Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
Now 31 and in Dallas, his fantasy case lives entirely on volume he hasn't earned in a year. He remains a true vertical threat, but route counts and target rate have eroded each season. Unless the depth chart hands him meaningful snaps, treat him as a late-round dart at best and a waiver-wire afterthought in most formats. Full outlook

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR131 last season at 3.2 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 1 game he's WR154 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 3.2 over 10 games last season (WR131). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 102nd of 142 in target volume (5.3% target share), 94th of 142 in downfield role (8.2% air-yards share) and 134th of 142 in efficiency (0.53 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Justin Herbert is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The arrow points down for Valdes-Scantling, and the numbers explain why. His 2025 stint in Pittsburgh cratered to a 5.3% target share across nine games, with a minus-0.105 EPA per play, a 41.4% success rate, and just 0.53 yards per route run on 226 routes. He caught 48.3% of his looks for 120 yards and a single score, landing 139th at the position. That is a far cry from his 2024 ceiling in New Orleans, where 411 yards and four touchdowns rode a 1.51 YPRR and a 17.9% air-yards share.
Now 31 and in Dallas, his fantasy case lives entirely on volume he hasn't earned in a year. He remains a true vertical threat, but route counts and target rate have eroded each season. Unless the depth chart hands him meaningful snaps, treat him as a late-round dart at best and a waiver-wire afterthought in most formats.
