News: 9 hours agoDiggs caught five of nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts.

Spin: While the targets and receptions led the Commanders on the day, Diggs finished just fourth in receiving yards on the team as his longest gain went for only 10 yards. The veteran wideout's ability to deliver a big play was impacted by the loss of Marcus Mariota (knee) in the first quarter, leaving the offense in the hands of seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis. Diggs could be the No. 1 receiver again in Week 5 against the Giants if Terry McLaurin (hamstring) remains sidelined, but Diggs' ceiling could be limited if Jayden Daniels (elbow) isn't cleared to return.

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.
