Who Should I Start? Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Parris Campbell

Sunday, December 22, 3:10 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is listed as questionable for the team's Monday night matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Valdes-Scantling did not practice all week. Originally sidelined on Thursday with a chest injury, he was also dealing with an illness that kept him out of the subsequent practices. With Rashid Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve, Chris Olave (concussion) not yet ready to return, and Bub Means (ankle) facing a potential shutdown, the Saints are already thin at wide receiver. If MVS can take the field, fantasy managers cannot expect more of the big plays that made him an alluring flex over the last few weeks. With Derek Carr (hand) nursing injuries of his own, rookie Spencer Rattler will take over under center, downgrading the entire New Orleans offense. Should Valdes-Scantling sit for Week 16, the team will turn to Kevin Austin Jr., Cedrick Wilson Jr., and Dante Pettis to step up.

The Philadelphia Eagles waived wide receiver Parris Campbell on Monday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The 27-year-old has appeared in five games this season, catching six of his eight targets for 30 yards and one touchdown. The former Colt and Giant will now be subject to waivers. If he clears waivers, he could end up on the Eagles' practice squad. It's possible that the Eagles' decision to waive Campbell means that DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is trending toward playing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14.
