards and one touchdown while playing 33 percent of the offensive snaps. He was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough before taking a step back Thursday, so his status will be one to monitor as the weekend approaches.

Burns Raiders in win
Valdes-Scantling caught two of three targets for 133 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-24 win over Oakland.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling managed to draw just three targets even with Davante Adams (toe) out and Geronimo Allison (chest) injured. It's hard to imagine how he could have done much more with his opportunities, however. His first haul was a 59-yard shot downfield to open the second half and set up an Aaron Rodgers touchdown run. He did it all himself midway through the fourth quarter, taking a quick out-cut the distance for a 74-yard score. The statuesque sophomore came into Sunday with an impressive…read more

Analysis: Less than a week removed from playing through multiple injuries versus the Lions, Valdes-Scantling will be available to the Packers offense, despite logging no practice reps. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, Valdes-Scantling was seen with his left ankle wrapped and an electronic stimulation machine on his left knee Friday.

Looking like game-time call
The Packers are optimistic that at least one of Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) and Geronimo Allison (concussion/chest) will be active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, but the team will evaluate both in pre-game warmups before deciding on the status of either receiver, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Though both receivers are listed as questionable, Valdes-Scantling may have the better chance at playing after Allison was only upgraded from doubtful Saturday. If Valdes-Scantling does end up suiting up, his effectiveness could be limited by the injury to some degree, but even a compromised version of himself may be enough to lead the Packers' receiving corps minus top target Davante Adams (toe) in Week 7.

Listed as questionable for Week 7
Valdes-Scantling (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Davante Adams (toe) is ruled out and Geronimo Allison (chest/concussion) is listed as doubtful. Valdes-Scantling is left as the team's only starting wide receiver with a decent shot to play, but he acknowledged earlier Friday that he still needs more medical treatment before Sunday's 1 p.m. EDT kickoff. He's shaping up as a true game-time decision after missing practice each day this week.

Analysis: Valdes-Scantling noted that he's hopeful additional treatment will allow him to gain clearance for Sunday's game. The receiver's own assessment supports recent comments from coach Matt LaFleur, who ruled out Davante Adams (toe) but noted that the Packers still have two more days to evaluate Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison (chest/concussion).

Analysis: Since he was selected in the fifth round of the 2018 draft, Valdes-Scantling has been active in all 21 possible games. The fact he fit in some reps is a good sign that he'll be available again Monday versus the Lions. Assuming he avoids the Packers' list of inactives, Valdes-Scantling is expected to serve as the team's No. 1 wide receiver with Davante Adams (toe) trending toward another absence.

Fails to make impact in win
Valdes-Scantling caught one of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The Packers' passing game didn't have much to do with Aaron Jones dominating the offense, but MVS still failed to do much with the volume he did get. He's now had two poor performances in a row since Davante Adams (toe) was injured, and Valdes-Scantling may not have earned enough trust from Aaron Rodgers yet to simply step into the team's No. 1 receiving role.

Unfortunate role in loss
Valdes-Scantling secured three of seven targets for 47 yards in the Packers' 34-27 loss to the Eagles on Thursday.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling had a modest stat line overall, and he was the intended target on Aaron Rodgers' ill-fated final pass of the night. The second-year receiver saw the Eagles' Craig James get his hand on the ball and tip it, sending it into the arms of Nigel Bradham for a game-clinching interception.

Rodgers cranked one deep into the waiting arms of Valdes-Scantling for a 40-yard score.

While Valdes-Scantling had a quiet day and fellow receiver Geronimo Allison scored a touchdown, the snap counts from Sunday signal that Valdes-Scantling is clearly the Packers' No. 2 option at the wide receiver position: he was on the field for 65 of the 75 offensive plays the Packers ran Week 2, while Allison was on the field for 34…read more

Valdes-Scantling brought in four of six targets for 52 yards and rushed once for no gain in the Packers' 10-3 win over the Bears on Thursday.

