Week 14 vs. New York Jets
Stefon Diggs scored a touchdown for the third straight game and put up WR1 once again with seven receptions for 92 yards. He has become one of the most reliable fantasy receivers each week. Even with opposing defenses aware of him, he still remains a viable weapon for the Bills.
Diggs faces the Jets who are ranked 1st in aFPA to wide receivers. In the first meeting this year, he had five receptions for 93 yards. He has a history of playing week against the New York.
Start Diggs as a top fantasy receiver for Week 14 despite the Jets very good pass defense. This doesn't seem to faze him with unfavorable matchups and he usually steps up against those type of opponents.
Week 13 at New England Patriots
Stefon Diggs was targeted 15 times last week which produced seven receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown. Those numbers are acceptable from any fantasy receiver, but might be slightly disappointing considering the amount of targets. Diggs now has double-digit targets in three out of his last four games.
Diggs faces the Patriots who are ranked 12th in aFPA to wide receivers. In the last three meetings with New England, Diggs wasn't the usual dominant receiver. He had receiving yards of 85, 60, and 51 with one total touchdown. So the Pats didn't shut him down, but he had the one good game and two average fantasy performances.
Start Diggs as a top-5 fantasy receiver for Week 13. The New England defense has had some issues this season with better receivers and we think the targets will continue to come Diggs' way, which should produce good results.
Week 12 at Detroit Lions
It was a fairly quiet day for the Bills passing game as Stefon Diggs had four receptions for 48 yards. He did score his first touchdown in three games, but Buffalo has been leaning on their running game more lately and that affected the fantasy numbers in a negative way.
Diggs faces the Lions who are ranked 29th in aFPA to wide receivers. Look for the Bills to gravitate back to the passing game with a great matchup on Thursday.
Start Diggs as the No. 1 fantasy wide receiver for Week 12. He should get double-digit targets and a 100-yard receiving day is definitely on the Thanksgiving menu.
Week 11 vs. Cleveland Browns
Stefon Diggs had 16 targets and 12 receptions for 128 yards in the loss last Sunday. The targets and receptions were season highs, while he also recorded his 6th 100+ receiving-yard game of 2022. He continues to prove he is one of the premier receivers in the NFL as he gets plenty of attention from opposing defenses.
Diggs faces the Browns who are ranked 18th in aFPA to wide receivers. The opponent is irrelevant at this point because he is getting huge numbers against everyone. But, with a good matchup this week, we expect another big game for Diggs. He ranks near the top for Week 11 fantasy rankings. Start him in all leagues and formats. He could be the highest scoring receiver this week.
Week 10 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Despite the Bills' lackluster performance on offense last Sunday, Stefon Diggs still had a good fantasy outing with 10 targets that produced five receptions for 93 yards. His three-game streak of scoring a touchdown was stopped, but still a solid outing for the veteran receiver.
This week will be special for Diggs as he faces his old team. The Vikings are ranked 25th in aFPA to wide receivers. The bad news is QB Josh Allen's status is up in the air for Sunday with an injury.
If Allen plays, Diggs is ranked as a top-5 fantasy receiver with a great matchup and a personal mission to show his old team what they are missing. If Case Keenum is the quarterback, Diggs' stock will drop slightly, but he will remain a WR1 for Week 10.
Week 9 at New York Jets
Stefon Diggs has been on fire. He now has three straight 100+ receiving yards games and three straight games with a touchdown. All of this with only averaging eight targets per game over that stretch but it hasn't mattered. Even when teams know he is QB Josh Allen's No. 1 target, he still puts up great numbers.
Diggs faces the Jets next who are ranked 8th in aFPA to wide receivers. Last season against New York, 27 targets, 17 catches for a combined 243 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Even though the Jets defense is much improved, it will be another big day for Diggs. Start him in all leagues and formats as the one of the top fantasy wide receiver options for Week 9.
Week 8 vs. Green Bay Packers
Stefon Diggs put up his fourth double-digit target game of the season before the bye week. He ended up with 10 receptions for 148 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Chiefs. It was also his fourth 100+ receiving yard game of the season.
Diggs faces the Packers who are ranked 8th in aFPA to wide receivers. Despite the high ranking, Green Bay has shown some struggles at time with their defense.
It should be another big game for Diggs as he is ranked as a top-five fantasy wide receiver for Week 8. Start him in all leagues and formats.
Week 6 at Kansas City Chiefs
After a quiet Week 4, Stefon Diggs was back to double-digit targets (11) which produced eight receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. Not bad considering the starters were out of the game by the fourth quarter. Diggs feeds off bad defenses which is what we saw last week.
Diggs will face Kansas City who shut him down in the playoffs last season where he only had three receptions for 7 yards. The Chiefs are only ranked 24th in aFPA to wide receivers so we expect a big game for the Buffalo offense with the favorable offense.
Start Diggs as a top 5 fantasy wide receiver for Week 6 and possibly the top receiver overall. We will not see a repeat of what we saw in 2021 playoffs and expect KC to pay more attention to Gabe Davis instead of focusing the game plan on Diggs.
Week 5 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
It was a relatively quiet game for Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo offense. He had season-lows in targets (6), receptions (4), and yards (62). It seems the Bills have been a little off the last two weeks, but we are confident they will still be one of the best offenses in the NFL.
Diggs faces the Steelers who ranked 26th in aFPA to wide receivers. Last season, Diggs only had 69 receiving yards in the meeting with Pittsburgh but T.J. Watt was in the lineup and the defense without him takes a major step back.
Start Diggs as one of the top fantasy wide receiver plays for Week 5. The matchup is good. The Bills should score a ton of points on a defense that has melted down in the second half of several games and will be starting a rookie quarterback. Big day coming up for Diggs and the Bills passing game.
Week 4 at Baltimore Ravens
Stefon Diggs had double-digit targets last Sunday, but his results were his worst of the season. He was held to seven receptions for 74 yards and zero touchdowns by the Miami defense. Not a horrible fantasy day for a receiver, but the numbers were inferior to the first two weeks where he was over 100 yards receiving and scored four touchdowns in the previous games.
Diggs faces the Ravens who are ranked 32nd in the NFL in aFPA to wide receivers. The Baltimore secondary has been hit hard by injuries and has not played well early in the season.
Start Diggs as one of the top fantasy wide receivers for Week 4. The favorable matchup and the fact the Bills are putting up huge numbers against respectable defenses should produce a big day for Diggs. Look for him to eclipse the 100 receiving yard mark again and get back into the end zone.
