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

Tuesday, December 30, 6:11 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling figures to be heavily targeted again in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday night against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, with DK Metcalf suspended one more game. In Sunday's upset loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, Valdes-Scantling drew a season-high nine targets, hauling in three of them for a mediocre 21 receiving yards. The 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher has only five catches on 14 targets for 46 yards and one touchdown in his four games since joining Pittsburgh. MVS hasn't really been on the same page as quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and his target share could be affected if Calvin Austin III (hamstring) returns in a must-win Week 18 contest that will decide the winner of the AFC North. At best, Valdes-Scantling will be a deep-league dart throw as a WR5/flex versus Baltimore this weekend.

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.