The 2018 fifth-round pick is expected to take a significant leap forward in Year 2, with both his talent and the opportunity to serve as a starting receiver in an Aaron Rodgers-helmed offense expected to key his improvement.

One of his four catches was a 47-yard deep ball from Aaron Rodgers, by far the longest offensive play of the night in a game where both offenses have struggled. Valdes-Scantling will aim to get hydrated and return for the conclusion of the fourth quarter.

Starts second preseason game
Valdes-Scantling did not catch a pass in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens, but he was in the starting lineup when the game began, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

Drawing praise from Rodgers
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Valdes-Scantling had a good spring and believes the second-year receiver has what it takes to be an every-down player in 2019, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: That's high praise from one of the league's best passers, not to mention great news for a young receiver on a depth chart that's unsettled beyond top dog Davante Adams. While Valdes-Scantling will need to continue his impressive play when the pads come on during training camp, he nonetheless appears to have taken advantage of his first full offseason program as a professional and undoubtedly benefits from the fact Green Bay didn't sign or draft another noteworthy wideout. As it stands, his…read more

Leads team in receiving in finale
Valdes-Scantling caught three passes for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling led the Packers in receiving Week 17, albeit with fellow wideouts Davante Adams (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) inactive. Valdes-Scantling finished third on the Packers with 581 receiving yards and tied for third with 38 receptions in his rookie season, better numbers than are typically expected from a fifth-round draft pick. He had an up-and-down campaign, but he also showed some upside and brings a nice size/speed combination to the table. Valdes-Scantling will…read more

Finally tops 20 yards again
Valdes-Scantling caught five of nine targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 44-38 overtime win over the Jets.
Analysis: Quarterback Aaron Rodgers tied his season high with 442 passing yards, and he was able to get Valdes-Scantling involved in the offense following an extended cold spell. The 24-year-old wide receiver preceded this effort with five consecutive games featuring fewer than 20 receiving yards in each, so we'd still exercise caution before plugging him in when the Lions come to town in Week 17.

Continues playing bit role
Valdes-Scantling caught one pass for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling remained a non-factor for both the Packers and fantasy players, finishing with fewer than 50 yards from scrimmage for the sixth week in a row. He had a shot at a far bigger day, but was overthrown by quarterback Aaron Rodgers after beating his defender deep early in the fourth quarter. There's a chance he could get more involved the next two weeks with the Packers eliminated from playoff contention, but that seems a bit of a long shot at this point, given his production and the…read more

Playing time decreases
Valdes-Scantling caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's victory over the Falcons.
Analysis: It was another quiet day on the scoresheet for Valdes-Scantling, who has totaled just 93 receiving yards over five games since topping the century mark in Week 9. Not helping his case was a notable drop in playing time, as he was on the field for just 46 percent of the Packers' plays, by far his lowest mark since Week 3. Valdes-Scantling had fantasy utility for a while earlier this season, but his value has steadily declined, and those still setting lineups in Week 15 have little reason not to…read more

More rushing than receiving yards
Valdes-Scantling caught two passes for 19 yards and had two carries for 29 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: The rushing yardage boosted Valdes-Scantling's overall production, but he still finished with fewer than 20 receiving yards for the third straight week. Changes could be coming in the Packers' offense in the wake of the firing of head coach Mike McCarthy, but Valdes-Scantling's recent output, coupled with the return of fellow receiver Randall Cobb, makes him tough to trust in Week 14.

