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.

Marvin Mims Jr. News

Marvin Mims Jr.'s Path to Dynasty Relevance May Require a Change in Scenery

Sunday, May 3, 11:59 AM

After his encouraging close to the 2024 season, Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was one of the buzzier names in fantasy circles entering 2025. However, the 24-year-old remained siloed to a limited role in his team's offense, recording just 37 receptions for 322 yards and one touchdown on 51 targets across 15 games. Heading into 2026, Mims Jr. now appears to be buried on the Broncos wide receiver depth chart. Denver acquired star wideout Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins early in the offseason, adding to a deep group of wideouts that also includes Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant. While Mims Jr.'s spot on the Broncos roster is likely safe due to his ability to contribute as a returner and a big-play gadget piece, his path to fantasy relevance may require a change in scenery. In dynasty formats, Mims Jr.'s stock is fading entering 2026.
