6 years agoThere were not too many notable performances in the Green Bay Packers first preseason game when they played the Tennessee Titans. However, rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling made a strong case for himself. He caught five passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. This includes a 51 yarder in the third quarter. Valdes-Scantling was the second of three wide receivers drafted by Green Bay in 2018. It is hard to get too excited about Valdes-Scantling. He was matched up against players who may not even be on a roster a month from now. Additionally, he was one of the players singled out by Aaron Rodgers as displaying piss-poor effort and execution in practice. Still, with his biggest competition, J’Mon Moore, struggling with dropped passes this performance was a nice start. It is hard to Valdes-Scantling getting much playing time in his rookie year even with the opportunity created by the departure of Jordy Nelson. Valdes-Scantling should only be viewed as a fringe roster candidate in deep dynasty leagues.--Tyger McGuiggan
