Marquez Valdes-Scantling

The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia reports Marquez Valdes-Scantling “has faded into the background” during training camp.

Buscaglia said Valdes-Scantling, who signed with Buffalo in May, is not working among the team’s top-five receivers in camp. It could be a message being sent to the veteran, or it could be a sign MVS, 29, is on the roster bubble. Chase Claypool has worked with Josh Allen’s first-team offense more than Valdes-Scantling, according to Buscaglia. MVS, who averaged a meager 3.5 targets per game over 33 games with the Chiefs, would probably need at least a couple injuries to Bills wideouts if he’s to crack the team’s starting lineup in 2024.
