  • Next Gen Stats

    Stefon Diggs has gained over 400 yards when aligned in the slot (429) and out wide (531) this season, making him one of four receivers to have accomplished this feat along with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Puka Nacua, and Zay Flowers.

  • Released by Patriots

    The Patriots officially released Diggs on Wednesday.

    Analysis: On the heels of recording a 85-1,013-4 receiving line (on 102 targets) in 17 regular-season games during his lone campaign with the Patriots, the team -- as previously reported -- elected to part ways with Diggs for salary cap reasons. Since then, Romeo Doubs has been added by New England, while Diggs is now free to sign elsewhere. In the right spot, Diggs should have an opportunity to yield solid fantasy production in 2026, but it remains to be seen what the market will be for the 32-year-old…read more

  • Set to be released

    The Patriots informed Diggs on Wednesday that he will be released after the start of the new league year March 11, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Diggs rebounded well from an ACL tear that cut his 2024 campaign with Houston short, playing all 17 regular-season games for New England and totaling an 85-1,013-4 receiving line (102 targets) as the No. 1 receiver for Drake Maye in 2025. Per Pelissero, the transaction will allow the Patriots to avoid paying Diggs the $6 million option in his contract that would have become fully guaranteed next Friday, March 13. Now entering his age-33 season, Diggs will need to search for a new landing spot,…read more

  • Pleads not guilty

    Diggs pleaded not guilty Friday to criminal charges stemming from an alleged dispute Dec. 2 with his personal chef, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Diggs' attorney said the wide receiver "categorically denies" the allegations, which include a charge of felony strangulation. Diggs' arraignment was postponed until after the Super Bowl to allow him to play in the game. Following his Friday arraignment, Diggs is next scheduled to appear April 1 for a pretrial hearing.

  • Held to three catches in Super Bowl

    Diggs recorded three catches (on three targets) for 37 yards in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.

    Analysis: The Patriots couldn't sustain offense for the majority of the game and were playing with desperation by the time they were able to move the ball down the field late in the fourth quarter. That led to a very quiet game for Diggs, particularly considering that 26 of his 37 yards came on a reception with 2:58 remaining in the fourth quarter and with the Patriots down three scores. Though Diggs failed to surpass 40 receiving yards in any of New England's postseason games, he still managed 1,013…read more

  • Five catches in AFC Championship

    Diggs recorded five receptions on six targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Diggs was the only Patriots' pass catcher to record more than two receptions, though he was outpaced in yardage by Mack Hollins. As his stat line implies, Diggs was used only in short areas of the field, with his longest reception going for just six yards. While he retains a key role in the offense, Kayshon Boutte and Hollins have posted better fantasy performances in New England's last two games. Nevertheless, Diggs will be crucial for the team's chances of winning the Super Bowl in two weeks.

  • Revenge TD on Sunday

    Diggs caught four of six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.

    Analysis: Facing the team he played for in 2024, Diggs connected with Drake Maye on a seven-yard TD in the second quarter to give New England a 21-10 lead. The veteran wideout hasn't seen big volume through the Patriots' first two playoff contests, but he's turned 11 targets into a 6-56-1 line. Diggs will look to make an impact again next weekend in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

  • Two catches in wild-card win

    Diggs caught two of five targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Diggs tied Hunter Henry for the team lead in targets, but the former didn't make much of an impact in Sunday night's defensive battle, which had three times as many combined turnovers as touchdowns. New England will have another home game in the AFC divisional round, hosting either the leaky Steelers secondary or the stout Texans secondary. Diggs has been hit-or-miss in his postseason career, with 35 or fewer receiving yards in six of 15 such games and more than 100 yards in four playoff games.

  • Goes for 43 yards in easy win

    Diggs caught all three of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Diggs finished second on the team in receiving yards Sunday, trailing only Hunter Henry, who secured all five of his targets for 56 yards. Diggs wraps up the regular season having appeared in all 17 games while securing 85 of 102 targets for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. New England will host the Chargers for a wild-card playoff matchup next weekend in what will be a difficult-on-paper spot for Diggs.

  • Limited Friday, no Week 18 designation

    Diggs (non injury-related/rest) was limited at practice Friday, but he doesn't carry a designation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the league is reviewing an alleged Dec. 2 incident that led to Diggs facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault. According to Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com, while the matter is under review as a potential violation of the league's personal conduct policy, the wideout is eligible to play, though it's possible Diggs' status could change as the legal process unfolds.

    An alleged Dec. 2 incident that has led to Diggs facing charges is under review of the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Reiss notes that Diggs is facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault stemming from the alleged incident. According to a statement from the league, Diggs is eligible to play at this time, but he could be considered for placement on the Commissioner Exempt List "following formal charges in the form of an indictment by a grand jury, the filing of charges by a prosecutor, or an arraignment in a criminal court."

  • Facing multiple criminal charges

    Diggs' attorneys appeared in court on his behalf Tuesday in Dedham, Mass. after the receiver was charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery stemming from an alleged incident that occurred Dec. 2, Frank O'Laughlin of Boston 25 News reports.

    Analysis: Diggs was never arrested in connection with the incident, which took place one day after the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants in Week 13. His attorneys are seeking to have the police report impounded, arguing that details about the case should remain sealed. Diggs is scheduled to be arraigned Jan. 23, but the Patriots haven't yet provided comment on the matter nor indicated whether the wideout's availability for Week 18 against the Dolphins or the team's ensuing postseason run is in any…read more

  • Tops 100 yards in Week 17 win

    Diggs caught all six of his targets 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Diggs did all his damage in the first half, working as the clear No. 1 option in a receiving corps depleted by the absences of Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and Mack Hollins (abdomen, IR). The 32-year-old Diggs has exceeded 100 receiving yards in consecutive games for the second time this season and has cracked the century mark five times as a member of the Patriots. He's 14 months removed from tearing the ACL in his right knee. New England needs a Week 18 win over the Dolphins and a Broncos loss…read more

  • Explodes for 138 yards on SNF

    Diggs recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 138 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Diggs ended his recent dry spell with his fourth 100-plus yard game of the season. The veteran receiver nearly doubled his entire production (72 yards, zero TDs) from his last three contests combined with Sunday's monster output. Diggs upped his season receiving line to 76-869-3, putting him in a realistic position to record his first 1,000-yard season since he was a member of the Bills in 2023. The wideout's next opportunity to work on that achievement will come in a road tilt against the Jets…read more

  • Modest showing against former team

    Diggs caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Diggs set season highs with 10 catches for 146 yards in his Week 5 return to Buffalo, but he couldn't muster much in the rematch 10 weeks later. He has faded down the stretch with 26 or fewer receiving yards in each of the past three games. The Patriots have relied primarily on the running game with the weather getting colder, and that game plan may not change in Week 16 at Baltimore.

