  • Saints' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Catches one pass in NOLA debut

    Valdes-Scantling hauled in his only target for five yards during Sunday's 23-22 loss versus the Panthers.

    Valdes-Scantling had a quiet start to his Saints tenure, as he saw his lone target midway through the third quarter. The 30-year-old played 41.0 percent of offensive snaps, which trailed only Mason Tipton (76.0 percent) and Cedrick Wilson (47.0 percent). Meanwhile, WR1 Chris Olave was forced out with a concussion in the first quarter. If Olave ends up missing time moving forward, then Tipton, Wilson and Valdes-Scantling could all see increased targets. However they'll still have to contend with running back Alvin Kamara and tight end Taysom Hill, as these two topped the Saints in targets Week 9 with nine and five, respectively. The Saints' next game will come versus the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 10.

  • Saints' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Finds new home

    The Saints signed Valdes-Scantling on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    In the wake of losing Rashid Shaheed for the season due to a torn meniscus last week, the Saints were in the market for help at wide receiver, both in the short and long term. No. 1 receiver Chris Olave remains in the concussion protocol, leaving Mason Tipton, Bub Means and Cedrick Wilson as the healthy options at the position prior to the addition of Valdes-Scantling. Before getting cut by the Bills last Tuesday, the veteran wideout had hauled in two of nine targets for 26 yards in six appearances this season.

  • Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Works out in Big Easy

    Valdes-Scantling had a workout with the Saints on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Less than a week removed from exiting Buffalo, Valdes-Scantling could be in line to call a new city home. The speedy pass catcher was not able to stand out enough with the Bills to hold on to a roster spot, but the receiver-needy Saints could make more sense for his services. In his seventh season, the journeyman has logged just 26 yards on two receptions across six games.

  • Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Moving on from Buffalo

    The Bills released Valdes-Scantling on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Valdes-Scantling's release frees up a spot on the 53-man roster for the newly acquired Amari Cooper, but the Bills won't clear any cap space with the move, as Valdes-Scantling signed a fully guaranteed one-year, $2.25 million deal in the offseason. He suited up in each of the Bills' first six games of the season but failed to make much of an impact, logging just two catches for 26 yards on nine targets while playing 127 snaps.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Held catchless in loss

    Valdes-Scantling failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Valdes-Scantling continued to play a limited role in Buffalo's offense in Week 4. The veteran wideout played 25 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps, behind Keon Coleman (43), Mack Hollins (36) and Khalil Shakir (35). His one target was the lowest of any Buffalo wide receiver in the contest. Going forward, Valdes-Scantling won't hold much fantasy value barring injuries to the other members of the receiving corps. The Bills are set to visit the Texans in Week 5.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Leads receivers in snaps

    Valdes-Scantling hauled in one of his two targets for a seven-yard gain in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.

    Valdes-Scantling finished as the surprising leader in playing time among Bills wideouts in Week 3. He took the field for 49 of the Bills' 64 offensive snaps, with his 77 percent snap share narrowly outpacing Mack Hollins (72 percent) and Khalil Shakir (55 percent). However, even with quarterback Josh Allen spreading the ball out liberally among his pass catchers through the first three weeks, Valdes-Scantling hasn't been able to make a mark in the box score. He's drawn just five targets this season and will likely continue to function mainly as a downfield threat who attracts attention from the defense and frees up looks for others underneath.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Non-factor in Week 2 win

    Valdes-Scantling didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.

    Valdes-Scantling has just one catch on three targets through two games with the Bills. The speedster will likely connect with big-armed quarterback Josh Allen for a few big plays this season, but those will probably come sporadically given Valdes-Scantling's lack of a consistent role in Buffalo's offense. Heading into a Week 3 home game against the Jaguars, Valdes-Scantling is fifth among Bills wide receivers in targets behind Khalil Shakir (eight), Keon Coleman (six), Curtis Samuel (four) and Mack Hollins (four).

