7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 5

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, Green Bay Packers

Yahoo! Ownership: 5%

The Green Bay Packers wide receiver corps is a mess right now. The top three wideouts (Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, and Geronimo Allison) are all banged up and could miss Sunday's game with the Detroit Lions. The next man up for the Packers is rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

The fifth-round pick out of South Florida already was working as the third wideout in Week 4's win over Buffalo (playing 71.1% of the snaps) but is in line for much more work in Week 5. He snagged one of his three targets for 38 yards on Sunday, but with Allison still in concussion protocol and Cobb still not practicing, Valdez-Scantling will be at worst the WR2 for the Packers.

With Adams suffering a mid-week practice injury, never a good sign, the rookie could be the number one wideout in an Aaron Rodgers-led offense, something you can not pass up, even as the matchup is not the best. The Lions allow less than 175 passing yards per game -- but with a top-eight implied total (26.25), Valdez-Scantling has a good shot of finding paydirt in Week 5.