  • Remains quiet in Week 13 win

    Diggs secured three of four targets for 26 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Analysis: Despite Drake Maye throwing for 282 yards on 24 completions, Diggs was once again a minor player in the air attack. The veteran wideout has 46 yards or fewer in five of his last six games, including back-to-back sub-30-yard tallies. Nevertheless, Diggs has the ability to resurface in a passing game that spreads the wealth around to different targets on a weekly basis, and such an instance could come in a Week 15 matchup against his old Bills teammates on Sunday, Dec. 14 following a Week 14 bye.

  • Just two grabs in Week 12 win

    Diggs caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Quarterback Drake Maye focused most of his attention on veteran tight end Hunter Henry, who erupted for a 7-115-1 line on 10 targets, while Diggs' two catches actually tied for the team lead among Patriots' wideouts. The three targets also tied for his season low, but Diggs has still caught multiple passes in every game this season, en route a 61-679-3 line on 75 targets through 12 contests. He'll look to bounce back in Week 13 against the Giants.

  • Eclipses century mark in win

    Diggs secured nine of 11 targets for 105 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Diggs led the Patriots across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, posting his third 100-yard game of a resurgent season in the process. The veteran wideout recorded a pair of catches of 20-plus yards as well, and his reception tally was his second highest of the campaign. Diggs seemed to benefit from the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) on Thursday, but the former's target volume could take at least a slight hit if the latter is able to return for a favorable…read more

  • Key TD grab in win

    Diggs brought in five of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was a prototypical stat line for Diggs, who did a lot of the dirty work in the short and medium passing windows as customary. The veteran wideout also recorded a touchdown for a third consecutive game on the final play of the first half, recording a nifty one-yard scoring grab in close quarters. Diggs' yardage total was also his second highest of the last five games, and he should continue filling a key role in Thursday night's divisional battle versus the Jets.

  • Scores TD in Week 9 win

    Diggs caught three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Diggs scored an 11-yard touchdown in the second quarter on a diving effort to the pylon, but that was his only catch of the first half, during which fellow wide receiver Kayshon Boutte exited due to a hamstring injury. Despite Diggs' modest involvement, the veteran wide receiver finished third on the team in receiving yards behind DeMario Douglas (100) and Hunter Henry (51). After opening the season with a seven-game touchdown drought, Diggs will take a two-game scoring streak into a Week 10…read more

  • Upgrades to full Thursday

    Analysis: Diggs was listed as limited Wednesday but eased any concerns about his status for his availability Sunday against the Falcons by practicing without restrictions Thursday. Diggs scored his first touchdown as a member of the Patriots in the team's Week 8 win over the Browns.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Diggs (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Diggs, who has suited up for all eight of the Patriots' regular-season games thus far, had been managing a chest issue, but now the wideout is listed as having been limited Wednesday by an ankle injury. So far there's nothing to suggest that Diggs -- who leads the team with 42 catches -- is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Falcons, but his status is worth monitoring and confirming later this week, nonetheless.

  • Ends TD drought

    Diggs caught three of five targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Drake Maye didn't need to air it out too much, but the second-year quarterback still tossed three TDs in the third quarter to ice the game, with Diggs catching a one-yard score as part of the barrage. It was the veteran wideout's first touchdown of the season, a welcome sight for fantasy investors even if it came along with a season-low yardage total. Diggs will take a 42-470-1 line on 49 targets through eight games into a Week 9 clash with the Falcons.

    Diggs (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing fully Friday.

    Analysis: Diggs was limited Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a chest issue, but the wideout's full participation in Friday's session clears the way for him to maintain his key pass-catching role in New England's offense. Through seven games thus far this season, Diggs leads his team in targets (44), catches (39) and receiving yards (456), a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar Week 8.

    Analysis: Diggs, who approached Week 7 action with a 'questionable' designation, ended up being on the field for 54 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense in the team's 31-13 win over the Titans this past Sunday, a game in which the veteran wideout hauled in all seven of his targets for 69 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, chances are Diggs' listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

    Diggs recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Diggs had almost all of his production in the third quarter, tallying three receptions for 49 yards. That was enough for him to lead the team in all receiving stats, with his only shortcoming being his inability to reach the end zone. While it has taken Diggs some time to settle into the New England offense, he now has at least six catches in three of his last four games while posting 344 receiving yards in that span.

Diggs has a respectable 32 catches for 387 yards on 37 targets through six games, but he's still looking for his first TD of 2025. Diggs will try to hit paydirt in Week 7 against the Titans.

    Analysis: Drake Maye threw for a relatively modest 203 yards on the afternoon in the easy victory, but Diggs accounted for about half of that in his best game yet as a Patriot. The veteran wideout led New England's pass catchers across the board, including a team-best 33-yard reception, and the performance could serve as a launchpad for Diggs ahead of a marquee Week 5 divisional showdown against his old Bills teammates next Sunday night.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout continues to have a quiet start to his Patriots tenure. Diggs has yet to reach 60 receiving yards in a game or score a touchdown through three weeks, and Sunday's three targets represented his lowest volume yet. The 31-year-old simply may not be the same player he was prior to the ACL injury that cut short his 2024 campaign with the Texans, but Diggs will look to continue building chemistry with Drake Maye in Week 4 against the Panthers.

