Marquez Valdes-Scantling Gets Another TD
2 months agoA week after he exploded with a 3-109-2 line, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling took another catch to the house in the Saints' 35-14 win over the Browns. Similar to his Week 10 performance, MVS was seldom targeted but made the most of his opportunities. On four targets, he caught two balls for 87 yards and a touchdown, with the score being a 71-yard catch and run in the second quarter. With few other options for quarterback Derek Carr to throw to, Valdes-Scantling seems to have cemented his role as the team's go-to playmaker at wide receiver. Rashid Shaheed (knee) is out for the year, so even if Chris Olave (concussion) is activated from IR before the end of the season, MVS may still be featured as the deep threat for New Orleans. After their Week 12 bye, the Saints will face the Rams, followed by the Giants, who rank 29th and dead-last, respectively, in completion rate allowed on deep throws.
