Stefon Diggs Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Patriots vs Bengals game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 13, 2025
Eclipses century mark in win
Diggs secured nine of 11 targets for 105 yards in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 9, 2025
Key TD grab in win
Diggs brought in five of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 2, 2025
Scores TD in Week 9 win
Diggs caught three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 30, 2025
Upgrades to full Thursday
Diggs (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 29, 2025
Logs limited practice Wednesday
Diggs (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 26, 2025
Ends TD drought
Diggs caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Drake Maye didn't need to air it out too much, but the second-year quarterback still tossed three TDs in the third quarter to ice the game, with Diggs catching a one-yard score as part of the barrage. It was the veteran wideout's first touchdown of the season, a welcome sight for fantasy investors even if it came along with a season-low yardage total. Diggs will take a 42-470-1 line on 49 targets through eight games into a Week 9 clash with the Falcons.
Oct 24, 2025
Cleared for Sunday
Diggs (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing fully Friday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was limited Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a chest issue, but the wideout's full participation in Friday's session clears the way for him to maintain his key pass-catching role in New England's offense. Through seven games thus far this season, Diggs leads his team in targets (44), catches (39) and receiving yards (456), a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar Week 8.
Oct 23, 2025
Still limited Thursday
Diggs (chest) remained limited at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was also limited at practice Wednesday, as he manages a chest issue, but there's nothing to suggest that the wideout's Week 8 status is in any danger. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Diggs heads into the weekend with a designation or fully cleared to maintain his key pass-catching role Sunday against the Browns.
Oct 22, 2025
Listed as limited Wednesday
Diggs (chest) was limited at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 19, 2025
Perfect on seven targets
Diggs recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 19, 2025
Active Sunday
Diggs (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
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).
Oct 18, 2025
Expected to play Sunday
Diggs (chest), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs turned in limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday but was a full participant Friday, so it's been expected that he would be available Week 7. While the Patriots may not officially confirm Diggs' status until roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, fantasy managers can consider the veteran wideout to be trending in the right direction. He had put up back-to-back 100-plus yard performances before falling back down to earth Week 6 versus the Saints, a 25-19 win in which Diggs secured all three of his targets for just 28 yards.
Oct 17, 2025
Questionable after full practice
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 17, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Diggs (chest) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been limited at practice this week, and now the wideout's status for Sunday's game is in question. Fortunately for those considering Diggs in Week 7 fantasy lineups, the Patriots kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Diggs is limited or out this weekend, added opportunities would be available for fellow WRs Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas, with Kyle Williams and Efton Chism also available to mix in.
Oct 16, 2025
Another limited practice
Diggs (chest) remained limited at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Following back-to-back limited sessions, Diggs has one more chance to upgrade to full participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. If that doesn't occur, the wideout figures to head into the weekend with an injury designation, but so far there's no been indication that Diggs' Week 7 availability is in danger.
Oct 15, 2025
Limited at practice Wednesday
Diggs (chest) was limited at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was on the field for 59 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, while catching all three of his targets for 28 yards, which represented a dip in production for him after back-to-back 100-plus yard efforts in Weeks 4 and 5. So far there's nothing to suggest that Diggs' availability for this weekend's game against the Titans is in any danger, but his status should be monitored nonetheless, given his 'limited' listing Wednesday.
Oct 12, 2025
Just three grabs Sunday
Diggs caught all three of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout wasn't able to follow up on his revenge game against the Bills last week, as Drake Maye instead looked for Kayshon Boutte (5-93-2 on five targets) and DeMario Douglas (3-71-1 on four targets) with his downfield throws Sunday. Diggs still has a respectable 32 catches for 387 yards on 37 targets through six games, but he's still looking for his first TD of 2025. Diggs will try to hit paydirt in Week 7 against the Titans.
Oct 5, 2025
Monster receiving line on SNF
Diggs hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 146 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Diggs saved his best performance of the season to date for the bright lights of Sunday Night Football in a win over one of his former clubs no less. The 31-year-old star wideout cracked the century mark in receiving yards for the second consecutive week after totaling just 112 yards over his first three appearances with New England. A lack of touchdowns lingers as the only flaw in Diggs' 2025 fantasy resume, but his recent game log proves that he still can produce at an elite level. Diggs should be treated as a WR1 in fantasy when the Patriots visit the Saints next Sunday.