Drake Maye spread the ball out to nine different receivers, and New England's pair of touchdowns through the air went to Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte.

    Diggs (knee) didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.

    Analysis: Diggs, who continues to bounce back from a torn ACL that he suffered last October, has been a regular practice participant since avoiding the active/PUP list to begin training camp, but the veteran wideout didn't see any action in either of the Patriots' three exhibition contests this month. While the signs continue to point toward Diggs being able to make a mark early on this season, until or unless the team confirms his Week 1 availability, his status will be worth monitoring ahead of New…read more

  • Ahead of schedule in recovery

    Patriots EVP of player personnel Eliot Wolf said Monday that Diggs (knee) is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from a torn ACL, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Diggs has been a consistent participant in practice throughout training camp, but the Patriots haven't allowed him to suit up for either of the team's first two preseason games. However, everything out of New England this summer has been positive regarding Diggs' recovery from the knee injury he sustained in Week 8 last season. He avoided the active/PUP list to begin camp, and there's been no indication thus far that Diggs won't be available for Week 1 against the Raiders in a little less than…read more

    Analysis: Diggs also sat out the Patriots' preseason opener against the Commanders, which means that Aug. 21 against the Giants will be the wideout's last chance to log game reps ahead of the regular season. Diggs, who is bouncing back from a torn ACL that he suffered last October, avoided the PUP list to begin training camp and has "been out here almost every day," coach Mike Vrabel noted Thursday. However, unless Diggs sees action versus New York next week, or the Patriots elect to confirm his…read more

  • DNP was coach's decision

    On Monday, coach Mike Vrabel didn't offer any specifics on why Diggs (knee) sat out Friday's preseason opener against the Commanders, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: In a game in which the Patriots played the bulk of their healthy starters, Diggs was present on the sideline but didn't suit up during warmups or on the bench. When asked if Diggs' inactivity Friday was health-related, Vrabel limited his response to "coach's decision." The veteran wideout, who is bouncing back from a torn ACL that he suffered last October, has been a full practice participant for most of the summer, though he did miss the first half of Wednesday's joint practice with Washington…read more

    Diggs (knee) wasn't spotted in uniform during warmups ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Commanders, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald and Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site report.

    Analysis: The same applies to fellow WR Kendrick Bourne, who is managing a lower leg injury. While Diggs has reportedly looked sharp in training camp practices, he is bouncing back from an ACL tear he suffered Week 8 of last season, so it's not surprising that the Patriots are erring on the side of caution here. The veteran wideout's next chance to see game action will arrive Aug. 16 against the Vikings.

    Through the Patriots' first eight practices in training camp, Evan Lazar of the team's official site notes that Diggs (knee) "is a cut above at the receiver position due to his separation quickness, efficient movements and ability to win at the catch point with magnet hands."

    Analysis: Diggs is bouncing back from an ACL tear he suffered Week 8 of last season, but with no reported limitations in training camp and plenty of positive reviews on his on-field performance, the arrow is pointing up with regard to his chances of making an impact out of the gate this season. It remains to be seen what the team's plans are for the wideout in terms of his participation (or lack thereof) during the Patriots' upcoming preseason slate, but if Diggs is cleared for game action in that span,…read more

But I would say that I think it's just a testament to how hard he worked," while adding that the wideout's progress will be monitored throughout training camp.

    Diggs (knee) had the first catch of training camp from QB Drake Maye on Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen if Diggs will have limitations once the Patriots ramp up the intensity of practices and do contact work. For now, he seems to be ahead of the typical timeline for his injury, avoiding the PUP list at the start of training camp less than nine months after suffering an ACL tear. Diggs' participation in the first camp practice puts him on track to play Week 1 for his new team.

    Analysis: Coming back from an ACL tear suffered in Week 8 of last season, Diggs wasn't added to New England's PUP list ahead of camp. He was a limited participant in spring practices and may also have some limitations for the start of camp, but it's still a good sign that the team thinks he's ready to practice so soon. Diggs signed a three-year, $69 million contract in March, with just $16.6 million guaranteed at signing and minimal commitment beyond 2025.

    Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site relays via Adam Schefter of ESPN that there's reportedly optimism Diggs, who is bouncing back from a torn right ACL in his right knee that he suffered Oct. 27, could be ready for Week 1 of the coming season.

    Analysis: Given the timing of his injury, Diggs being available for the Patriots' regular-season opener is far from a lock, but Mike Reiss of ESPN recently noted that league sources described the wideout as ahead of schedule in his recovery and already running at full speed while in the process of gaining increased comfort in terms of cutting and changing direction.

    Analysis: The wide receiver caught 47 of 64 targets for 496 yards and three touchdowns, while also adding eight yards and a score on the ground, over eight regular-season games with Houston in 2024 before suffering a season-ending ACL tear in Week 8 against the Colts. Once he moves past the injury, Diggs will have a clear path to heavy target volume as the top option for Drake Maye in the Patriots' passing game.

  • May move on to greener pastures

    Texans GM Nick Caserio suggested he's open to re-signing Diggs (knee), but Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle thinks it's unlikely to happen unless the wideout accepts less money than he could get from other teams.

    Analysis: Be it in Houston or elsewhere, there's no question Diggs will have to settle for less than he's accustomed to earning, as he's 31 years old and suffered an ACL tear in late October. He's set to become a free agent while still rehabbing the knee injury, with no assurance of being ready for Week 1 of 2025. The Texans figure to be in the market for high-end WR talent even if they ultimately re-sign Diggs, having lost Tank Dell to a multi-ligament knee tear in late December.

The Texans will look to get by with Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie at wide receiver in their Week 9 matchup with the Jets on Thursday, but Nico Collins (hamstring) could come off IR in Week 10 and offset the loss of Diggs.

    Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced Tuesday that Diggs suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts and will miss the rest of the season, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Diggs suffered the non-contact right knee injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's win, and after he was sent in for an MRI on Monday, the Texans confirmed that he suffered structural damage to his knee. Both the nature and timing of the injury are brutal developments for Diggs, who was playing out the 2024 campaign on a one-year, $22.52 million restructured "prove-it" contract with the Texans.

