Who Should I Start? Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Dyami Brown

Saturday, September 13, 3:22 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling saw zero targets on 15 routes run in Week 1. With George Kittle (hamstring) now on injured reserve and Jauan Jennings (shoulder) tagged as questionable for San Francisco's Week 2 matchup against the Saints, it is possible that Valdes-Scantling plays a bigger role on Sunday. Unfortunately, Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) has been ruled out so it will be Mac Jones under center, limiting Valdes-Scantling's upside even if he does see more playing time. MVS does have the ability to stretch the field but Jones' career completion rate on passes of 20 or more air yards is a mere 30%, effectively negating that threat. If it were Purdy running the show, Valdes-Scantling would have more potential but as it is, he has little viability in Week 2.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Brown is ready to return to action after missing last week's contest. He was limited in practice all week, but that won't hold him out of this Monday night matchup. Through three games, Brown has 10 receptions for 116 yards and one touchdown. Brown could offer some low-end flex value in deep leagues, but should probably be on the bench in most fantasy formats this weekend.
