Marquez Valdes-Scantling News
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.

Brandon Aiyuk News
Wednesday, June 3, 10:27 AM
A warrant has been issued for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's arrest in Northern California, according to Edward Lewis of The California Post. Aiyuk is wanted on a misdemeanor charge of exhibition of speed, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office. The matter stems from a video that the pass-catcher posted to his YouTube page in December. He reached speeds of over 100 mph on Santa Clara roadways, at one point hitting 104 mph as he went by Levi's Stadium. The 28-year-old former first-rounder in 2020 out of Arizona State had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons for the Niners in 2022 and 2023 before signing a four-year, $120 million contract with the team in August of 2024. Aiyuk then only played in seven games in 2024 before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Aiyuk missed the entire 2025 campaign and is likely to be released by the organization this offseason. Most reports project Aiyuk to land with the Washington Commanders, where he would be reunited with quarterback Jayden Daniels. However, this new legal matter could complicate matters and open Aiyuk up to a suspension from the NFL to begin the 2026 season.
