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.

Jake Bobo Dealing With Leg Injury in Camp

Tuesday, July 28, 5:14 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo (leg) suffered a leg injury in training camp practice on Monday and was a spectator on Tuesday, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. It's unclear how serious the 27-year-old's injury is, but with it being early in camp, the Seahawks are likely being extra cautious with the fourth-year pass-catcher. Bobo caught just two passes for 20 yards in 11 regular-season games (zero starts) in 2025 after combining for 32 receptions, 303 yards, and three touchdowns in 34 games (three starts) in his first two years in the NFL. The former undrafted free agent from UCLA will be competing with second-year wideout Tory Horton and rookie Emmanuel Henderson for the WR4 role in Seattle during camp and the preseason, behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and veteran Cooper Kupp. Most likely, Bobo will make more of an impact on special teams again in 2026 if he remains on the team's 53-man active roster. Bobo can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy football leagues.
