News: 4 days agoDiggs caught five of six targets for 47 yards and two touchdowns in the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Spin: Diggs tied Rachaad White and Dyami Brown for second on the team with his six targets, three behind Terry McLaurin for the team lead. It was Diggs who accounted for both of Washington's touchdowns, securing scores from Jayden Daniels (elbow) in the second quarter before then catching one from Marcus Mariota in the fourth. Through two games with the Commanders, Diggs has nine catches for 102 yards and three touchdowns on 15 targets. His production figures to take a hit while Daniels is sidelined with his injury.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Diggs signed with the Commanders in August after he was released by the Patriots earlier this offseason. Successful in his return from an ACL tear suffered midway through 2024, the veteran receiver's lone season in New England resulted in 85 catches (ninth among wide receivers) and his seventh career 1,000-yard campaign. Diggs paced the position with an incredible 83% catch rate (second highest all time for a receiver with 100-plus targets) and ranked fourth in yards per route run (2.8). Not used much near the goal line, however, Diggs was limited to four touchdowns and finished 23rd in fantasy PPG. He obviously still has something left in the tank, but is now 32 years old and his usage is trending downward. He has a path to a substantial offense role in Washington and can be viewed as a low-ceiling flex.
