Week 12 vs. Green Bay Packers
Stefon Diggs was the one to take over last week as he caught 13-of-18 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown. It was his fourth 100-yard game of the season, which is impressive considering the success his teammate Adam Thielen has had this year as well.
Diggs gets a matchup vs. the Packers this week, which was a team he set a season-high 128 yards against earlier in the year. He also scored twice in that matchup, so it's not crazy to predict another strong game from Diggs in Week 12. He can be viewed as a strong WR1 choice.
Week 11 at Chicago Bears
Stefon Diggs sat out Week 9, but with a bye week last week he should be healthy enough to return. Diggs has been somewhat off-and-on this season with three games above 100 yards and three games below 35 yards.
He should have more of an average performance this week in a decent matchup vs. the Bears. Chicago is mid-tier when it comes to stopping wideouts in 2018, so we can view Diggs as a WR2 choice in Week 11.
Week 9 vs. Detroit Lions
Stefon Diggs bounced back with a nice 10-119-1 game last week. It was his third 100-yard game of the season, which hasn't been as impressive as his teammate Adam Thielen, but it's certainly not bad. It's worth noting that Diggs missed practice Wednesday and Thursday (ribs), but says he expects to play.
Assuming he's healthy, he gets a decent matchup against the Lions. Detroit ranks near the lower end of allowing fantasy points, but that's weighted by two extreme games near the start of the season. Diggs should be fine, and can be viewed as a low-end WR1 option.
Week 8 vs. New Orleans Saints
Stefon Diggs had a weird game last week, seeing a team-high 15 targets while catching a healthy eight passes. But he had just 33 yards (4.1 ypc) for the second week in a row. He also lost seven yards on two carries. Diggs' production has been lacking due to Adam Thielen's strong season, but he's still capable of big games.
We can likely expect one of those big games this week in a favorable matchup vs. the Saints. New Orleans has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing WRs, and we all know what happened the last time these two teams faced each other. Diggs can be viewed as a WR1 this week.
Week 7 at New York Jets
Stefon Diggs has been the clear No. 2 behind Adam Thielen and sometimes that's fine, but sometimes like last week it isn't. Diggs had a poor outing, finishing with 33 yards on three catches (five targets).
He could be in line for a bounce-back week in a favorable matchup against the Jets this week. New York has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing WRs so there's room for Thielen and Diggs to both succeed. Diggs is in WR1 territory in Week 7.
Week 6 vs. Arizona Cardinals
While Adam Thielen has been making history, Stefon Diggs has been able to put up big numbers as well. He caught 10-of-11 targets for 91 yards last week, and even added 25 yards on the ground. He's been the clear No. 2 in terms of production, but he's seen 10+ targets in four straight games, with at least 90 yards in three of those matchups.
Diggs gets a tough matchup this week against Arizona, who has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs. The Cardinals have only given up one TD to wideouts this year, and Diggs hasn't scored since Week 2, so finding the end zone seems unlikely. But Diggs can be valuable in other ways, and should be viewed as a low-end WR1 or strong WR2.
Week 5 at Philadelphia Eagles
While Adam Thielen has been the main star in the Vikings' WR corps this season, Stefon Diggs has been putting up numbers as well. He has two 100-yard games, three touchdowns and has 10+ targets in three straight weeks.
He should continue to have big production this week vs. the Eagles, who are giving up the third-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. Philly has had at least 40 pass attempts against them in 3/4 games, so there should be opportunities for Diggs to get multiple receptions. We like him as a solid WR1 choice vs. Philadelphia.
Week 4 at Los Angeles Rams
Stefon Diggs was shut down last week, catching just four of his 10 targets for 17 yards. It was also the only game this season he failed to find the end zone. He could struggle again heading into Week 4 as he gets a poor matchup vs. the Rams.
The Rams have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season, really limiting their opponents. WRs have only caught a combined 21 passes against them through three games, the second-fewest in the league.
Diggs should still be viewed as a high-end WR2 this week.
Week 3 vs. Buffalo Bills
Stefon Diggs is off to a strong start in 2018 as he had yet another big game. Diggs saw 13 targets (tied with Adam Thielen) and finished with 9 receptions for 128 yards and 2 touchdowns.
We like for him to continue to be a threat this week against the Bills, who have struggled as a defense all season. Diggs has really been able to shine with Kirk Cousins at QB, so we like him as a low-end WR1 option vs. Buffalo.
Week 2 at Green Bay Packers
Stefon Diggs was not the favorite last week (Adam Thielen was), but he did come away with a score. Diggs finished with a line of 3-43-1 on six targets, which is a fine day for a talented wideout.
This week he matches up with the Packers, a team he has scored against in three straight meetings. Green Bay didn't look too dominant against wideouts in Week 1, so we expect Diggs to play well. We like him as a low-end WR1 option this week.
