2025 Fantasy Outlook
Valdes-Scantling spent his first six and a half seasons in the NFL catching passes from Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, but the most productive stretch of the speedy wideout's career came with Derek Carr and Spencer Rattler in Weeks 10-15 of last season (after the Bills released him in October). During that five-game stretch, Valdes-Scantling averaged 2.6 catches for 69.4 yards and 0.8 TDs on 4.8 targets, with six gains of 25-plus yards. It was enough to get $3 million guaranteed from Seattle this offseason, but the Seahawks ended up releasing Valdes-Scantling in late August after rookie Tory Horton overtook the veteran for the No. 3 receiver job. Valdes-Scantling signed with the injury-riddled 49ers shortly thereafter, giving him a shot at Week 1 snaps. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Grabs two receptions Sunday
Valdes-Scantling had two receptions on three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Valdes-Scantling wound up playing 42 snaps (61 percent) on offense while serving as the No. 3 receiver against Tampa Bay. The 30-year-old more than doubled his entire season production with Sunday's output, which highlights his lack of usage through six weeks. Valdes-Scantling will look to stay involved against the Falcons next Sunday, but there is little to see from a fantasy perspective.

After five years with at least 430 yards and two touchdowns, Valdes-Scantling had the worst season of his career. Despite posting 687 yards with Patrick Mahomes in 2022, the receiver saw his catches get cut in half while his yardage fell to 315. As a result, the Chiefs let Valdes-Scantling walk in the offseason. During his career, the pass catcher has caught passes from Aaron Rodgers and Mahomes. It’s unlikely he ever finds a situation that good. Valdes-Scantling could surface as a situational deep threat, and it’s possible his best seasons are behind him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could find new team quickly
Valdes-Scantling is expected to sign with the 49ers or Steelers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wide receiver lost out on a roster spot in Seattle after being passed on the depth chart by rookie Tory Horton. It apparently won't take Valdes-Scantling long to find a new home however, as the 49ers are dealing with a number of injuries at his position while the Steelers have been seeking a potential upgrade all offseason.
