News: 1 day agoDiggs caught three of five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams.

Spin: Van Jefferson and Chig Okonkwo ended up leading the Commanders' injury-depleted group of pass catchers with seven targets each, and the former led the team in receiving yards and caught Jayden Daniels' only TD pass. Diggs' modest showing still represented his biggest yardage total since Week 1, although he did see his two-game scoring streak come to an end. Diggs will try to ramp up his production in Week 10 against the Giants.

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.