Sep 28, 2025
Over 100-yard mark in win
Diggs brought in six of seven targets for 101 yards in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Drake Maye threw for a relatively modest 203 yards on the afternoon in the easy victory, but Diggs accounted for just under half of his quarterback's yardage while posting his best game yet of his nascent Patriots tenure. Diggs led New England's pass catchers across the board with all three components of his receiving line, and perhaps the breakout effort, which included a team-high 33-yard reception, will serve as a launchpad as a marquee Week 5 divisional showdown against his old Bills teammates looms next Sunday night.
Sep 21, 2025
Three grabs against Pittsburgh
Diggs caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout continues to have a quiet start to his Patriots tenure. Diggs has yet to reach 60 receiving yards in a game or score a touchdown through three weeks, and Sunday's three targets represented his lowest volume yet. The 31-year-old simply may not be the same player he was prior to the ACL injury that cut short his 2024 campaign with the Texans, but Diggs will look to continue building chemistry with Drake Maye in Week 4 against the Panthers.
Sep 14, 2025
Five targets tie for team lead
Diggs caught four of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Diggs tied Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead in targets but finished third on the Patriots in receiving yards behind Stevenson (88) and Austin Hooper (38). Drake Maye spread the ball out to nine different receivers, and New England's pair of touchdowns through the air went to Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte. Diggs is the top option in New England's wide receiver room, but that role doesn't always command significant volume in a Patriots offense predicated on runs and quick passes. Diggs could see a lot of star cornerback Jalen Ramsey in Week 3 against the Steelers, which will make it difficult for the veteran wide receiver to pick up the pace.
Sep 7, 2025
Remains involved in Week 1 loss
Diggs secured six of seven targets for 57 yards in the Patriots' 20-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Making his team debut and suiting up for his first taste of game action since Week 8 of last season with the Texans, Diggs finished tied for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in targets. While nothing spectacular from a fantasy perspective, Diggs' numbers were encouraging considering it was his first taste of game action with quarterback Drake Maye, and it appears evident he'll be a key target for the second-year signal-caller moving forward. Diggs next takes aim at a defense he's highly familiar with from his days with the Bills, that of the Dolphins in a Week 2 road matchup next Sunday.
Sep 3, 2025
Not on Week 1 injury report
Diggs (knee) isn't listed on the Patriots' injury report ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Diggs, who is bouncing back from a torn ACL he sustained Oct. 27, 2024, didn't suit up for any preseason games, but after avoiding placement on the PUP list ahead of training camp, he was a regular participant at practice this summer, and has now been cleared for New England's opener. However, given the fact that the veteran wideout hasn't seen game action since sustaining his injury, it remains to be seen if he'll be on any kind of 'pitch count' in Sunday's contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN. On that subject, Diggs noted Wednesday "I don't make the rules. We'll see how it goes, but I really hope not." In any case, the Patriots' Week 1 snaps counts will be of particular interest with regard to the pecking order in the team's WR corps as a whole, but in the case of Diggs it's data that will be key in evaluating the early-season prospects of a player who profiles as New England's WR1 when healthy and playing without any workload restrictions.
Sep 2, 2025
Tracking toward playing Week 1
Head coach Mike Vrabel said that, as of Tuesday, Diggs (knee) will "be out there" for the Patriots' season opener Sunday versus the Raiders, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Diggs didn't suit up for any of the Patriots' three preseason games, he doesn't appear to have hit any snags in his recovery from the torn ACL he sustained Oct. 27, 2024 while playing with the Texans. After signing with New England in March, Diggs avoided placement on the PUP list ahead of training camp and didn't experience any apparent restrictions in practices throughout July and August. The Patriots' first injury report of the regular season will be released Wednesday and will clarify whether Diggs was a full participant in practice. If Diggs opens the week of practice without limitations, he should be ready to serve as New England's No. 1 receiver Sunday.
Aug 22, 2025
Doesn't see preseason action
Diggs (knee) didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Diggs, who continues to bounce back from a torn ACL that he suffered last October, has been a regular practice participant since avoiding the active/PUP list to begin training camp, but the veteran wideout didn't see any action in either of the Patriots' three exhibition contests this month. While the signs continue to point toward Diggs being able to make a mark early on this season, until or unless the team confirms his Week 1 availability, his status will be worth monitoring ahead of New England's Sept. 7 opener against the Raiders.
Aug 18, 2025
Ahead of schedule in recovery
Patriots EVP of player personnel Eliot Wolf said Monday that Diggs (knee) is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from a torn ACL, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been a consistent participant in practice throughout training camp, but the Patriots haven't allowed him to suit up for either of the team's first two preseason exhibitions. However, everything out of New England this summer has been positive regarding Diggs' recovery from the knee injury he sustained in Week 8 last season. He avoided the active/PUP list to begin camp, and there's been no indication Diggs won't be available for Week 1 against the Raiders in a little less than three weeks.
