  • Limited in return to practice

    Valdes-Scantling (back) was limited at Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was removed from a Week 18 loss to the Lions in the second quarter and eventually diagnosed with a back injury. He wasn't a part of the Packers' unofficial session last Wednesday, but with a week to rest up he's back on the field with a cap on his reps. Valdes-Scantling will have two more chances to get back to full before the team potentially gives him a designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers.

  • Practicing Tuesday

    Valdes-Scantling (back) took part in practice Tuesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: The bye week appears to have treated the Packers well, as a number of key players on both the active roster and injured reserve mixed into drills at the media-access portion of Tuesday's session. Valdes-Scantling himself is dealing with a back issue that he suffered in the regular-season finale and kept him off the practice field last week. Wednesday's injury report will reveal his activity level.

  • Not at practice

    Valdes-Scantling (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling apparently isn't ready for practice three days after injuring his back in the second quarter of Green Bay's Week 18 loss to Detroit, but he'll have some extra time to get healthy with his team on bye in the first round of the playoffs. If Valdes-Scantling isn't ready for the next round, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb (groin) will be the top candidates to take on extra snaps and targets.

  • Picks up back injury

    Valdes-Scantling departed Sunday's game at Detroit with a back injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Prior to heading to the locker room in the second quarter, Valdes-Scantling was unable to haul in his only target from Aaron Rodgers. The Packers thus are left with Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, Equanimeous St. Brown, Juwann Winfree and Amari Rodgers at wide receiver for the rest of Week 18. Valdes-Scantling will have a week to rest and recover in advance of the team's playoff opener in the divisional round.

  • Quiet in return

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted three times and caught one pass for three yards in Sunday's 37-10 victory over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling returned to action after spending Week 16 on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and he played about as many snaps as he was handling prior to his absence. However, the Packers leaned heavily on four other players and Valdes-Scantling made only a blip in the box score. Valdes-Scantling remains a boom-or-bust fantasy option, and his prospects will be tilted toward the latter in Week 18, as starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) could be limited or held out altogether with the Packers…read more

  • Off COVID-19 list

    The Packers activated Valdes-Scantling (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling sat out the Packers' Week 16 win against the Browns after testing positive for the virus last Tuesday, marking his sixth absence of the campaign. Per usual, his production has been sporadic on a weekly basis when available, with a respectable 25-427-3 receiving line on 51 targets in nine appearances. Valdes-Scantling will rejoin Allen Lazard as the co-No. 2s behind top wide receiver Davante Adams.

  • Added to COVID-19 list

    Valdes-Scantling was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the virus.

    Analysis: He becomes the second Green Bay player added to the list, joining defensive tackle Kenny Clark. If Valdes-Scantling is vaccinated, he'll have a chance at being cleared ahead of Saturday's game against the Browns so long as he's asymptomatic of the virus. The 27-year-old is coming off a big Week 15 outing against the Ravens in which he recorded five receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown on seven targets.

  • Big game Sunday

    Valdes-Scantling caught five of seven targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling enjoyed one of his best performances of the season on a day when top wideout Davante Adams was limited to just 44 yards. Along with matching Adams' team-leading target tally, Valdes-Scantling went for long gains of 31 and 25 yards, with the latter catch coming on a third-and-nine play to begin the fourth quarter. Fittingly, Valdes-Scantling then scored from 11 yards to cap that series, marking his third touchdown of the campaign. After Sunday's encouraging outing,…read more

  • Active for Week 15

    Valdes-Scantling (back) is listed as active Sunday in Baltimore, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: After a week in which his practice reps were capped due to a back injury, Valdes-Scantling will be available to the Packers offense Week 15. Working alongside top wide receiver Davante Adams doesn't allow for consistent volume, but Valdes-Scantling and fellow secondary option Allen Lazard will aim to exploit a Ravens defense that has conceded 8.6 yards per target (seventh worst in the NFL) and 12 touchdowns (tied for 15th most) to the position in 13 games this season.

  • Questionable after limited practice

    Valdes-Scantling (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: He appears on track to play after logging limited practices throughout the week. With Randall Cobb (groin) on IR for at least two more games and likely the rest of the regular season, both Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard have been in full-time roles alongside Davante Adams. The Packers and Ravens are scheduled for a 4:25 ET kickoff Sunday, with Amari Rodgers, Malik Taylor (abdomen) and Juwann Winfree the options to fill in at WR if Valdes-Scantling is inactive or limited.