The Texans now have a quick Week 9 turnaround with a Thursday night game against the Jets up next. Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) isn't eligible to return until Week 10, so the Texans could be down to Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie and Robert Woods at wide receiver versus New York.

    Analysis: Diggs' knee injury could have a wide range of recovery timelines, but the non-contact nature of the injury points to the possibility of the wideout having sustained a torn ACL, which would be season-ending. An update on Diggs' status should surface in the coming days as additional tests are performed on the injury.

    Analysis: Diggs had just three receiving yards in the first half and was only marginally better in the second half as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in the game. The veteran wide receiver's modest contributions included a two-yard catch on third-and-1 to extend a fourth-quarter drive that culminated in Ka'imi Fairbairn's go-ahead 35-yard field goal with 1:44 remaining, but the Packers responded with a game-winning Brandon McManus field goal as time expired to drop the Texans to 5-2.

    Analysis: Diggs caught a 10-yard touchdown in the third quarter for his fourth overall score through six games with the Texans. His usage wasn't markedly different in the first of at least four games Nico Collins (hamstring) will spend on injured reserve, as Tank Dell (57 yards and a touchdown on nine targets) was the biggest beneficiary of Collins' absence. Diggs has at least six targets in every game this season, and he's likely to reach that threshold again in a Week 7 road game against the Packers.

While Diggs' focus on shorter routes will make it tough to replicate Collins' exceptional production, the veteran wide receiver's fantasy stock should nonetheless rise from this development.

While Diggs lacks Collins' downfield explosiveness at this stage of his career, the former Buffalo wide receiver's precise route running and strong hands have helped Diggs rack up 31 catches on 41 targets through five games with Houston, and Diggs could be in line for additional targets from C.J.

Diggs has been a distant second to Nico Collins so far in terms of target volume, but he's still been productive to begin his first season with Houston, scoring three total touchdowns in four games while adding a 25-233 receiving line on 33 targets.

The receptions and targets equaled his totals from the first two games of the season combined, an encouraging sign after Nico Collins dominated C.J. Stroud's attention early.

He papered over a 33-yard Texans debut with two touchdown catches, but Diggs barely raised his yardage total in Week 2 while failing to score. Diggs is clearly behind Nico Collins (252 receiving yards through two games) in the wide receiver pecking order heading into a Week 3 road game in Minnesota, where Diggs began his career from 2015 to 2019.

Houston played both series in 12 personnel, with Diggs and Nico Collins being the two starting wideouts, and that appears as though it might be the team's base package during the regular season.

Neither Diggs nor Nico Collins were targeted in this game, while QB C.J. Stroud linked up with Tank Dell for a 34-yard touchdown.

However, it looks like Diggs may see some snaps versus Pittsburgh after all, and if that's the case, he'll have an opportunity to catch passes from starting QB C.J.

    Diggs finished with three receptions on eight targets for 21 yards and added one carry for seven yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

The veteran starter's eight targets trailed only fellow wideout Khalil Shakir (7-44-1), who finished Sunday's loss with nine.

    Analysis: Diggs finished Sunday's division-clinching victory with his most yards and receptions in a single game since Weeks 6 and 8, respectively. The vocal superstar didn't sniff the 6/120/3 line he posted when these teams first met in Week 4, but this was still a significant improvement over what we had seen from Diggs over his last four games when he averaged a measly 31.8 yards per game with no trips to the end zone. Perhaps this was the kickstart the 29-year-old needed ahead of next Sunday's…read more

  • Four catches in Sunday's win

    Diggs caught four of seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots. He added five rushing yards on one carry.

    Analysis: The wideout tied Dalton Kincaid for the team lead in targets and catches, but it was the rookie tight end who paced the Bills in receiving yards. Diggs has all but vanished since Buffalo's Week 13 bye, managing just a 17-127-0 line on 31 targets over the last four games, but Sunday's carry -- his first of the season -- at least offers some faint hope that the coaching staff is trying to find ways to get the ball in his hands. Diggs will get one more chance to break out of his slump in Week 18…read more

  • Lackluster production continues

    Diggs recorded five catches on eight targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 24-22 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Diggs led the team with eight targets, and he's now reached that mark four times in his last five games. However, in that same span, he's topped 50 yards only once and has not reached 100 yards since Week 6. Diggs' downturn in production is alarming and without clear explanation, though the Bills have hit their stride offensively in the last few weeks, providing hope that Diggs can turn things around before the regular season comes to a close.

  • Sixth straight 1,000-yard season

    Diggs caught four of five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Diggs accounted for four of Josh Allen's seven completions as the Bills overwhelmed Dallas with 266 yards and three touchdowns on the ground while leaving the passing game on the backburner. The star receiver tied his season low in targets, so his modest production in this game can be attributed to a lack of volume, but it continued an alarming trend, as Diggs finished with fewer than 50 receiving yards and no touchdowns for the fourth time in the past five games. Despite the recent slump,…read more

  • Quiet in Week 14 win

    Diggs caught four of 11 targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.

    Analysis: Despite leading the Bills in targets, Diggs didn't make much of an impact as he failed to reach 40 receiving yards for the third time in the last four games. The veteran wideout remains just seven yards short of his sixth straight 1,000-yard season heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cowboys.

  • Finds end zone in Philly

    Diggs caught six of 11 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: After two disappointing performances against tough secondaries in the Jets and Broncos, Diggs bounced back and saw his first double-digit target volume since Week 8, although it took Josh Allen throwing a season-high 51 passes to do it. The veteran wideout will head into Buffalo's bye on the cusp of his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign, fourth straight season with 100-plus catches and third straight year with 10 or more TDs, having posted an 83-969-8 line on 121 targets through 12 games.

  • Disappointing numbers Sunday

    Diggs caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The eight targets actually led the Bills, but they didn't turn into much production. Diggs has been quiet to begin the second half of the season, catching only seven of 13 targets for 61 yards and zero TDs over the last two games, but he could break out in Week 12 against an Eagles secondary that's been one of the most generous in the league this season against wideouts.