Aug 16, 2025
Not available Saturday
Diggs (knee) wasn't in uniform for Saturday's preseason contest against the Vikings, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs also sat out the Patriots' preseason opener against the Commanders, which means that Aug. 21 against the Giants will be the wideout's last chance to log game reps ahead of the regular season. Diggs, who is bouncing back from a torn ACL that he suffered last October, avoided the PUP list to begin training camp and has "been out here almost every day," coach Mike Vrabel noted Thursday, however, unless Diggs sees action versus New York next week, or the Patriots elect to confirm his status for the team's opener, Diggs' status will remain worth monitoring.
Aug 11, 2025
DNP was coach's decision
On Monday, Coach Mike Vrabel didn't offer any specifics on why Diggs (knee) sat out Friday's preseason opener against the Commanders, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
In a game in which the Patriots played the bulk of their healthy starters, Diggs was present on the sideline, but didn't suit up during warmups or on the bench. When asked if Diggs' inactivity Friday was health-related, Vrabel limited his response to "coach's decision." The veteran wideout, who is bouncing back from a torn ACL that he suffered last October, has been a full practice participant for most of the summer, though he did miss the first half of Wednesday's joint practice with Washington for unspecified reasons. On the topic of Diggs' injury recovery, wide receivers coach Todd Downing noted Monday, "I think where he's at in his process right now is where we want him to be," while adding "I think he'll stay on the trajectory we expect him to be on." Though the signs continue to point toward Diggs being able to contribute early on this season, until he takes game reps, or the Patriots otherwise confirm his Week 1 status, we won't take that for granted.
Aug 8, 2025
Not in line to play Friday
Diggs (knee) wasn't spotted in uniform during warmups ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Commanders, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald and Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site report.
ANALYSIS
The same applies to fellow WR Kendrick Bourne, who is managing a lower leg injury. While Diggs has reportedly looked sharp in training camp practices, he is bouncing back from an ACL tear he suffered Week 8 of last season, so it's not surprising that the Patriots are erring on the side of caution here. The veteran wideout's next chance to see game action will arrive Aug. 16 against the Vikings.
Aug 1, 2025
Having an impressive camp
Through the Patriots' first eight practices in training camp, Evan Lazar of the team's official site notes that Diggs (knee) "is a cut above at the receiver position due to his separation quickness, efficient movements and ability to win at the catch point with magnet hands."
ANALYSIS
Diggs is bouncing back from an ACL tear he suffered Week 8 of last season, but with no reported limitations in training camp, and plenty of positive reviews on his on-field performance, the arrow is pointing up with regard to his chances of making an impact out of the gate this season. It remains to be seen what the team's plans are for the wideout in terms of his participation (or lack thereof) during the Patriots' upcoming preseason slate, but if Diggs is cleared for game action in that span, any lingering concerns that fantasy observers might still have at this point about the soundness of his knee should be erased.
Jul 24, 2025
Training camp practice goes well
Coach Mike Vrabel reported no physical restrictions for Diggs (knee) during Wednesday's opening training camp practice, Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
In reference to the fact that Diggs is bouncing back from an ACL tear he suffered in Week 8 of last season, Vrabel noted "I know that everybody heals differently, especially from that type of injury. But I would say that I think it's just a testament to how hard he worked," while adding that the wideout's progress will be monitored throughout training camp. Considering the timing and nature of his injury, Diggs' practice reps figure to be managed this summer, but the fact that he appears to be working without limitations at this stage bodes well for his chances of making an impact in the Patriots offense out of the gate this season.
Jul 23, 2025
Looks good on Day 1 of camp
Diggs (knee) had the first catch of training camp from QB Drake Maye on Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
It remains to be seen if Diggs will have limitations once the Patriots ramp up the intensity of practices and do contact work. For now, he seems to be ahead of the typical timeline for his injury, avoiding the PUP list at the start of training camp less than nine months after suffering an ACL tear. Diggs' participation in the first camp practice puts him on track to play Week 1 for his new team.
Jul 22, 2025
Cleared for practice
Diggs (knee) is cleared to practice Wednesday for the start of training camp, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
ANALYSIS
Coming back from an ACL tear in Week 8 last season, Diggs wasn't named on New England's list of PUP players ahead of training camp. He was a limited participant in spring practices and may also have some limitations for the start of camp, but it's still a good sign that the team thinks he's ready to practice so soon. Diggs signed a three-year, $69 million contract in March, with just 24.1 percent of the money guaranteed at signing ($16.6 million) and minimal commitment beyond 2025.
