Steelers to sign WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Oct 28, 2025

A Packers teammate of quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to join up with him in Pittsburgh.

According to multiple reports, the Steelers will sign wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Valdes-Scantling worked out for the team on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

Valdes-Scantling appeared in five games for the 49ers earlier this season and was released from their injured reserve list earlier this month, the story said. Of course, it's a reunion between QB Aaron Rodgers and MVS from their days with the Packers, and the Steelers are likely hoping there is still some chemistry.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson expected to play Thursday

We’ll see how Jackson is listed on this week’s injury reports, but John Harbaugh said the plan is for Lamar Jackson to play against the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story points out, Jackson’s status for Sunday’s game against the Bears was a source of some confusion over the weekend. Jackson has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, but he was back on the practice field last week. His participation level became an issue after the Ravens improperly listed him as a full participant before changing the designation to limited when they ruled him out on Saturday.

The Commanders have made a few moves on Monday to help replace their injured kicker.

Washington announced Matt Gay has been downgraded to out with a back injury. Because of that, the club signed kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad and has elevated him for Monday’s matchup against the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact:

Wright, 29, filled in for Joey Slye for one game with the Titans earlier this month. He has previously appeared in at least one game for the Chiefs, 49ers, Panthers, Steelers, and Jaguars, the story said.

Vikings QB Carson Wentz is undergoing season-ending surgery on his left shoulder. He will be placed on IR.

Related players: J.J. McCarthy, Max Brosmer

Fantasy Impact:

Wentz played multiple games with the injury, the post went on to say. As we reported earlier today, McCarthy is in line to return to practice and start for Minnesota in Week 9 against Detroit. Brosmer could become the team's QB2. The team is said to be high on Brosmer, but he's an undrafted rookie. The Vikings will likely bring in another QB.
