The most promising of the Packers trio of athletic, second-year receivers, Valdes-Scantling has the size, ball-tracking, and speed to become a productive starter and top-25 fantasy producer. He was also the best performer of the three rookies on the depth chart in 2018. The receiver picture beyond Davante Adams is cloudy at this time, but Valdes-Scantling and fellow High Upside option Jake Kumerow are the ones to watch.
Summary
Coming into the 2018 season, expectations were low for rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He was the second of three consecutive wide receivers drafted by the Packers in 2018, and was considered a talented but raw prospect. He didn't have prolific stats in college, but a closer look shows a very productive player who took advantage when given an opportunity. In his senior season, Valdes-Scantling had six (+) receptions in four games and averaged 130 yards per game in those contests. I make the point because his rookie season shows a similar pattern. Valdes-Scantling finished second on the team in receptions (38) and yards (581) while averaging 15.3 yards per catch. Rodgers targeted Valdes-Scantling six or more times in seven games, with the rookie averaging four catches for 65 yards in those contests. He had a three game run against the 49ers, Patriots and Rams where he caught eight passes for 249 yards and a touchdown, with two of them being 100+ yard games. With a quarterback as precise and demanding as Rodgers, especially outside the pocket, it is not easy for a rookie to come in gain his trust. That is what Valdes-Scantling accomplished though, as he used a professional approach to practicing and film study and Rodgers took notice. At 6'4 with 4.37 40 yard speed, Valdes-Scantling is the deep threat that the Packers have been looking for the last three years. Valdes-Scantling is battling Geranimo Allison and fellow sophomore Equanimeous St. Brown for the #2 and #3 receiver job, but it looks like he has the inside track heading into training camp. The #2 receiver in a Rodgers lead offense has fantasy value, especially with Adams commanding so much attention from opposing secondaries. While Valdes-Scantling may come with some risk, he also has considerable upside as the Packers primary deep threat and the ceiling of a #2 fantasy receiver. (May 3)FBG Staff Rankings

Packers | Mentor for Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Sun Jul 14, 10:16 PM) - Green Bay Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling said he has been working out with retired WR Randy Moss four days a week to prepare of the upcoming season. Our View: Be on the lookout for Valdes-Scantling this year. He could win the No. 2 job for the Packers opposite of Davante Adams. The second-year pro can create separation and should continue to build trust with QB Aaron Rodgers. His current ADP is WR42 (9.07) in 12-team PPR leagues.link to story
