Saints' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Strikes for two TDs against Atlanta
Marquez 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 New Orleans 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.

Saints' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Catches one pass in NOLA debut
Marquez 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans Saints signed Marquez 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
Marquez 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 Marquez 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
Marquez 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 Buffalo 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
Marquez 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 Buffalo 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
Marquez 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 Buffalo 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
Marquez 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 Buffalo 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
Marquez 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.