Non-factor in Week 12
Valdes-Scantling caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: After recording seven receptions of 20-plus yards and three gains of more than 40 yards during a five-game stretch, Valdes-Scantling has fallen off the radar the last three weeks. Despite injuries to Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (groin) continuing to open up a prominent role in the offense, the rookie has only hauled in eight of 12 targets for 55 yards over the past three weeks, including just one reception apiece in the most recent two contests. Valdes-Scantling could be at…read more

Disappoints in Week 11 loss
Valdes-Scantling brought in one of three targets for eight yards in the Packers' 27-24 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.
Analysis: Considering Randall Cobb missed the contest with a hamstring injury, MVS' final line was considerably disappointing. That includes the target share, which ranked ahead of only Robert Tonyan, Lance Kendricks and Jimmy Graham, the latter which exited the game for good in the first half. Valdes-Scantling had been emerging in the offense over the prior five contests, so Thursday's downturn could simply be a one-game outlier. He'll look to bounce back in a key divisional battle versus the Vikings in…read more

Makes six catches
Valdes-Scantling caught six of seven targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 21-12 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling led the team in receptions while finishing tied with Davante Adams for the most targets. His long gain went for just 11 yards, however, and he finished with an underwhelming average of 7.3 yards per catch. Only three other targets went to wide receivers on the day as Randall Cobb was sidelined, so Valdes-Scantling unfortunately didn't do more with his featured role. Fantasy players still have plenty to like about a wideout who has the attention of Aaron Rodgers each week, and…read more

Opportunities could increase with Allison out
Valdes-Scantling should continue to maintain a prominent role within the Green Bay offense with Geronimo Allison expected to miss several weeks following surgery to address a core-muscle injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Allison's recovery from the procedure is estimated at six weeks, making the wideout a candidate for injured reserve. Even if Allison's surgery doesn't prove to be a season-ending one, Valdes-Scantling looks like a good bet to maintain a regular role in three-receiver sets the rest of the way in light of his stellar outings the last few games. While either one or both of Allison or Randall Cobb has been sidelined for four of the past five contests,…read more

Flashes big-play ability
Valdes-Scantling caught three passes (six targets) for 101 yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling got the start with Geronimo Allison (hamstring/groin) sidelined, parlaying the opportunity into his second 100-yard game over the last three weeks. Randall Cobb was able to return from injury (six targets), and his presence could cut into Valdes-Scantling's recent run of production. That said, the 2018 fifth-round pick is clearly ahead of fellow rookie Equanimeous St. Brown on the depth chart, and he is making a strong case to stick ahead of both Cobb and Allison even after the…read more

Getting spot start Week 9
Valdes-Scantling will start for the inactive Geronimo Allison (hamstring/groin) during Sunday's game in New England, the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Injuries to Randall Cobb and Allison have allowed Valdes-Scantling to burst onto the scene over the last four games. During that stretch, Valdes-Scantling has hauled in 13 of 25 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie's big-play ability has been on display as well, with four receptions of 20-plus yards and two of 40 or more yards en route to 19.5 YPC. On Sunday, Valdes-Scantling will be working in three-wide receiver sets with Davante Adams and Cobb against a Patriots defense that…read more

Primed for key role again
Valdes-Scantling could see regular snaps in three-receiver sets in Sunday's game against the Patriots with teammate Geronimo Allison (hamstring/groin) listed as doubtful, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling maintained a surprisingly large role when Allison and Randall Cobb returned from hamstring injuries in last week's 29-27 loss to the Rams, catching two of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown while ranking second among the Green Bay wideouts in snap share (60 percent). Assuming Allison isn't able to play, the Packers will likely roll with Davante Adams, Cobb and Valdes-Scantling as the primary receiver alignment, with rookie Equanimeous St. Brown also in the mix for snaps.…read more

Outpaces Allison, Cobb in snaps
Valdes-Scantling was on the field for 30 of the Packers' 52 offensive snaps (60 percent) in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Rams. That snap count outpaced starting wideouts Geronimo Allison (30) and Randall Cobb (24).
Analysis: There had been some thought that Valdes-Scantling's usage would decline considerably in Week 8 with Allison and Cobb returning from multi-game absences due to injury, but coach Mike McCarthy essentially opted for a four-man rotation at receiver that also included No. 1 target Davante Adams (40 snaps). While it's possible that Allison and Cobb were deliberately restricted to some degree coming off injury, Valdes-Scantling certainly proved worthy of maintaining a regular role on offense, as he…read more