  • Another limited listing Thursday

    Valdes-Scantling (back) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling maintained his listing from Wednesday's estimated injury report. He has one more session remaining during Week 15 prep, after which the Packers may give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game in Baltimore.

  • Limited by back issue

    Valdes-Scantling was listed as limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report due to a back injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling has been a hit-or-miss performer in his eight appearances this season, turning in two outings of more than 50 yards plus one touchdown, while falling short of those thresholds in every other game but one. He and Allen Lazard are the co-No. 2 wide receivers behind top dog Davante Adams, but Valdes-Scantling's status now is one to monitor as Sunday's game in Baltimore approaches.

  • Catches three passes

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted five times and caught three passes for 20 yards in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling caught at least three passes for the third game in a row, but he also took a clear back seat to both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard in Week 14. Valdes-Scantling has been plenty busy of late, racking up 24 targets over his last three games and playing at least two-thirds of the snaps in each contest, but he also caught just 11 passes during that span, and 75 of the 193 yards he tallied came on one play. He'll take on a depleted Ravens secondary Week 15, but he presumably will be…read more

  • Commands nine targets

    Valdes-Scantling recorded four receptions on nine targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling finished tied for the team lead with nine targets and likely benefited from the absence of Randall Cobb (groin) in the second half. Valdes-Scantling now has 19 targets combined across his last two games. He continued to serve as a deep threat for the team, as he recorded a 28-yard reception early in the third quarter. As a result of that reception, Valdes-Scantling now has at least one reception of 20 or more yards in three consecutive games and has topped 40 total receiving…read more

  • Rips off 75-yard TD

    Valdes-Scantling had four receptions on 10 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling moved into the starting lineup with Allen Lazard (shoulder) missing the contest. The 27-year-old took full advantage of the opportunity, breaking off a 75-yard touchdown while nearly matching his total season output in just one game. Lazard's status for Week 12 is still up in the air, so Valdes-Scantling could get another start alongside Davante Adams against the Rams. That scenario could result in another high-usage game for MVS if the latter has to deal with Jalen Ramsey.

  • Ready to face Vikings

    Valdes-Scantling (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was limited in practice Friday for the second day in a row due to the hip issue, but the Packers weren't concerned enough about the injury to deem him questionable heading into the weekend. Meanwhile, Allen Lazard (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for the Week 11 contest, so Valdes-Scantling should have a clear path to a regular spot in three-receiver sets alongside No. 1 option Davante Adams and slot man Randall Cobb. Valdes-Scantling, Lazard and Cobb had split work as the Nos.…read more

  • Dealing with hip issue

    Valdes-Scantling was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hip injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling already has had a stint on injured reserve this season, sitting out Weeks 4-8 due to a hamstring issue. In two games since his return to action, he's gathered in three of four passes for 60 yards and no scores. Valdes-Scantling wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, so his appearance Thursday is somewhat concerning. In the end, though, the Packers may clear up his status following Friday's session.

  • Makes one catch

    Valdes-Scantling caught one pass for 42 yards on two targets against Seattle on Sunday.

    Analysis: That Valdes-Scantling saw just two targets indicates the Seahawks were taking the deep threat seriously. It's the one card that MVS can always count on, but when defenses take it away he sometimes goes cold for stretches. Valdes-Scantling might not be consistent in this role, but he won't stay cold forever. The Vikings will have to take him seriously in Week 11.

  • Two receptions in return

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted twice and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: After missing five games with a hamstring injury, Valdes-Scantling returned to action Week 9. He was on the field for over half of the 63 plays run by the Packers offense, but his opportunities to contribute were minimal. Valdes-Scantling averaged 5.3 targets in the three games he played prior to his absence, and he -- like all Packers pass catchers -- should benefit when starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (illness) is back in the fold. However, fantasy players will want to see more from…read more

  • Activated off IR

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and is eligible to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The Packers' receiving core is now back to full strength with Davante Adams and Allen Lazard both returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but they'll obviously be without star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week. The speedy wide receiver brings a much-needed deep threat to the Packers offense, but it's unclear how different this version of the offense will be with Jordan Love slated to make his first career start.

