Draft Note by Jordan Heck
Week 8 vs. Washington Redskins Stefon Diggs had another huge game last week, finishing 7-142 on eight targets. He was featured a little more due to Adam Thielen's injury, but he's been a big part of this offense all season. He's topped 100 receiving yards in three of his last four games, and he could easily hit that number again in Week 8 against a bad Washington defense. If Thielen is inactive, that should be good news for Diggs. Even if Thielen plays, Diggs should be a great start. He should be viewed as a high-end WR1 against the Redskins.

Draft note
by John Paulsen
Like his quarterback and fellow WR Adam Thielen, Diggs’ volume suffered under Kevin Stefanski once he was promoted to play-calling duties in Week 15. Diggs targets dropped from 10.4 per game for the first 12 weeks to 7.7 per game for the final three weeks. In fact, he averaged almost as many receptions for the first 13 weeks (7.3 per game) as he did targets in the final three. He did catch a touchdown in each game, but only averaged 35 yards under Stefanski.

Stefon Diggs travels to New Jersey with team

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs made the trip to New Jersey with the rest of the team as Minnesota prepares to take on the New York Giants.

Fantasy Impact: 

There has been some speculation and mystery as to the future of Diggs in Minnesota after his cryptic social media posts and unhappiness with the passing offense in Minnesota. Cronin reports head coach Mike Zimmer was noncommital on the status of Diggs on Friday but, as she notes, it is definitely a positive sign that Diggs made the trip with his teammates. This has become a weird story regarding Diggs but now that he made the trip, it's hard to imagine the Vikings would play without him Sunday after he had already been fined for missing meetings. Stay tuned.

MIN WR Stefon Diggs - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Washington Redskins

Stefon Diggs had another huge game last week, finishing 7-142 on eight targets. He was featured a little more due to Adam Thielen's injury, but he's been a big part of this offense all season. He's topped 100 receiving yards in three of his last four games, and he could easily hit that number again in Week 8 against a bad Washington defense. If Thielen is inactive, that should be good news for Diggs. Even if Thielen plays, Diggs should be a great start. He should be viewed as a high-end WR1 against the Redskins.