Jun 2, 2025
Attends voluntary practice
Diggs (ACL) is present for voluntary OTAs on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs' attendance at voluntary OTAs has been hit-or-miss, and he was notably absent last Wednesday when head coach Mike Vrabel was made to address a controversial video of the veteran wide receiver posted to social media, per Mike Reiss of ESPN. Vrabel said he had spoken with Diggs and stressed a desire for the 31-year-old, who inked a three-year, $69 million deal in March to position himself as the No. 1 wide receiver for second-year quarterback Drake Maye, "to make great decisions on and off the field." Diggs is again practicing without a brace on his surgically repaired right knee Monday, per Reiss, a sign that his recovery from a torn ACL suffered Oct. 27 is continuing on good track.
May 23, 2025
Practicing without knee brace
Diggs (ACL) participated in on-field work in uniform and without a brace on his right knee at Day 3 of OTAs on Thursday, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots' photo release of OTAs reveals Diggs looking healthy and without any apparent hindrances related to his right knee, in which he suffered a torn right ACL on Oct. 27. While the 31-year-old wideout likely still has some hurdles to overcome in his rehab before being cleared for contact, his ability to get in some on-field work at voluntary OTAs lends further optimism to the notion that he'll be a full-go for Week 1. Since signing Diggs to a three-year, $69 million deal in free agency, New England added a speedy vertical threat to the wide receiver room in the form of third-round pick Kyle Williams, plus a capable pass-catcher in the backfield in second-rounder TreVeyon Henderson. Those additions don't represent huge threats to Diggs' position as the clear top target for second-year quarterback Drake Maye, health permitting, but Henderson and Williams are explosive options that this offense had otherwise been lacking in incumbent wideouts DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins
Mar 26, 2025
Could be ready for Week 1
Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site relays via Adam Schefter of ESPN that there's reportedly optimism Diggs, who is bouncing back from a torn right ACL in his right knee that he suffered Oct. 27, could be ready for Week 1 of the coming season.
ANALYSIS
Given the timing of his injury, Diggs being available for the Patriots' regular-season opener is far from a lock, but Mike Reiss of ESPN recently noted that league sources described the wideout as ahead of schedule in his recovery and already running full speed, while in the process of gaining increased comfort in terms of cutting and changing direction. In any case, added context with regard to Diggs' progress will arrive once he re-takes the field in the coming months, and once he's deemed fit for game action, the 31-year-old will be counted on to establish himself as a high-volume target for second-year QB Drake Maye. It's possible that the Patriots aren't done adding to their WR corps, but for now DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker are on hand to compete for slotting behind Diggs, who New England signed to a reported three-year, $69 million deal (with $26 million guaranteed) on Tuesday.
Mar 25, 2025
Headed to New England
Diggs (knee) and the Patriots agreed on a three-year, $69 million contract including $26 million guaranteed Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs will head to New England after an injury-shorted campaign with the Texans in 2024. The wide receiver caught 47 of 64 targets for 496 yards and three touchdowns while also adding eight yards and a score on the ground over eight games with Houston before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 8 against the Colts. Once he moves past the injury, Diggs will have a clear path to a heavy target load as Drake Maye's de facto WR1 with the Patriots in 2025.
Mar 20, 2025
Visiting New England
Diggs (knee) is visiting with the Patriots, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The free-agent wideout is unlikely to re-sign with the Texans in light of their trade for Christian Kirk, but New England looks like a similarly good option for fantasy production, offering budding franchise quarterback Drake Maye in combination with one of the weakest WR rooms in the league. It isn't clear Diggs would be able to help at the outset of the season, considering he's 31 years old and rehabbing the ACL tear he suffered in late October. He presumably had surgery at some point in November, giving him about a 10-month gap between the ACL repair and Week 1 of 2025. It's been done before, but typically by players in their 20s, not 31-year-olds that had already shown major signs of decline pre-injury.
Feb 24, 2025
May move on to greener pastures
Texans GM Nick Caserio suggested he's open to re-signing Diggs (knee), but Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle thinks it's unlikely to happen unless the wideout accepts less money than he could get from other teams.
