2022 Receiving Projections
2022 Fantasy Outlook
The Chiefs' plan to replace Tyreek Hill -- so much as that's a thing -- seemingly hinges on a committee rather than any expectation of a true No. 1 receiver. They shopped middle of the market in free agency, landing JuJu Smith-Schuster and Valdes-Scantling, before using a second-round pick on Skyy Moore. Combining those three with Mecole Hardman, the Chiefs have a diverse receiving corps, with JuJu the slot/possession target, Hardman the YAC/screen/rushing guy and Valdes-Scantling the deep threat. Moore could eventually offer elements of each skill set, just as Hill did, but that's a lot to ask of a rookie right out of the gate. Valdes-Scantling, on the other hand, has plenty of experience, with 39 starts in 59 games across four seasons with the Packers. He never did better than 690 yards or six TDs in a season (2020) and still hasn't shown much sign of effectively using his 4.37 speed in the short passing game, but MVS did average at least 15.3 yards per catch each year in Green Bay. He now joins Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on a three-year, $30 million contract, though the team can get out of it after one season and $9 million. Read Past Outlooks

Inks three-year deal
The Chiefs have signed Valdes-Scantling to a three-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, the speedster's three-year pact is worth up to $36 million. Following the trade of Tyreek Hill, it was clear that the Chiefs needed to fortify their wideout corps, and adding Valdes-Scantling to the mix is a step in the right direction. The 27-year-old, who caught 26 of his 55 targets for 430 yards and three TDs in 11 games with Green Bay last season, will bring a field-stretching element to a Kansas City wide receiver depth chart that also includes JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman, with further depth likely to arrive via free agency and/or the 2022 NFL Draft.

Isaiah Spiller may not be thrilled with waiting until the fourth round, but he's still one of the rookie running backs with a chance to have a fantasy impact early on.

After a chaotic Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft, Joe Bartel breaks down the prospects of every skill player drafted in Rounds 2 and 3, including new Packers wideout Christian Watson.

Malik Willis might not be Detroit's pick at second overall, but the Lions could and would be smart to target him later in the first round even if so.

Things couldn't have gone better for Leonard Fournette, while 2021 breakout star Hunter Renfrow takes a hit.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
Valdes-Scantling, known more for drops than performance, turned the corner a bit in 2020, with massive per-play averages of 20.9 YPC (1st among 60-target wideouts) and 11.0 YPT (4th). He also tied for the league lead with six catches of 40-plus yards on only 63 targets. Of course, he still dropped seven of those 63 targets, for a higher drop rate than even Diontae Johnson. At 6-4, 206, and with 4.37 40 speed, MVS is built for downfield routes. His slight build, shaky hands and average route-running skills probably preclude him from seeing much more than that, as does the presence of target magnet Davante Adams. Furthermore, the Packers bring back Allen Lazard and added Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers, so there's no assurance of Valdes-Scantling keeping his top-three role.
