Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo Allison Quiet In Week 10
Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison were both unproductive in their team's Week 10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Valdes-Scantling didn't register a catch for the second straight week. Meanwhile, Allison caught all three targets for a paltry six yards. For perspective, fellow receiver Davante Adams had more receiving yards in Week 10 than these two combined for the last three weeks. They both cannot be trusted for fantasy purposes anymore, at least until they prove otherwise. Hopefully, they'll shape up during their Week 11 bye because they'll face the San Francisco 49ers' league-best pass defense in Week 12.

Falcons Sign Geronimo Allison
Geronimo Allison to an undisclosed deal on Monday. Allison was recently in camp on a tryout basis with Atlanta. He didn't play at all in 2020 due to concerns about COVID-19, and Allison had zero catches on only two targets in three games played for the Lions last season. In Atlanta, the 28-year-old will compete for a role on offense with the likes of Olamide Zaccheaus, KhaDarel Hodge, Damiere Byrd and Auden Tate behind starters Bryan Edwards and rookie Drake London. There is opportunity with the Falcons given their unsettled receiver depth chart, but fantasy managers can find better gambles at the position in deep leagues.

Ravens Hosting Geronimo Allison On Saturday
Geronimo Allison has a visit scheduled with the Ravens on Saturday. The 28-year-old is best known for his days as a Green Bay Packer, where he played his first four years, totaling 1,045 yards and six touchdowns off 89 catches. He opted out of the 2020 campaign due to COVID-19 concerns, and he played sporadically last season with the Lions, although it was mainly as a member of the practice squad. Nonetheless, if Allison gets signed by Baltimore, there probably won't be a lot of excited fantasy managers. However, after the Ravens sent Marquise Brown to Arizona, there isn't much competition for playing time outside Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews. As a result, Allison could be featured as a waiver wire option at some point during the year, but he'll need to get a deal first before that happens.

Lions Sign Geronimo Allison To The Active Roster
Geronimo Allison to the active roster. Allison was added to the Lions' practice squad in September and promoted to the 53-man roster on Wednesday. With the Green Bay Packers, the 27-year-old caught 89 of his 146 targets for 1,045 yards and six touchdowns in 46 games (14 starts) in four seasons. The Lions are banged up at wide receiver as Tyrell Williams (concussion), and Quintez Cephus (collarbone) are currently sidelined. Allison was added to Lion's roster for depth purposes but is not on the fantasy radar in 2021.