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Targeted twice in win

    Valdes-Scantling reeled in one of his two targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

    Valdes-Scantling played just 13 of the Bills' 62 offensive snaps Sunday, the fewest of any Buffalo wideout. Buried on the depth chart behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel, the 29-year-old likely will struggle to see enough consistent playing time to sustain fantasy relevance. Nonetheless, Valdes-Scantling will have his next opportunity to produce in what projects to be a shootout between Buffalo and Miami in Week 2.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Healthy to kick off regular season

    Valdes-Scantling (neck) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Valdes-Scantling has apparently made a full recovery from the neck injury he suffered in an Aug. 17 preseason game versus the Steelers. Moving past the neck issue doesn't guarantee that the veteran deep threat will be active Sunday versus Arizona, though, as all of Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins are healthy and seem to be ahead of him on the depth chart. If he suits up Sunday, Valdes-Scantling may be limited to just a handful of snaps.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Practicing in regular jersey

    Valdes-Scantling (neck) participated in the portion of practice open to the media Wednesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR 550 Radio reports.

    Valdes-Scantling suffered a neck injury in a preseason game Aug. 17 against the Steelers, but he has made progress in his recovery. Every member of Buffalo's recently finalized 53-man roster participated Wednesday in some capacity, and Valdes-Scantling wasn't among the three players donning red non-contact jerseys. The veteran deep threat thus appears on track to suit up Week 1 against the Cardinals, but it will be worth monitoring whether Valdes-Scantling's name pops up on the injury reports that Buffalo will begin issuing next week.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Makes final cut

    Valdes-Scantling (neck) has made Buffalo's initial 53-man roster, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Valdes-Scantling was no lock to make the roster, but head coach Sean McDermott expressed optimism last week that the veteran wideout has a good chance of being ready for Week 1. When the Bills made their cutdown decisions, the team had a desire to keep a downfield threat on the roster, which helped Valdes-Scantling secure a spot. Despite his standing on the roster, Valdes-Scantling isn't guaranteed to be active Week 1 against the Cardinals, and even if he does suit up, he'll likely be the fifth receiver on the depth chart to start the season.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: May be ready for Week 1

    When asked Thursday about the chances of Valdes-Scantling (neck) and Curtis Samuel (turf toe) playing Week 1, coach Sean McDermott expressed a degree of optimism, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    "I feel like those two, from what I've heard so far, have a real good chance of being back, just not committing to it yet," McDermott noted of Valdes-Scantling and Samuel. Once available, Valdes-Scantling will look to solidify his standing in a Buffalo WR corps that also includes Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Samuel, Mack Hollins and KJ Hamler.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Out multiple weeks

    Valdes-Scantling (neck) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    With Valdes-Scantling's Week 1 status now unclear and Curtis Samuel (turf toe) week-to-week, the Bills' depth at wideout ahead of the regular season is being taxed. For now, Buffalo's top healthy options at the position are Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman, but it's plausible that the team will look to bolster the ranks in the coming days.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: X-rays return negative

    Valdes-Scantling had X-rays on his neck that came back negative, and he's been diagnosed with a neck sprain, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Valdes-Scantling was carted from the sideline to the locker room due to the neck injury during Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh, so his diagnosis is positive news in that context. It's uncertain whether the veteran wideout will be able to play in Buffalo's final preseason contest against Carolina on Saturday, but it looks like the injury won't sideline him long term. That said, Valdes-Scantling hasn't had a great camp, so it's not a guarantee that he'll end up on the 53-man roster.

  • Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Ruled out Saturday

    Valdes-Scantling (neck) won't return to Saturday's preseason contest at Pittsburgh.

    Valdes-Scantling had his neck stabilized after a catch in the second quarter and eventually was carted to the locker room. Considering he's lagged behind in the WR competition in training camp and now is dealing with a health concern, he could be in danger of not making the Bills' initial roster after cut-down day Tuesday, Aug. 27.
