Marquez Valdes-Scantling Could Have Elevated Role Again in Week 18

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.

Isaiah Bond News

Is Isaiah Bond Still Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?

Saturday, June 6, 12:49 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond recorded 18 receptions for 338 yards and zero touchdowns on 44 targets across 16 games as a rookie in 2025. The 22-year-old wasn't exactly helped by the offensive environment around him in Cleveland, which was one of the worst in the NFL last season. Still, Bond was unable to establish himself as a consistent contributor in a Browns' passing game that was desperately searching for pass-catching talent to emerge. Entering 2026, Bond looks to be in a much worse position to secure a spot in Cleveland's long-term plans. The Browns used top-40 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston and retained veteran wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. Bond still carries some dynasty upside, but he may also find himself completely on the outside looking in in Cleveland. RotoBaller ranks Bond as the dynasty WR113 heading into 2026.
