It's not a bad idea to roster Valdes-Scantling even with New Orleans on a bye because he's making big plays for Derek Carr, and hopefully that continues in Week 13 until the end of the season. Now, Valdes-Scantling only has seven targets in his past two games combined against Atlanta and Cleveland, but he's turned that into five catches for 196 yards and three touchdowns, which is hard to overlook. Valdes-Scantling is worth adding for 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Valdes-Scantling caught two of four targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 win over the Browns. For the second straight week, Valdes-Scantling and Derek Carr hooked up for a long TD -- this one a 71-yarder in the second quarter -- but the wideout did most of the work this time, taking a short pass over the middle and racing more than 60 yards to paydirt. The four targets were Valdes-Scantling's highest volume in three games since joining New Orleans, but he's posted a mammoth 6-201-3 line on his meager eight looks. He'll try not to cool down during the Saints' Week 12 bye.

The Saints receiving corps is a mess due to injuries, especially with Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve, along with Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) out for Week 10 against Atlanta. A hero was needed against the Falcons, and one arrived in Valdes-Scantling, who had three catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns on three targets. You know the drill with Valdes-Scantling that he will likely disappear in Week 11 against the Browns. But given the injuries for the Saints and the need at receiver, he might become a go-to option for Derek Carr down the stretch. Valdes-Scantling is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Valdes-Scantling caught all three of his targets for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons. He hauled in both of the Saints' touchdowns on the day, and his only non-scoring catch went for 67 yards. It was a stunning performance from the veteran wideout, who came into Sunday with only three catches for 31 yards on the year, but with Rashid Shaheed (knee) lost for the season and Chris Olave (concussion) lacking a clear return date, Derek Carr seems to have found his new big-play threat. Valdes-Scantling will try to solidify his spot in the New Orleans passing attack in Week 11 against Cleveland.

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.