  • Returns to practice

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against Arizona but ultimately was unable to suit up. However, he returned to the practice field Monday for the first time since early October. Although Davante Adams (illness) was unable to practice Monday, Allen Lazard (undisclosed) was on the field, signaling that the Packers' receivers are nearing a return to full strength.

  • Not activated Thursday

    The Packers didn't activate Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game at Arizona, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Green Bay thus will be without three of its top wide receivers, including Davante Adams (illness) and Allen Lazard (undisclosed), both of whom are on the reserve/COVID-19 list. With the trio sidelined Week 8, Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown, Malik Taylor, Amari Rodgers and Juwann Winfree will serve at the team's WR options.

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) is trending toward an absence for Thursday's game at Arizona, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: If the preceding comes to pass, the Packers will be without their top three wide receivers, as both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard are on the reserve/COVID-19 list and slated to be unavailable as well. Valdes-Scantling is in the later stages of his recovery from a hamstring injury and has missed the requisite three games while on IR, but it appears Green Bay will wait another week before bringing him back to the active roster. With the aforementioned trio out, the Packers' wide receiving corps…read more

  • Headed for game-day decision

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) is traveling to Arizona for Thursday's game against the Cardinals and hopes to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the contest, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: The Packers have until 4 p.m. ET on Thursday to activate Valdes-Scantling from IR. They might have been inclined to wait another week, until Davante Adams and Allen Lazard both landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. With the team's wideout group severely depleted, Valdes-Scantling is hoping to play in Thursday's game without first completing a practice, and after missing the past three weeks due to a hamstring injury. It's a situation where a pitch count would make sense if Valdes-Scantling suits…read more

  • Could return Thursday

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) has a chance to return from injured reserve for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling has missed the last four weeks with a hamstring issue, but he participated in running drills Monday. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the 27-year-old will be evaluated Tuesday to see how he feels, but the wideout seems to have a good chance to return to game action this week if he isn't feeling sore. Until Green Bay designates Valdes-Scantling to return from IR, he won't be eligible to join the team for practices.

  • Moved to IR

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: This was hardly a surprise given Valdes-Scantling was expected to miss a couple of weeks. Equanimeous St. Brown was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad, but it's likely Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers will see an increased workload alongside usual stalwart Davante Adams.

    The Packers are expected to place Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) on injured reserve, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Once Green Bay makes the move official, Valdes-Scantling will miss at least the next three games due to the hamstring injury that he suffered this past Sunday in San Francisco. However, when the clock starts to tick on his absence remains to be seen. If he lands on IR on Saturday, he'll be sidelined through at least Week 6 at Chicago. With Valdes-Scantling out of the picture for the time being, Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers and Malik Taylor will pick up the slack behind top wide…read more

  • Won't play against Steelers

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: With Valdes-Scantling sidelined, the Packers offense won't have the element of his speed to take the top off the Steelers defense, though top receiver Davante Adams is no slouch when it comes to making plays downfield, and Allen Lazard is capable of doing so as well. MVS will look to heal up enough to return to the field Week 5 against the Bengals.

  • Logging another absence Thursday

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) won't participate in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling pulled up on a route in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win in San Francisco. He's been held out of both sessions this week as he tends to a hamstring injury, which isn't believed to be a long-term issue following an MRI, coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com on Thursday. The Packers are expected to take a decision on Valdes-Scantling down to the wire, so his status for Week 4 against the Steelers may not be known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m.…read more

  • Week 4 status to come down to wire

    Head coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers will need all week to know whether Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) will be able to suit up Sunday versus the Steelers, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: In the wake of the hamstring injury suffered by Valdes-Scantling late in the Packers' Week 3 win at San Francisco, he was unable to practice Wednesday. He has two more opportunities to get on the field this week, which will be key for the fourth-year wide receiver to put himself in a position to play Week 4. If Valdes-Scantling needs some time off, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb figure to pick up the slack alongside top wide receiver Davante Adams.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was merely a spectator, which could indicate the hamstring pull he sustained late in the Packers' Week 3 win at San Francisco may not be severe. In any case, with an absence at practice to begin the week, he's behind the curve in his quest to suit up this Sunday against the Steelers. Valdes-Scantling will have two more chances to practice before that contest.

