In a surprising turn of events, Marquez Valdes-Scantling delivered a standout performance for the New Orleans Saints, catching three passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns in their narrow victory over the Atlanta Falcons. This game marked a significant turnaround for Valdes-Scantling, who had struggled earlier in the season. With injuries to key players, he has emerged as a vital target for quarterback Derek Carr. Meanwhile, his earlier struggles with the Buffalo Bills during training camp raise questions about his consistency moving forward.
- Valdes-Scantling's performance indicates he could be a key player in the Saints' offense moving forward.
