Who Should I Start? Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Andy Isabella

Wednesday, October 15, 3:45 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling pulled in two of his three targets for 22 receiving yards in Week 6. While his stat line may not have been impressive, his utilization was notable. Even with Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) returning to action, Valdes-Scantling saw the third-highest snap share among San Francisco's wide receivers for the second straight week. Rather than get bumped down the depth chart, MVS held onto his role in the slot. Demarcus Robinson, who lined up out wide for 33 of his 40 routes in Week 5, ran a total of 10 routes upon Jennings' return on Sunday. With the returns of George Kittle (hamstring) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) imminent, Valdes-Scantlings' fantasy prospects aren't high, but he is worth monitoring given the 49ers' extensive injury issues this season.

Free agent wide receiver Andy Isabella inked a deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. The 49ers will technically be Isabella's fifth team in the NFL after bouncing around practice squads for the past few years. Isabella will add extra depth with injuries seemingly popping up left and right in the 49ers' wide receiver room. The former 62nd overall pick of the 2019 draft has put up career stats of 33 receptions for 447 yards and three touchdowns. After compiling the majority of these statistics during his first two years in the league with the Arizona Cardinals, Isabella will look to revamp his career in San Francisco.