ANALYSIS
Be it in Houston or elsewhere, there's no question Diggs will have to settle for less than he's accustomed to earning, as he's 31 years old and suffered an ACL tear in late October. He's set to become a free agent while still rehabbing the knee injury, with no assurance of being ready for Week 1 of 2025. The Texans figure to be in the market for high-end WR talent even if they ultimately re-sign Diggs, having lost Tank Dell to a multi-ligament knee tear in late December. Although he's six years younger than Diggs, there's not much reason for optimism about Dell being a significant contributor in 2025. The Texans do at least have Nico Collins, who emerged as one of the league's bonafide No. 1 receivers the past two seasons.
Oct 29, 2024
Goes on IR, done for season
The Texans placed Diggs (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Houston quickly moved Diggs off the 53-man roster after head coach DeMeco Ryans relayed earlier Tuesday that an MRI confirmed that the standout receiver suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee on a non-contact play late in third quarter of Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts. The Texans will look to get by with Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie in their Week 9 matchup with the Jets on Thursday, but top wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) appears to be trending toward a return from IR in Week 10 and should help offset the loss of Diggs. Meanwhile, the soon-to-be 31-year-old Diggs will head into free agency this offseason rebounding from a major injury after producing a 47-496-3 receiving line on 64 targets through his eight games with Houston.
Oct 29, 2024
Done for the year with torn ACL
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday that Diggs (knee) has been diagnosed with a season-ending right ACL tear, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs went down with a non-contact right knee injury during Houston's 23-20 win over the Colts on Sunday, and while it took longer than usual the team to confirm the severity of his injury, the veteran wideout has indeed been diagnosed with a season-ending ACL tear. Both the nature and timing of the injury are brutal developments for Diggs, who was playing out the 2024 campaign on a one-year, $22.52 million restructured 'prove-it' contract with the Texans. Diggs is now scheduled to hit free agency while facing a recovery timetable that may put his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign in jeopardy, while Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson and Robert Woods become positioned to start for Houston in three-wide sets, at least until Nov. 10, the earliest date that Nico Collins (hamstring) will be eligible to return from IR.
Oct 28, 2024
Estimated as DNP Monday
Diggs (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Demeco Ryans has yet to give any updates on his star wideout after Diggs went down with a non-contact knee injury in Sunday's eventual win over the Colts. The Texans now have a quick Week 9 turnaround with a Thursday night game against the Jets up next. Nico Collins (hamstring, IR) isn't eligible to return until Week 10, so the Texans could be down to Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie and Robert Woods at wide receiver versus New York.
Oct 27, 2024
Suffers noncontact knee injury
Diggs suffered a noncontact knee injury in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts, and coach DeMeco Ryans said after the game that the wide receiver's injury is still being evaluated, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
There is a wide range of possible outcomes for Diggs' knee injury, but the noncontact nature of the injury points to the possibility of a torn ACL, which would be season-ending. An update on Diggs' status should surface in the coming days as additional tests are performed on the injury.
Oct 27, 2024
Injures knee Sunday
Diggs was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com, Diggs walked off on his own power before heading to the locker room, but this is a situation to monitor nonetheless. In Diggs' absence, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie are left to handle Houston's WR duties versus Indianapolis.

Modest output as Stroud struggles
Diggs caught five of seven targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Diggs had just three receiving yards in the first half and was only marginally better in the second half as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in the game. The veteran wide receiver's modest contributions included a two-yard catch on third-and-1 to extend a fourth-quarter drive that culminated in Ka'imi Fairbairn's go-ahead 35-yard field goal with 1:44 remaining, but the Packers responded with a game-winning Brandon McManus field goal as time expired to drop the Texans to 5-2. Houston's passing game has a nice opportunity to bounce back at home in Week 8 against a leaky Colts defense that Diggs burned for two touchdowns back in Week 1.
Oct 13, 2024
Finds paydirt in Week 6 win
Diggs caught six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Diggs caught a 10-yard touchdown in the third quarter for his fourth overall score through six games with the Texans. His usage wasn't markedly different in the first of at least four games Nico Collins (hamstring) will spend on injured reserve, as Tank Dell (57 yards and a touchdown on nine targets) was the biggest beneficiary of Collins' absence. Diggs has at least six targets in every game this season, and he's likely to reach that threshold again in a Week 7 road game against the Packers.
Oct 9, 2024
Set for WR1 role next few weeks
Diggs is poised to lead Houston's receiving corps for the next four weeks, starting with Sunday's game against the Patriots, as the Texans placed Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been out-targeted 45-41 by Collins through five games, but Collins has been much more effective with his volume, posting a league-leading 567 receiving yards compared to Diggs' 315. While Diggs' focus on shorter routes will make it tough to replicate Collins' exceptional production, the veteran wide receiver's fantasy stock should nonetheless rise from this development, as Diggs could be in for even more attention from star quarterback C.J. Stroud for the duration of Collins' absence.
