"Valdes-Scantling reunites with former Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak in Seattle and joins a receiver room that features little in the way of proven options other than Jaxon Smith-Njigba. New Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will have to make do with a receiving corps that has lost two 2024 starters, with DK Metcalf now in Pittsburgh and Tyler Lockett getting released. Their departures open up a potential path for Valdes-Scantling to see steady playing time as a deep threat. He recorded 17 catches (35 targets) for 385 yards and four scores across eight games with New Orleans in 2024."

	Marquez Valdes-Scantling's target share has increased by 161.49% over the past 12 weeks.
	Marquez Valdes-Scantling's receiving yards have increased by 300+% over the past 14 weeks.
	Marquez Valdes-Scantling's targets have increased by 210.0% over the past 12 weeks.

	Marquez Valdes-Scantling's total yards have decreased by 75.0+% over the past 6 weeks.

Trends

"Metcalf was traded to Pittsburgh after spending his first six NFL seasons in Seattle. Metcalf has proven durable (he's missed three games in his career), but he hasn't quite lived up to lofty expectations. Despite leading the NFL (by 10) with 96 end zone targets since entering the league, Metcalf has finished one season in the top 20 among WRs in fantasy PPG (10th in 2020), though he has finished top 25 in four of his past five seasons. His vertical role has limited his catch total and his scoring has underwhelmed lately, as well (6.3 TDs per season since 2022). With minimal mouths to feed in Pittsburgh, Metcalf is assured of a big target share, but he'll need to overcome obvious quarterback uncertainty. Metcalf has the look of a fringe WR2 who will be more appealing if Aaron Rodgers joins the team."

"Metcalf officially will have his trade request granted, heading to Pittsburgh after six seasons with the Seahawks. The wide receiver is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he caught 66 of 108 targets for 992 yards and five touchdowns over 15 regular-season contests with Seattle. The 27-year-old now will be under contract through the 2030 season, earning the largest contract for a non-quarterback in Pittsburgh's franchise history. As it sits right now, the Steelers do not have any quarterbacks under contract for the 2025 season, but it's possible that Metcalf reunites with his former teammate Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh."

	DK Metcalf's target share has decreased by 38.95% over the past 8 weeks.
	DK Metcalf's targets have decreased by 37.93% over the past 8 weeks.
	DK Metcalf's receiving yards have decreased by 41.87% over the past 14 weeks.
	DK Metcalf's receptions have decreased by 36.84% over the past 8 weeks.
	DK Metcalf's receiving touchdowns have increased by 100% over the past 6 weeks.
