Marquez Valdes-Scantling Fine After Aggravating Chest Injury
2 days agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) aggravated his chest injury in the Week 17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday but checked out OK after the game. Valdes-Scantling was injured in the fourth quarter and never returned. MVS missed the Week 16 loss to the Green Bay Packers because of his chest injury, so the Saints pulled him on Sunday out of caution. It sounds like he's fine, but it doesn't mean he'll play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Buccaneers with nothing on the line for New Orleans. He had a three-game stretch from Weeks 10-13 in which he caught seven passes for 232 yards and four touchdowns, but he's since caught six of 16 targets for 115 yards and no scores in the last three games. MVS is an unreliable boom/bust deep threat that should only be considered in fantasy if quarterback Derek Carr (hand) returns in Week 18.