Oct 6, 2024
Six catches as Collins gets hurt
Diggs caught six of eight targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Diggs finished with the team lead in targets and receiving yards, as Nico Collins exited due to a hamstring injury after turning two targets into 78 yards and a touchdown. While Diggs lacks Collins' downfield explosiveness at this stage of his career, the former Buffalo wide receiver's precise route running and strong hands have helped Diggs rack up 31 catches on 41 targets through five games with Houston, and Diggs could be in line for additional targets from C.J. Stroud in Week 6 against the Patriots if Collins is unavailable.
Sep 29, 2024
Gets into end zone in win
Diggs caught five of nine targets for 69 yards and took his only carry for a six-yard touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout scored his first career rushing TD in the first quarter, taking a designed run to the right before reversing field and darting into the end zone through traffic in the middle of the field. Diggs has been a distant second to Nico Collins so far in terms of target volume, but he's still been productive to begin his first season with Houston, scoring three total touchdowns in four games while adding a 25-233 receiving line on 33 targets. Diggs gets an opportunity at a revenge game in Week 5 against the Bills, the team that traded him to the Texans in April.
Sep 22, 2024
Big volume in loss to Vikes
Diggs caught 10 of 12 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout didn't exactly put together a revenge game against the team that drafted him in 2015, but Diggs did lead the Texans in catches, targets and receiving yards on the day. The receptions and targets equaled his totals from the first two games of the season combined, an encouraging sign after Nico Collins dominated C.J. Stroud's attention early. Diggs will look to make a big impact again in Week 4 against the Jaguars.
Sep 15, 2024
Another modest yardage total
Diggs caught four of six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Going back to last season with the Bills, Diggs has just 633 receiving yards in his last 13 regular-season games. He papered over a 33-yard Texans debut with two touchdown catches, but Diggs barely raised his yardage total in Week 2 while failing to score. Diggs is clearly behind Nico Collins (252 receiving yards through two games) in the wide receiver pecking order heading into a Week 3 road game in Minnesota, where Diggs began his career from 2015-2019.
Sep 8, 2024
Two TDs in Texans debut
Diggs caught all six of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts. He added six rushing yards on one carry.
ANALYSIS
While Nico Collins remained the top downfield option for C.J. Stroud, Diggs made an immediate impact as a red-zone threat in his debut for the Texans. The former Bill put his new team in the lead for good with a nine-yard score early in the second quarter, then hauled in Houston's final TD of the afternoon with a three-yard grab late in the fourth. Diggs scored at least eight touchdowns in all four of his seasons with Buffalo and has reached that mark six times in total during his career, and it looks like he'll have no trouble doing it again with the Texans in 2024. Diggs will make his home debut for Houston in Week 2 against the Bears.
Aug 17, 2024
One grab against Giants
Diggs caught his only target for nine yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason win over the Giants. He also gained two rushing yards on one carry.
ANALYSIS
The Texans' first-team offense was only on the field for two possessions and came away with zero points, but Diggs was still able to build on his rapport with C.J. Stroud. Houston played both series in 12 personnel, with Diggs and Nico Collins being the two starting wideouts, and that appears as though it might be the team's base package during the regular season. Diggs is coming off a four-year run in Buffalo during which he caught more than 100 passes and topped 1,100 receiving yards in each season, but the 30-year-old will have a lot more competition for targets in Houston.
Aug 9, 2024
No targets in Texans debut
Diggs wasn't targeted in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Diggs made his Texans debut as Houston's top offensive starters mixed in for two drives after sitting out the Hall of Fame Game last week. Neither Diggs nor Nico Collins were targeted in this game, while QB C.J. Stroud linked up with Tank Dell for a 34-yard touchdown. All three of Diggs, Collins and Dell figure to play significant roles in Houston's receiving corps come the regular season, but they may continue to be eased in during next Saturday's preseason game against the Giants.