  • Shut down by Broncos in loss

    Diggs secured three of five targets for 34 yards in the Bills' 24-22 loss to the Broncos on Monday.

    Analysis: Diggs was second in receptions and targets and third in receiving yards for the Bills on the night, an unfamiliar position for the typically prolific wideout. The three figures were also season lows for Diggs, who'd been on an upward trajectory yardage-wise heading into the contest with 70- and 86-yard tallies in Weeks 9 and 10. Diggs will aim to bounce back in a Week 11 rematch against a Jets team that he posted a 10-102-1 line on in a Week 1 overtime loss.

  • No injury designation for Monday

    Diggs (back) wasn't listed on the team's final Week 10 injury report Saturday and is cleared for Monday's contest against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Diggs was added to Friday's injury report with a back injury, but fantasy managers can breathe easier now that the star wideout doesn't carry a designation into Monday's contest. For what it's worth, Diggs was listed as a limited participant in practice for a second consecutive day, so while he'll play, the 29-year-old receiver does appear to be dealing with a legitimate injury. Diggs seemed to dismiss the idea that his injury was anything serious, however, per joe Buscaglia of The Athletic.…read more

  • Gets into end zone in loss

    Diggs brought in six of seven targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 24-18 loss to the Bengals on Sunday night. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

    Analysis: Diggs led the team in receiving yards and also gave the Bills a glimmer of hope with a 17-yard touchdown grab with 3:32 remaining and subsequent two-point conversion catch. The perennial Pro Bowler has a solid 21-214-2 line on 31 targets in the three contests since his four-game streak of 100-yard efforts was snapped, and he'll draw a potentially favorable matchup against the Broncos in a Week 10 Monday night home battle on Nov. 13.

The star wideout wasn't able to get into the end zone for only the second time in five games, but his catch total was his second highest of the campaign.

It was Diggs' sixth touchdown of 2023, putting him on pace for a third consecutive season with double-digit touchdowns.

The 29-year-old has generated 620 yards through six weeks, which is good enough to land him among the top five in receiving yards leaguewide.

    Analysis: The Buffalo offense stayed on the plane for most of the first half of the game in London, but Diggs got into the end zone late in the second quarter to get his squad on the board, then was Josh Allen's favorite target after halftime as the Bills tried to mount a comeback. Diggs has topped 100 receiving yards in four of five games to begin the season while scoring five TDs, and he doesn't figure to slow down in Week 6 against the struggling Giants.

Diggs added a 13-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter for good measure, making it his first game with three visits to the end zone since Week 2 against the Titans last season. Diggs has three 100-yard efforts in the first four games of the campaign, and he now takes his act across the Atlantic for a Week 5 date in London against a tough Jaguars defense.

    Diggs recorded seven catches on seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Diggs was extremely efficient in turning his targets into receptions, but there wasn't much production to follow. His longest gain of the day went for 17 yards, but three of his catches went for under 10 yards. After commanding 13 targets in Week 1, Josh Allen also distributed the ball around to more pass catchers, another contributing factor to the relative down performance. Even so, this game illustrates Diggs' extremely high floor for fantasy purposes.

  • In line to play Saturday

    Coach Sean McDermott relayed Thursday that the Bills' starters will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears. In last weekend's exhibition loss to the Steelers, Diggs logged 13 snaps en route to recording two catches (on five targets) for 22 yards.

    Analysis: Though Buffalo's starters are on track to see action versus Chicago, chances are Diggs and company won't see extensive action Saturday. Once the wideout gets his reps in, his focus will shift to preparing for the team's regular-season opener against the Jets. As the coming campaign approaches, Diggs remains entrenched as the Bills' No. 1 option in a WR corps that also features Gabe Davis, with Khalil Shakir, Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty also in the mix.

    Analysis: Per the report, QB Josh Allen will also face the Steelers after sitting out versus Indianapolis last Saturday.

His biggest gain of the day came on a 20-yard catch early in the second quarter, but he was otherwise limited to short areas of the field. Diggs will remain the most consistent part of the Buffalo offense, which gives him a safe floor of production, but he has failed to reach 100 receiving yards in each of his last five games, and he's also reached 90 yards just once in that span.

  • Makes 12 catches in Week 10

    Diggs caught 12 of 16 targets for 128 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: While Diggs' longest catch went for only 25 yards, he consistently got open on short and intermediate routes to help the Bills march down the field. Buffalo led 27-10 in the third quarter before momentum swung Minnesota's way, but Diggs still crossed the 100-yard threshold for the sixth time in nine games. It wouldn't be surprising to see a similar performance from Josh Allen's favorite target at home against Cleveland in Week 11.

  • Seven yards short of 100 in loss

    Diggs caught five of 10 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Diggs immediately introduced himself to rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner by running by him for a 42-yard gain on Buffalo's first offensive play. He spent most of the game matched up on D.J. Reed on the opposite side, though, and Reed did a decent job defending Diggs, highlighted by a key pass breakup with the game tied 17-17 in the fourth quarter. Diggs came seven yards short of extending his triple-digit receiving yardage streak to four games, but he'll remain a set-and-forget option at wide…read more

  • Excels in tough matchup

    Diggs corralled six of eight targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: The matchup between Diggs and Jaire Alexander was highlighted prior to Sunday night's tilt, and the billing lived up to the hype after the two star players were locked in a heated verbal and physical battle from start to finish. Diggs got the last laugh after producing his third straight 100-plus yard performance with a touchdown in a victory for his squad. The 28-year-old now boasts a massive 55/764/7 line through seven games. Diggs is as good as WR1s come heading into a matchup against the…read more

  • May face worthy adversary

    Diggs will likely see some of his coverage against Green Bay's Jaire Alexander on Sunday night, Grace Heidinger of the Bills' official site reports. Said the receiver: "He's definitely a competitor, he's a guy that competes at a high level, he finishes play, he's fast," Diggs said on Alexander. "So going against corners, I see the best corner every week."

