2023 Fantasy Outlook
Valdes-Scantling signed with the Chiefs last offseason with the expectation of being the deep threat with Tyreek Hill gone. That's how things played out, but Valdes-Scantling finished with only 42 receptions for 687 yards and a pair of touchdowns as Patrick Mahomes just didn't throw deep often -- a career-low 8.2 percent of his attempts were 20-plus yards. From a fantasy perspective, MVS is wildly inconsistent, requiring a couple deep grabs to earn fantasy relevance on a given week. With JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman both gone, Valdes-Scantling could draw a few more targets in 2023 in a wideout corps that also includes Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, Rashee Rice and Richie James, but drafting any pass-catcher in Kansas City's offense other than Travis Kelce is a speculative endeavor.

Goes quiet in Super Bowl
Valdes-Scantling didn't reel in his only target during the Super Bowl versus the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
After a breakout effort during the AFC Championship win over the Bengals, where he recorded six catches for 116 yards and a touchdown, the deep threat was held in check against the Eagles. He closed out the playoffs with seven catches for 122 yards and a pair of scores after compiling 42 grabs for 687 yards and a pair of touchdowns during the regular season. MVS' deal with the Chiefs extends through the 2024 campaign, so he will likely retain a similar role in 2023.

John McKechnie analyzes the fantasy impact of this year's rookie class, including Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who will cost a first-round fantasy pick.

Rashee Rice isn't the only Chiefs wide receiver moving up draft boards this May. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are slipping with WRs becoming more popular in the early rounds.

Jerry Donabedian compares May ADP results from four different best ball sites and finds that young WRs tend to be cheapest on DraftKings.

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 in 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.
