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.

Isaiah Bond News
Thursday, August 20, 6:25 PM
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond is highlighted by Zac Jackson of The Athletic as one of Cleveland's players with the most to prove in the team's upcoming preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Bond flashed upside but also battled inconsistency as a rookie in 2025, recording 18 catches for 338 yards on 44 targets across 16 games (two starts). However, the Browns added significant talent to their wide receiver room over the offseason by using top-40 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft on wideouts KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. Veteran wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman remain potential factors in Cleveland as well. While the 22-year-old Bond still offers some potential, it appears as though he may need to show well in the Browns' remaining preseason games to assure his place in the team's plans for 2026.