Aug 9, 2024
In uniform Friday
Diggs, who missed practice Wednesday with an unspecified issue, is in uniform for Friday's preseason game against the Steelers, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was shook up in practice Tuesday, and his absence from Wednesday's session hinted at the wideout possibly being held out of Friday's contest. However, it looks like Diggs may see some snaps versus Pittsburgh after all, and if that's the case he'll have an opportunity to catch passes from starting QB C.J. Stroud, who's expected to play a series or two, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Aug 8, 2024
Banged up a bit
Diggs missed Wednesday's practice with a minor injury after taking a hard hit Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs thus seems unlikely to play in Friday's preseason game against Pittsburgh, giving other WRs an opportunity to take first-team snaps in what likely will be a brief appearance for QB C.J. Stroud and other starters. It sounds like Diggs should be healthy well before the regular season, keeping him on track to team up with Nico Collins and Tank Dell for a formidable Big 3 at wide receiver.
Apr 4, 2024
Can become a free agent next season
As part of the trade the sent him to the Texans, Diggs had the final three years of his contract wiped out, which allows the wideout to become a free agent after the 2024 season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
ANALYSIS
The report adds that the Texans also took $3.5 million that was guaranteed to Diggs next year and shifted it to this coming season, which assures the 30-year-old of $22.52 million in guaranteed money in 2024. With the reported contract adjustment, Schefter notes that the Texans anticipate getting a highly motivated version of Diggs, given that he'll be in position to seek another long-term deal next year. In his new locale, Diggs is slated to head a Houston pass-catching corps that also features fellow WRs Nico Collins and Tank Dell, as well as TE Dalton Schultz. While Diggs will have some legit competition for targets, he should nonetheless see steady weekly volume from ascending second-year QB C.J. Stroud, a context that will keep the 2015 fifth-rounder firmly on the fantasy radar.
Apr 3, 2024
Traded to Houston
The Bills are trading Diggs to the Texans in a deal that sends a second-round pick back to Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Houston gets a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder, in addition to a 30-year-old wideout who had more than 1,000 yards and at least six touchdowns each of the past six seasons. Diggs spent the last four years in Buffalo, where he averaged 111.3 catches for 1,343 yards and 9.3 TDs without ever missing a game. His production fell off a cliff in the second half of 2023, however, and there have been rumblings for a few years now about his hot-and-cold relationship with QB Josh Allen and other members of the Buffalo organization. Diggs will now be paired with another franchise quarterback, Houston's C.J. Stroud, but in an offense that offers stronger target competition following breakout 2023 performances from WRs Nico Collins and Tank Dell.
Feb 6, 2024
Unsure of what future holds
Diggs said Friday that he isn't sure if he'll be back with the Bills in 2024 but told Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network that, "I don't have any surprises for you right now."
ANALYSIS
There was a lot of speculation last spring about Diggs' relationship with the Bills, and more specifically with QB Josh Allen. The wideout said he "gets tired" of the questions about him and Allen, noting that he's already addressed the situation (or lack thereof) multiple times. Diggs has four years remaining on the extension he signed in April of 2022, but there's nonetheless been trade speculation in recent weeks, as the deal doesn't have any guaranteed money remaining and his production dropped considerably in the second half of the 2023 season. On the other hand, Buffalo doesn't have much else at wide receiver -- especially with Gabe Davis scheduled for free agency -- and the first half of 2023 featured one of Diggs' most productive stretches with the team, including five 100-yard games within the first six weeks and seven TDs through nine weeks. He had just one more TD and no 100-yard games thereafter, with his catch rate nosediving to 58.7 percent over the final eight games of the regular season even t
Jan 21, 2024
Drop highlights rough end to 2023
Diggs finished with three receptions on eight targets for 21 yards and added one carry for seven yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Diggs' late-season decline continued with another underwhelming stat line off of four touches. The veteran starter's eight targets trailed only fellow wideout Khalil Shakir (7-44-1), who finished Sunday's loss with nine. Diggs' rough night got worse when the star receiver failed to bring in a deep shot attempt that hit him in the hands on the Bills' final drive. The 31-year-old posted his sixth consecutive 1,000-yard campaign in 2023, but his meager 47/422/2 receiving line over Buffalo's last 10 games (including the postseason) hints a possible decline for Diggs heading into 2024.
Jan 19, 2024
Ready for Sunday's game
Diggs (foot/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was a non-participant due to a foot injury and rest for Thursday's practice, but on Friday, coach Sean McDermott told Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network that he wasn't concerned about the wide receiver's health heading into the weekend. Despite logging a limited walkthrough to cap the week, Diggs has been cleared to suit up Sunday, while fellow WR Gabe Davis (knee) won't be available. That could open up more looks from quarterback Josh Allen for Diggs, who was contained to four catches (on 11 targets) for 24 yards by Kansas City in Buffalo's win in Week 14.
