Diggs could have a nice game in Week 16 at Baltimore, and the Ravens have allowed one receiver to score at least 18 PPR points in four games in a row. But Diggs could also post a minimal stat line, which he has done in three games in a row, and that's why he's on this list. In his past three outings against the Bengals, Giants and Bills, Diggs has combined for 15.2 PPR points with eight catches for 72 yards and no touchdowns on 11 targets. Prior to this three-game stretch, Diggs had scored at least 12.8 PPR points in three games in a row, and I hope he gets back to that level of play. But given his recent body of work, I would only start Diggs in deep, three-receiver leagues.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Modest showing against former team
Rotowire
Diggs caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.
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.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Diggs has been quiet in his past two games against the Bengals and Giants with a combined five catches for 46 yards on seven targets, and he scored 5.6 PPR points or less in each outing. But prior to that, Diggs scored at least 12.8 PPR points in three games in a row, and he had a dominant game against the Bills in Week 5 with 10 catches for 146 yards on 12 targets. Diggs has now faced Buffalo twice since he left the team in 2023, and he has at least 14.2 PPR points in each outing. I like Diggs as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 15.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Remains quiet in Week 13 win
Rotowire
Diggs secured three of four targets for 26 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.
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.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Diggs is coming off a down game in Week 12 at Cincinnati with two catches for 20 yards on three targets, but he should bounce back against the Giants, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. The Giants have allowed 15 receivers to score at least 14 PPR points this season, including one in each game. Prior to Week 12, Diggs had either a touchdown or 100 receiving yards in four games in a row, and he should be considered a solid No. 2 Fantasy receiver in this Monday night matchup at home.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Just two grabs in Week 12 win
Rotowire
Diggs caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.
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.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Diggs revealed Wednesday that he's been playing through a fractured finger, but it hasn't impacted his production. He has either a touchdown or 100 receiving yards in four games in a row, and he has 19 targets in his past two outings against Tampa Bay and the Jets. This week, Diggs gets to face the Bengals at home, and Cincinnati has allowed three receivers to score at least 15.4 PPR points in the past three games. I like Diggs as a high-end No. 2 receiver in the majority of leagues. Kayshon Boutte, who missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, should also be considered a sleeper in his return to action. Prior to getting hurt in Week 9, Boutte had scored at least 13.5 PPR points in three games in a row.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Eclipses century mark in win
Rotowire
Diggs secured nine of 11 targets for 105 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
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 Week 12 home matchup against the Bengals.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Diggs has scored a touchdown in three games in a row heading into Week 11 against the Jets, and he has scored at least 12.8 PPR points four times in his past six outings. He's worth trusting as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues, and the Jets have allowed a receiver to score at least 19.8 PPR points in four of their past five games. Sauce Gardner is now with the Colts, and Diggs has scored at least 14.3 PPR points against the Jets in three of his past five meetings.

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

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Diggs has scored a touchdown in consecutive games but has been held to fewer than 40 yards in each outing against Cleveland and Atlanta. I'm hopeful that will change in Week 10 at Tampa Bay, especially since Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is out. The Buccaneers have allowed six receivers to score at least 12.9 PPR points in their past four games, and Diggs should be considered a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. I also like Demario Douglas as a sleeper with Boutte out, and Douglas has scored at least 16.1 PPR points in two of his past four games.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Scores TD in Week 9 win
Rotowire
Diggs caught three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.
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 road game against the Buccaneers.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Upgrades to full Thursday
Rotowire
Diggs (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
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.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Diggs (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
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.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Stays limited Thursday
Rotowire
Diggs (chest) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Diggs also had his reps capped Wednesday while he manages a chest issue, but the Patriots haven't suggested that his availability for Sunday's game against the Browns is in danger. New England will release its final Week 8 injury report Friday, when it will be known whether Diggs heads into Sunday with a designation or is fully cleared.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Listed as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Diggs (chest) was limited at practice Wednesday.
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.

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

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Active Sunday
Rotowire
Diggs (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, Diggs upgraded to full participation Friday before being deemed questionable for the contest. With his Week 7 availability confirmed, in the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks, Diggs is in line to maintain his key role in a New England WR corps that also features Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins. Prior to a three-catch, 28-yard effort (on three targets) in a Week 6 win over the Saints, Diggs made his mark from a fantasy perspective by recording back-to-back 100-plus yard efforts in Weeks 4 and 5, a span in which he was targeted 19 times. Through six games overall, Diggs leads the Patriots in targets (37), receptions (32), and receiving yards (387).

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Diggs (chest), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Diggs turned in limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday but was a full participant Friday, so the prevailing expectation was that he would be available for the Week 7 contest. While the Patriots may not officially confirm Diggs' status until they release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, fantasy managers can consider the veteran wideout to be trending in the right direction. He had put up consecutive 100-plus-yard receiving performances before falling back down to earth in a 25-19 win over the Saints this past weekend, when Diggs secured all three of his targets for just 28 yards.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Questionable after full practice
Rotowire
Diggs (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after upgrading to full participation in Friday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Though the official questionable designation makes Diggs' status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, the wideout's ability to practice fully Friday has him trending in the right direction for Week 7 action. If, however, Diggs ends up limited or out versus Tennessee, added opportunities at WR would be available for Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams.
