At 31 and in his ninth season, Valdes-Scantling isn't the field-stretching burner he was in Kansas City when he won two Super Bowls, but he gives the Chargers a veteran who has played in winning offenses and knows how to run a vertical route tree. He joined the roster in September 2026 after Los Angeles' receiver corps took injury hits.
Strengths: Proven deep-ball track record and championship experience that brings professionalism to a patchwork receiver room.
Weaknesses: At this stage of his career he's inconsistent as a route runner and has bounced between four teams over the last two seasons.
