3. Marquez Valdes-Scantling

The lone offensive player on this list, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been a roller coaster through the first half of this season. In a perfect microcosm of who he is a player, he dropped a wide-open crosser on Thursday night that would’ve given Green Bay a first down. Instead, they had to punt. He redeemed himself later by catching two touchdown passes including one bomb where he flashed his great speed.

He’s only caught 18 of his 37 targets including five drops. Because of that, his PFF grade ranks 115th out of 120 wide receivers. Not great, Bob. The Packers tried hard to add a receiver at the trade deadline due to the underwhelming performance of Valdes-Scantling. The potential is there for him to be a regular contributor, he just needs to figure out how to put it all together.
