Draft note

by John Paulsen

The run-heavy Bills actually attempted 47 more passes than the even run-heavier Vikings last year, though the Vikings completed 20 more passes than the Bills, so it's debatable what this trade does for Diggs' fantasy value. It certainly looks like a downgrade given the probable downgrade at quarterback and wintry late-season conditions in Buffalo. However, if the trade is a signal that the Bills want to throw the ball more, Diggs could actually see more targets than he saw last season (92). From a pure talent standpoint, it’s hard to beat Diggs in the fifth/sixth, though receivers who change teams typically produce less than the previous year unless they see a clear upgrade in role or at quarterback.

Vikings Beat: WR Justin Jefferson trusted by QB Kirk Cousins

Star Tribune

Oct 05 · 11:01 AM EDT

Kirk Cousins has now targeted Adam Thielen or Justin Jefferson with 51 of his 100 passes this season, and even as Stefon Diggs thrives with a 4-0 Bills team, Jefferson is quickly showing he can join Thielen as the kind of downfield option Cousins enjoyed with Diggs. Jefferson is tied for the league lead with eight catches of 20 yards or more.

Fantasy Impact:

The story is about how Cousins is starting to trust Jefferson. This was a situation every QB and rookie WR were faced with after COVID-19 changed training camps and eliminated preseason games. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before Cousins and Jefferson would get on the same page, and after back-to-back 100-yard games for Jefferson, the duo seems to be on their way.

BUF WR Stefon Diggs - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New York Jets
After back-to-back 100 receiving yard performances, Stefon Diggs took a step back last week with six receptions for 46 yards. He did score his third touchdown of the season to help his owners, but we have seen a great connection between him and QB Josh Allen. We had doubts after the trade from the Vikings, but he is a legit No. 1 receiver at this time.

Diggs will face the Jets who are 20th in aFPA to wide receivers. New York is a mess right now and the Bills have a two-game losing streak which will end this week and we don't expect Buffalo to hold back. Diggs had eight receptions for 86 yards in the first meeting this season.

The Bills offense will have a big game in Week 7 and Diggs ranks a WR1 against the Jets. Expect similar numbers to the first meeting and another good fantasy outing for Diggs.
