The Kansas City Chiefs are dealing with a suddenly-depleted receiving corps as they head into a Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling popped up on KC's injury report this week.
An offseason acquisition, the former Green Bay Packer has been an unsteady fantasy producer for his new squad. Valdes-Scantling has topped 100 receiving yards in a game for Kansas City just once in 2022.
Is Marquez Valdes-Scantling healthy or injured? What is his fantasy football injury outlook for Week 11?

Is Marquez Valdes-Scantling Hurt Or Healthy?
Hopes were high for Valdes-Scantling when he signed an offseason deal with the high-octane Kansas City Chiefs. While the former Packer has been a serviceable producer, he's reached the paint just once this year, despite catching passes from Patrick Mahomes.
Valdes-Scantling popped up on the KC injury report this week. He missed Wednesday's practice with an illness and was a limited participant in Thursday's session. MVS returned to practice in full fashion on Friday and he enters Week 11 without an injury designation.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 11
After returning to practice on Thursday and Friday, Valdes-Scantling does not carry an injury designation into Week 11's game against the Chargers.
His availability is significant for a Chiefs squad that is severely injury-depleted in the receiving corps.
With Mecole Hardman on IR and JuJu Smith-Schuster ruled out due to a concussion, Valdes-Scantling's role in the KC passing attack should be sizable against the Chargers Sunday night. MVS will head up a receiving corps that will include Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, and Justin Watson this week. Normally a boom/bust FLEX option, he vaults into near must-start territory for his fantasy managers thanks to his expected uptick in volume in Week 11.