    Analysis: Alexander usually goes up against the opponent's best receiver, something everyone is expecting when the Bills meet the Packers in Week 8. While the matchup with the reeling Packers looks juicy for Diggs managers, this is something to keep in mind. Also, as much as Green Bay is struggling, the pass defense is ranked first in the NFL, while the run defense has getting gouged on a regular basis and ranks 27th. Diggs is nearly impossible to keep down, but we also wouldn't be surprised if this…read more

  • Comes up big against KC

    Diggs caught 10 of 13 targets for 148 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over Kansas City.

    Analysis: For the second straight game and the fourth time this season, Diggs piled up more than 100 receiving yards and a touchdown, with his 17-yard TD grab midway through the third quarter Sunday giving the Bills a 17-10 lead. The 28-year-old will head into Buffalo's Week 7 bye as one of only four wideouts in the league with more than 600 receiving yards through six games alongside Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill and Cooper Kupp.

    Analysis: Diggs comfortably paced the Bills in receptions and targets while checking in second to Gabe Davis in receiving yards. The All-Pro wideout also recorded his first touchdown grab since Week 2 on a 15-yard scoring connection with Josh Allen in the second quarter, and the 100-yard tally was his third of the season overall. Diggs will carry an elite 39-508-5 line into a Week 6 road showdown against the Chiefs.

    Diggs secured four of six targets for 62 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Diggs turned in a relatively quiet performance by his lofty standards, even though his reception, yardage and target totals all paced or co-led the Bills on the afternoon. The Ravens did a solid job containing Buffalo's normally potent air attack overall, so the lack of prolific numbers for Diggs wasn't exactly surprising.

    Diggs isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Baltimore.

    Analysis: Diggs' absence from the report confirms he was dealing with cramps rather than an injury when he missed some snaps in the second half of Sunday's loss in Miami. He finished the game with seven catches for 74 yards on 11 targets and 70 percent of snaps after piling up 270 yards and four touchdowns the first two weeks of the season. The Bills have taken Diggs off the field a decent amount this season, but mostly on run plays.

    Diggs secured seven of 11 targets for 74 yards in the Bills' 21-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, the star receiver exited the game late with what appeared to be cramping and was seen laying on the sideline.

    Analysis: Diggs turned in his usual impressive statistical effort in the hotly contested divisional battle, but he simply appeared to run out of gas in the humid South Florida climate at a critical juncture in the game. Before exiting, Diggs was typically productive and led the Bills wideouts in targets while tying for second in receptions with Isaiah McKenzie. Assuming he's back to health, Diggs should be a full go for a road showdown with the Ravens in Week 4.

In the third, he got behind the Titans secondary for a 46-yard touchdown, then kept his concentration to secure a bobbling catch for a 14-yard touchdown.

    Analysis: Diggs' near-perfect opening night was punctuated by a 53-yard touchdown grab down the right side of the field in the fourth quarter that served as the final score of the night. Diggs flew by Jalen Ramsey on a play where the star cornerback appeared to be expecting deep help, a microcosm of a night where almost everything went right for Buffalo.

    Coach Sean McDermott relayed Wednesday that QB Josh Allen, along with many of the Bills' key starters, a group that presumably includes Diggs, won't suit up for Friday's preseason finale against the Panthers,Alec White of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: As Week 1 approaches, Diggs and Gabriel Davis clearly top the Bills' wideout depth chart, so the coaching staff's focus Friday (in terms of the position) figures to be evaluating the team's complementary options ahead of looming roster cuts. Once the regular season commences, Diggs' high-volume role in an Allen-helmed offense will continue to yield high level fantasy dividends.

    Diggs caught two receptions for 33 yards on two targets in Buffalo's preseason game against Denver on Saturday.

    Analysis: It was a breezy tuneup game for the Bills offense, and Diggs was unsurprisingly among those who produced in his brief showing. Even with the seeming emergence of teammate Gabriel Davis (two catches for 47 yards and one touchdown on three targets), Diggs is clearly poised to produce as one of the top fantasy receivers again in 2022.

Diggs still managed to make an impact by giving the Bills a three-point lead with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter by catching a two-point conversion in the back of the end zone.

    Analysis: The odds on Diggs not being on the receiving end of at least one score on a night when Josh Allen tossed five touchdowns were probably remote, but that's exactly what transpired in the blowout victory. The multi-time Pro Bowler did check in tied for second in receptions and as the runner-up in receiving yards behind Dawson Knox, but the fact Allen spread the wealth around and Buffalo also wasn't forced to pass much in the second half capped Diggs' fantasy contributions overall.

The 28-year-old has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in five of the last six games, but he did see a two-game touchdown streak snapped Sunday. He'll have one more chance to tune up for the postseason in Week 18 against a Jets defense that he posted a season-best 162-yard effort on back in Week 10.

He did well to get his feet down along the sideline to secure a six-yard touchdown in the first quarter and added a nine-yard score in the fourth, but it was all Colts in between.

The Bills relied primarily on the ground game in the blowout win, but Diggs remains the team's clear top option in the passing game.

McDermott hasn't made a decision on whether Josh Allen will be allowed to play in the Bills' exhibition capper Saturday against the Packers, but it could be tied to Diggs' own availability.

  • Misses practice

    Diggs missed Monday's practice with a knee injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's the first report of any injury for Diggs this summer, though he did reveal in May that he played through a torn oblique in the playoffs last season. He had 311 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the three playoff games, and prior to Monday's absence he appeared to be enjoying a healthy training camp.

  • Played through torn oblique

    Diggs shared via his personal Twitter account Thursday that he played through a torn oblique in the playoffs last season.

    Analysis: Despite the injury, Diggs put up 311 receiving yards and two touchdowns in three playoff games, though he was held to 77 yards in the AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs. He was limited in practice with the oblique injury throughout the postseason, but the severity of the injury was greater than Diggs let on at the time. Considering he was playing through the injury back in January, Diggs should be healthy heading into the 2021 season.