  • Hurts hamstring Sunday night

    Valdez-Scantling (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against San Francisco.

    Analysis: Valdez-Scantling pulled up while running a deep route, but the Packers caught a break when fellow wide receiver Davante Adams returned to the game on the next play after Adams had gone to the medical tent due to a big hit over the middle. Prior to getting hurt, MVS was in the midst of a strong bounce-back performance, with three catches for 59 yards and a touchdown on four targets.

  • Goose egg in Week 2

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted four times but did not make a catch in Monday night's 35-17 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling had a frustrating outing, but not really through any fault of his own. His first target was broken up along the sideline, then quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed him with a would-be one-yard touchdown later on. Valdes-Scantling subsequently was overthrown by Rodgers on two attempted deep shots in the second half when he had a step on his man. He and Rodgers will hope to get their timing down ahead of Week 3's matchup versus the 49ers.

  • Contained in Week 1

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted seven times and caught three passes for 17 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling led the NFL in yards per reception a season ago, but the Saints prevented him from getting loose for even one big play down the field. On the positive side, Valdes-Scantling did tie Davante Adams for the team lead in targets and was on the field for just four fewer snaps than the Packers' top wideout, so there's reason to believe he can get going Week 2 against the Lions.

  • Will be held out Saturday

    Valdes-Scantling will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Texans, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Valdes-Scantling will compete with Allen Lazard, Amari Rodgers and Devin Funchess for complementary roles in the Green Bay offense, Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com reports.

    Analysis: Last year, Valdes-Scantling tied for second on the team with 63 targets, less than half as many as Davante Adams. This year, the speedy wideout could see even fewer looks, as the Packers' improved depth at wide receiver will make it tough for Valdes-Scantling to match last year's snap count (793, 76.3 percent). On the other hand, MVS finished last season strong with a 4-115-1 receiving line in the playoff loss to Tampa, and his 4.37 speed sets him apart from Lazard, Rodgers and Funchess. Any…read more

  • Hauls in long touchdown

    Valdes-Scantling recorded four receptions on six targets for 115 yards and one touchdown in a 31-26 loss to the Buccaneers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling opened the scoring for the Packers with a 50-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter. He also connected with Aaron Rodgers for a number of other big gains, including receptions of 29 and 24 yards. The performance marked only the second time that he surpassed 100 yards in either a regular-season or postseason contest during the 2020 campaign. Valdes-Scantling will enter the 2021 season in the final year of his rookie contract.

  • Mixed performance in win

    Valdes-Scantling caught two of three targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Bears. He also rushed once for four yards.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling broke the game open with a 72-yard touchdown catch on a third down midway through the second quarter. Following halftime, the speedster again got wide open deep downfield, but Valdes-Scantling dropped what would've been a 53-yard touchdown, shifting momentum back for a stretch during the second half. Despite his inconsistency throughout the campaign, Valdes-Scantling has been a dynamic vertical threat, leading the league with nearly 21 yards per reception while scoring six…read more

  • Fourth goose egg in five games

    Valdes-Scantling was not targeted in Sunday's victory over the Titans.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling played just as many snaps (41) as Allen Lazard and just six fewer than Davante Adams, but he was limited to decoy duty in Week 16 as the downfield passing game was impacted by snowy conditions. Valdes-Scantling has had his moments this season, and he racked up 85 yards and a score as recently as Week 14. However, he also finished without a reception in four of the Packers' last five contests, including the team's Week 12 victory over the Bears. Valdes-Scantling and the Packers…read more

  • Shut out in Week 15

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted once but did not record a touch in Saturday's victory over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Both Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard started alongside Davante Adams on Saturday night, and while Lazard had his most yards in a game since Week 3, Valdes-Scantling was held without a catch for the third time in four games. Lazard also played more snaps than Valdes-Scantling for the first time since that same Week 3 contest. The Packers will face a below-average Titans pass defense in Week 16, but with three goose eggs in his last four games and his snap count in decline, Valdes-Scantling…read more

  • Bounces back with strong Week 15

    Valdes-Scantling secured all six of his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 win against the Lions.