  • Modest output in final game of 2020

    Diggs had six receptions (11 targets) for 77 yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Josh Allen and the Bills' offensive line struggled against Kansas City's defense, resulting in modest outputs for the skill position players, Diggs included. In fact, the 26-year-old's final line was bolstered by an acrobatic big play that was made in garbage time. Despite a bitter finish, Diggs produced career highs in receptions (127), yards (1,535) and targets (166) while scoring eight times across 16 regular-season games. It is a rare occurrence to claim that a receiver that is as highly…read more

The first-time Pro Bowl receiver got the festivities started immediately with a 13-yard catch on the Bills' opening play from scrimmage, and he proceeded to establish four receptions for 59 yards in the first half.

    Analysis: Diggs showed no signs of the oblique injury that had him listed as questionable coming into the game, leading all receivers from either side in yards, including a 35-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter. The league's regular season receiving leader carried his momentum over into the postseason, and Diggs should continue to serve as the focal point of Buffalo's pass-heavy offense in the AFC divisional round next week.

    Analysis: Given that the Bills have not sounded overly concerned about the injury and Diggs was out there practicing to some degree Thursday, we feel pretty good about the star receiver's status for Saturday. Overly cautious managers will have the benefit of this being the first game on the wild-card slate, so Saturday's game-day inactive list should affirm Diggs is suiting up.

The trade acquisition from Minnesota also scored eight touchdowns, coming one short of his 2018 career high.

The fact that Diggs is back on the field in some fashion is an encouraging sign for his chances of playing Monday in New England, after he was removed late in last week's win over the Broncos due to the foot issue.

He didn't break off many long gains, with his game-long catch going for 25 yards. However, he consistently beat the porous Seattle secondary en route to another productive performance.

    Diggs will not face Stephon Gilmore of the Patriots this week after the cornerback was determined to be out for Sunday's game, as reported by Field Yates of ESPN.

    Analysis: Diggs will still have to compete with what's expected to be a rainy, windy day in Buffalo, all to go with Bill Belichick's propensity to shut down an opponent's top weapon, which is clearly Diggs this season. That said, it's probably not advisable to consider sitting the AFC's leading receiver, who will no longer have to find ways to free himself from the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

While it wasn't always pretty, Diggs still managed to find the end zone, skillfully keeping his feet in bounds while making a grab along the sideline from four yards out. With that play, Diggs has now gone for at least 85 yards and/or scored in all six games since joining Buffalo, making him one of the league's top performers at his position.

The former Vikings standout topped the 100-yard mark for the third time through five games with Buffalo, bringing his season totals to 36 catches for 509 yards and three touchdowns.

    Analysis: Diggs had a solid Bills debut and led the team in receiving yards, but he was outplayed by John Brown, who finished with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown. Brown topped 1,000 yards in 2019 and already has a rapport with quarterback Josh Allen, so it could take some time for Diggs to surpass Brown as Allen's go-to guy.

The Jets are not expected to have a great secondary, especially after dealing Jamal Adams to the Seahawks this offseason, so this may be about as good of a matchup as Diggs will see in the early part of Buffalo's schedule.

    Diggs (back) returned to practice Monday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, the wideout -- who had been nursing a sore back -- was in full pads Monday, a sign that he's past what appears to have been a minor issue. Diggs is the favorite to lead the Bills in targets this coming season, albeit in an offense that figures to continue to lean heavily on the run.

  • Misses Sunday's session

    Diggs did not practice Sunday as he continues to nurse a sore back, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: Diggs was still with his teammates, watching the practice from the sidelines, so perhaps it's just a minor injury. Still, any missed time with his new team and trying to develop a rapport with Josh Allen in a preseason-less summer may come with a cost.

  • Bothered by sore back

    Diggs will miss Thursday's practice while tending to soreness in his lower back, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Based on the initial reports, this sounds like a day-to-day injury. We'll start to have cause for concern if Diggs doesn't return to practice at some point next week. He's the clear favorite to lead his new team in targets, playing in a Bills offense that finished last season t-24th in pass attempts (513) and 20th in yards per attempt (6.8). The hope in Buffalo is that Diggs' presence, along with continued growth from third-year QB Josh Allen, can elevate the passing game to league-average or…read more

  • Has contract restructured

    Diggs agreed to a restructured contract with the Bills on Wednesday, increasing his compensation for the 2020 season by $3.3 million to $14.8 million, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: On top of that, Diggs' guaranteed money for 2021 will go up $7.7 million to $11 million, while his combined 2022-23 take will decrease from $25.55 million to $22.67 million. According to Garafolo, the aforementioned adjustments were agreed to when he was dealt to Buffalo on March 16, but the emerging COVID-19 pandemic delayed them until Diggs was able to report to the team. With his new squad, Diggs will be operating in tandem with John Brown in an offense that -- like his previous one in…read more

  • Shipped to Buffalo

    The Vikings agreed to trade Diggs to the Bills on Monday, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: The trade won't become official until later this week, but the Bills are set to send a 2020 first-round pick, fifth-round pick, sixth-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick to the Vikings in exchange for Diggs and a 2020 seventh-round pick, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Trade speculation has long surrounded Diggs along with rumors he wasn't happy in Minnesota, and he'll now receive a fresh start entering the 2020 season. The 26-year-old set career highs in yards (1,130) and YPC (17.9) in 2019,…read more

  • Likely staying in Minnesota

    Diggs isn't likely to be traded this offseason, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Diggs has a penchant for posting cryptic Tweets that have led to speculation he isn't happy in Minnesota, a sentiment that first gained steam in October after he skipped a practice. His frustration may have been related to the team's run-heavy offense, something that fellow wide receiver Adam Thielen also took issue with. The Vikings quickly found a better balance and won eight of their next 11 games to secure a playoff berth, with Kirk Cousins averaging 260.7 passing yards and 2.1 passing…read more

  • Hauls in TD in loss to Niners

    Diggs caught two of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers in the NFC divisional round.