    Analysis: After being held without a catch for a second consecutive outing last Sunday afternoon against the Eagles, Valdes-Scantling provided his third-greatest receiving total of the 2020 campaign during a road trip to Detroit. Also of note, Valdes-Scantling doubled the target share of Allen Lazard during Week 14, a change of events after Lazard out-targeted the South Florida product 14-8 over the Packers' preceding three games.

  • Held catchless in second straight

    Valdes-Scantling did not haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's victory over the Eagles and finished the contest with one carry for negative-4 yards.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling would have had a better day had he hauled in a long pass downfield, but he was ultimately held without a reception for the second week in a row. Valdes-Scantling was on the field for 75 percent of the plays the Packers ran Sunday, but that number declined for the third week in a row as Allen Lazard gets more involved in the offense.

  • Not targeted in Week 12 win

    Valdes-Scantling did not record a target in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was on the field for a shade under 80 percent of the plays the Packers ran in Week 12, but he was limited primarily to blocking and decoy duties and was held without a catch for the second time this season. His production has declined since Allen Lazard returned to action in Week 11, and with the Packers' offense just about at full speed, Valdes-Scantling figures to continue playing a complementary role.

  • Suiting up Week 12

    Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game versus the Bears.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling appeared on the injury report as a limited participant Thursday and didn't practice at all Friday, the result of an Achilles concern. Despite the lack of reps to end the week, he'll be available to the Packers offense, but his workload remains to be seen. Davante Adams and Allen Lazard should serve as the team's top two wide receivers, with Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown (knee), Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor on hand for any reps that linger.

  • Questionable after missed practice

    Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) was held out of Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: He was a midweek addition to the injury report, listed as limited in Thursday's practice. If Valdes-Scantling were to miss Sunday's game, Allen Lazard likely would take over as the No. 2 receiver, with Darrius Shepherd, Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) and Malik Taylor providing depth. The Packers don't play until Sunday night, so it could be a tricky situation for those planning to start MVS in fantasy lineups.

  • Picks up Achilles injury

    Valdes-Scantling was limited in practice Thursday due to an Achilles injury, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Making a sudden appearance on the Packers' injury report midweek isn't a great sign for Valdes-Scantling's status, especially considering the nature of the injury. Still, he was one of three Packers receivers -- also, Allen Lazard (core) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) -- to be limited Thursday, while Davante Adams (ankle) didn't practice at all. Friday's injury could be telling for the breakdown of Green Bay's receiving corps for Sunday's contest versus the Bears.

  • Key fumble in defeat

    Valdes-Scantling recorded three receptions on six targets for 55 yards in Week 11 against the Colts.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling continued in a deep-threat role, as the majority of his production came on a 47-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to set up a game-tying field goal. However, he also had the game-deciding error, fumbling after a short gain in overtime to put the Colts in field-goal position. Overall, Valdes-Scantling held onto his role as Aaron Rodgers' second receiver, though that could change in Week 12 against the Bears as Allen Lazard will be another game removed from his core…read more

    Valdes-Scantling corralled four of six targets for 149 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-20 win against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling hauled in a deep Aaron Rodgers pass down the right sideline, swinging all the way across the field to out-maneuver three Jaguar defenders after the catch, even deploying one referee as a convoy en route to a breakthrough score for the Packers at the 14:47 mark of the second quarter. By virtue of the game-breaking play, Valdes-Scantling concluded the contest with more than double the receiving production of Davante Adams.

  • Maximizes both catches in win

    Valdes-Scantling secured two of four targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 34-17 win over the 49ers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was once again in the highly familiar role of playing clear second fiddle to Davante Adams, but he still managed to reward fantasy managers with a productive showing courtesy of his touchdown grabs of 52 and one yard in the second and third quarter, respectively. The pair of scores were MVS's first visits to the end zone since Week 1, however, and with Allen Lazard (abdomen) projected to return for a Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars in 10 days, the former's fantasy glory may…read more

  • Quiet again in Week 8

    Valdes-Scantling caught one pass for 19 yards and had one carry for four yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling got a chance to run the ball for the second straight week, but he again was quiet in the passing game despite being on the field for all but 13 of the 75 plays run by the Packers offense. Valdes-Scantling has ran as the team's No. 2 receiver since Allen Lazard (abdomen) landed on injured reserve, but he hasn't run with the opportunity, totaling just 96 receiving yards and 13 rushing yards in the four games Lazard has missed. Valdes-Scantling could hold onto that spot for…read more

  • No receptions in Week 7

    Valdes-Scantling did not catch a pass in Sunday's 35-20 victory over the Texans but did have one carry for nine yards.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling played by far the second-most snaps among Packers wideouts and was targeted four times, but he ultimately only ended up with the lone touch on the ground. He should continue seeing the field plenty until Allen Lazard (abdomen) returns, and his next matchup will come against a Vikings team he recorded 96 yards and a score against Week 1. However, with just 91 yards from scrimmage over his last four games, it's tough to trust Valdes-Scantling in fantasy lineups right now.

  • Bottled up by Buccaneers

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted five times and caught three passes for 32 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling wound up playing the most snaps among Packers receivers Week 6, but he was held in check by a Tampa team that allowed quarterback Aaron Rodgers to complete just 16 passes before coming out of the game. It's encouraging for Valdes-Scantling's fantasy prospects that he played 84 percent of the offensive snaps for the third straight game, but what isn't so promising are his averages of 2.8 receptions and 36.5 yards per contest -- not to mention zero touchdowns -- since his…read more

    Valdes-Scantling caught four of eight targets for 45 yards in Monday night's 30-16 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling spearheaded Green Bay's receiving corps on a night when top options Davante Adams (hamstring) and Allen Lazard (abdomen) were both sidelined. While their absences enabled Valdes-Scantling to garner a season high in targets, it was tight end Robert Tonyan and tailback Jamaal Williams who paced the Packers in yards, as both came close to 100. Although Valdes-Scantling helped move the sticks here and there, his final output wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Nonetheless, his…read more

  • Fails to capitalize on opportunity

    Valdes-Scantling caught just one of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 37-30 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Davante Adams (hamstring) was unable to suit up for this primetime matchup, opening the door for either Valdes-Scantling or Allen Lazard to grasp the No. 1 wideout role. The latter was able to seize the opportunity, posting a monstrous 6-146-1 line. Aaron Rodgers is looking like his former MVP self again, so there could be enough balls to go around for all three of the Packers' top receivers in most matchups. That said, it has become clear that Valdes-Scantling is third in the pecking order…read more

  • Three catches as Adams hurts hammy

    Valdes-Scantling caught three of seven targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was one target and four yards short of Aaron Jones' team-leading totals as No. 1 wide receiver Davante Adams left the game with a hamstring injury. If Adams can't go in Week 3 against the Saints, Valdes-Scantling would be an enticing fantasy option as Aaron Rodgers' top target on the outside.

    Analysis: The oft-maligned third-year wideout, who disappeared for long stretches last season, was a surprising beneficiary of a prolific passing day by Aaron Rodgers on Sunday. Valdes-Scantling was a distant second to Davante Adams in both receptions and receiving yards on the Packers, but he locked in a productive fantasy day courtesy of a pretty 45-yard scoring grab with 14 seconds remaining in the first half.

  • Enters season third on depth chart

    The Packers list Valdes-Scantling as their No. 3 receiver on their first unofficial depth chart heading into Sunday's season opener at Minnesota, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though his chances of cracking a regular role in the Packers' three-receiver formations increased greatly after Devin Funchess opted out of the 2020 season, Valdes-Scantling still had to earn a starting role in training camp. He appears to have done just that, beating out Equanimeous St. Brown and Malik Taylor for the No. 3 job. Even if Valdes-Scantling resumes handling the 60-plus percent snap share he routinely enjoyed in the first half of the 2019 season, he'll still likely be a tertiary…read more

  • Packers remain hopeful

    According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, the Packers are "counting on Valdes-Scantling rediscovering his health and confidence" and filling the No. 3 receiver spot on the depth chart.

    Analysis: Valdes-Scantling got off to a fine start in 2019, tallying 21 receptions, 416 receiving yards and two scores over his first seven games. However, he went dormant after that, tallying just 36 yards the rest of the way while battling lower-leg injuries and losing his spot in the offense. Despite the poor finish, Valdes-Scantling has shown flashes both years he has played in the league, and the Packers are banking on him bouncing back from last season's quiet second half.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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