    Analysis: He hauled in the Vikings' only TD of the day on a 41-yard strike from Kirk Cousins late in the first quarter, but the game mostly belonged to the Niners after that. Diggs finished the 2019 regular season with a career-high 1,130 yards, but he was used far more as a deep threat than he was in 2018 -- he caught 63 passes on 94 targets, a significant drop from the 102 grabs on 149 targets he saw in 2018, but made up for it by nearly doubling his YPT to 12.0. Signed through 2023, Diggs should…read more

  • Cleared to play

    Diggs (illness) is not listed on the Vikings' final injury report for Saturday's playoff game against the 49ers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Diggs missed back-to-back practices Tuesday and Wednesday but was cleared to play after returning to the field Thursday. While he'll be good to go, fellow starting wideout Adam Thielen is listed as questionable for the contest after suffering an ankle injury during Wednesday's practice. Either way, Diggs will look to be more involved in his team's passing attack Saturday after being limited to two catches (on three targets) for 19 yards in last weekend's wild-card win over the Saints.

  • Back at practice

    Diggs (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Diggs had missed two days worth or practice due to an illness, but his return to the field Thursday puts him on track to suit up Saturday against the 49ers. The Vikings' final injury report of the week will reveal whether the wideout is listed as questionable for the contest, or minus an injury designation altogether.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Diggs (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Despite Diggs having missed his second straight practice, coach Mike Zimmer indicated that he isn't concerned about the wideout's availability for Saturday''s divisional playoff game versus the 49ers. Diggs' status will be revisited again Thursday during the Vikings' final practice of the week. If he's able to put in a full workout, Diggs will have a good chance at avoiding a designation heading into the weekend.

  • Absent from practice again

    Diggs (illness) wasn't spotted at the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Diggs sat out Tuesday's walk-through practice due to the illness and looks poised to go down as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report. He'll have one more opportunity to return to practice Thursday before the Vikings determine whether he'll carry a designation into Saturday's divisional-round contest against the 49ers.

  • Idle Tuesday with illness

    Diggs wasn't in attendance for Tuesday's walk-through practice due to an illness, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After defeating the Saints in overtime Sunday, the Vikings are holding only a light workout to begin the week, as the team faces a quick turnaround for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the 49ers. So long as Diggs returns to practice in some fashion Wednesday and/or Thursday, he'll likely enter the game without an injury designation.

  • Held in check by Saints

    Diggs caught two of three targets for 19 yards and carried twice for eight additional yards during Sunday's 26-20 wild-card win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Diggs saw his fair share of defensive coverage and struggled to get free against a talented New Orleans secondary. He didn't draw many targets and did little with the ones he did secure, recording a long gain of 10 yards on five touches. Still, Diggs converted a couple of big third downs and helped his team pull off an improbable road upset. He'll face another tough matchup next Saturday against the 49ers, but he should be involved nonetheless.

  • Lone bright spot in loss

    Diggs caught three of four targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-10 loss to the Packers. He also threw an incomplete pass on a failed trick play.

    Analysis: Diggs gave his team a 10-3 lead with a 21-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but it was all downhill from there, as Green Bay scored the next 20 points. He easily led the Vikings in receiving yards, as no teammate finished with more than 31. The 26-year-old receiver has 1,130 yards and six touchdowns heading into the Week 17 finale against Chicago, with half of those touchdowns coming in Week 6 against the Eagles.

  • Contributes 76 receiving yards

    Diggs caught four of six targets for 76 yards and rushed once for four yards during Sunday's 39-10 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Diggs led the team in targets, averaging 19.0 yards per catch thanks largely to his long gain of 46 yards. He could have had an even better stat line had the game remained competitive, but five turnovers from the home team greatly affected the game flow. Still, Diggs went over the 1,000-yard mark for the season and should be busier in next Monday's pivotal game against the Packers.

  • Targeted nine times

    Diggs hauled in six of his nine targets for 92 yards in the team's Week 14 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Diggs logged his second consecutive game with nine targets, hogging 31 percent of the team's total catchable passes. In addition to the volume, he recorded the game's longest play from scrimmage on a 44-yard reception just before halftime. This performance continued Diggs' inconsistent results, as he's now surpassed 90 receiving yards in two of his last five games. In the remaining three contests, he's combined to muster just 78 yards. More volatility in Diggs' performance could be in order if…read more

  • Quiet night in Week 13 loss

    Diggs secured four of nine targets for 25 yards in the Vikings' 37-30 loss to the Seahawks on Monday. He also rushed once for 27 yards.

    Analysis: Diggs was once again the recipient of plenty of extra defensive attention with Adam Thielen (hamstring) sidelined for the third straight game, and he was the intended receiver on a Kirk Cousins interception on the first play of the fourth quarter. Diggs was coming off a five-catch, 121-yard, one-touchdown effort versus the Broncos before the Week 12 bye, but his yardage tally Monday was his third lowest of the campaign. Diggs will hope to have his teammate back to draw some coverage away in a…read more

  • Goes off in second half

    Diggs caught all five of his targets for 121 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-23 win over Denver.

    Analysis: Diggs had his lone target of the first half called back for a penalty, so he was a blank slate heading into the second half. The Vikings did well to get him into rhythm early and, though fans might have questioned why Diggs was being given such generous cushions, he showed why midway through the fourth quarter when he burned the secondary on a double move for a 54-yard touchdown. Diggs has five touchdowns this season, but has scored them all in three games -- leaving himself scoreless in eight…read more

  • Another quiet game

    Diggs had three catches (six targets) for 49 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The Vikings featured a run-heavy gameplan against the Cowboys' tough pass D, which led to low usage for Diggs and the receiving options not named Dalvin Cook. The 25-year-old has really struggled over his last two contests (four catches for 53 yards combined), so the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) is likely leading to more attention being paid to the side of the field Diggs lines up on. The Vikings may stick to a run-first scheme next week against a Broncos defense that has been far more…read more

  • Shockingly shut down in loss

    Diggs brought in just one of four targets for four yards in the Vikings' 26-23 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Even with teammate Adam Thielen exiting the game in the first half after reinjuring his hamstring, Diggs was a complete non-factor in the contest. The speedy wideout was well contained by the Chiefs secondary all afternoon, and his receptions and receiving yardage were both season lows. Diggs had come into the contest with a three-game streak of 100-yard performances, so fantasy managers should expect a resurgence to some degree Week 10 versus the Cowboys.