Jan 19, 2024
Limited with foot injury Friday
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Diggs (foot) will be limited at practice, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
McDermott said that Diggs' foot injury initially occurred during Monday's 31-17 playoff win over the Steelers, but that the issue popped up more significantly at practice Thursday. While McDermott said the issue doesn't concern him regarding Diggs' availability for Sunday's divisional-round playoff matchup against Kansas City, the veteran wideout's health will warrant close mentoring. With Gabe Davis (knee) already ruled out for Sunday's contest, the Bills would be forced to lean increasingly on Khalil Shakir, Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty if Diggs is hampered at all Sunday.
Jan 15, 2024
Leads team with seven receptions
Diggs finished with seven receptions and 52 yards off of nine targets in Monday's 31-17 playoff win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led all Buffalo receivers in both targets and receptions, but he was outproduced from a fantasy standpoint by rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid's 3/59/1 receiving line. The nine-year pro went ice-cold at the end of the regular season, so Monday's vanilla output didn't inspire confidence that the star wideout has regained his own confidence heading into the divisional round of the playoffs. If there was ever a time for Diggs to drop one of his signature monster receiving games, it would be for Sunday's tilt against the Chiefs, against whom Diggs and several other Bills suffered a crushing loss to in the playoffs roughly two calendar years ago.
Jan 8, 2024
Logs most catches since Week 8
Diggs corralled seven of eight targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Diggs finished Sunday's division-clinching victory with his most yards and receptions in a single game since Weeks 6 and 8, respectively. The vocal superstar didn't sniff the 6/120/3 line he posted when these teams first met in Week 4, but this was still a significant improvement over what we had seen from Diggs over his last four games when he averaged a measly 31.8 yards per game with no trips to the end zone. Perhaps this was the kickstart the 29-year-old needed ahead of next Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Steelers. Diggs ends the regular season with his his sixth consecutive campaign of 1,000-plus receiving yards and fifth straight with at least 100 receptions.
Dec 31, 2023
Four catches in Sunday's win
Diggs caught four of seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots. He added five rushing yards on one carry.
ANALYSIS
The wideout tied Dalton Kincaid for the team lead in targets and catches, but it was the rookie tight end who paced the Bills in receiving yards. Diggs has all but vanished since Buffalo's Week 13 bye, managing just a 17-127-0 line on 31 targets over the last four games, but Sunday's carry -- his first of the season -- at least offers some faint hope that the coaching staff is trying to find ways to get the ball in his hands. Diggs will get one more chance to break out of his slump in Week 18 against a Miami secondary he torched for 120 yards and three TDs in their first meeting this season.
Dec 23, 2023
Lackluster production continues
Diggs recorded five catches on eight targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 24-22 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the team with eight targets, and he's now reached that mark four times in his last five games. However, in that same span, he's topped 50 yards only once and has not reached 100 yards since Week 6. Diggs' downturn in production is alarming and without clear explanation, though the Bills have hit their stride offensively in the last few weeks, providing hope that Diggs can turn things around before the regular season comes to a close.
Dec 17, 2023
Sixth straight 1,000-yard season
Diggs caught four of five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Diggs accounted for four of Josh Allen's seven completions as the Bills overwhelmed Dallas with 266 yards and three touchdowns on the ground while leaving the passing game on the backburner. The star receiver tied his season low in targets, so his modest production in this game can be attributed to a lack of volume, but it continued an alarming trend, as Diggs finished with fewer than 50 receiving yards and no touchdowns for the fourth time in the past five games. Despite the recent slump, Diggs has surpassed the 1,000-yard benchmark for the sixth consecutive season, as he's up to 1,041 receiving yards heading into Saturday's Week 16 matchup with the Chargers.
Dec 10, 2023
Quiet in Week 14 win
Diggs caught four of 11 targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Despite leading the Bills in targets, Diggs didn't make much of an impact as he failed to reach 40 receiving yards for the third time in the last four games. The veteran wideout remains just seven yards short of his sixth straight 1,000-yard season heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cowboys.
Nov 26, 2023
Finds end zone in Philly
Diggs caught six of 11 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
After two disappointing performances against tough secondaries in the Jets and Broncos, Diggs bounced back and saw his first double-digit target volume since Week 8, although it took Josh Allen throwing a season-high 51 passes to do it. The veteran wideout will head into Buffalo's bye on the cusp of his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign, fourth straight season with 100-plus catches and third straight year with 10 or more TDs, having posted an 83-969-8 line on 121 targets through 12 games.
Nov 20, 2023
Disappointing numbers Sunday
Diggs caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The eight targets actually led the Bills, but they didn't turn into much production. Diggs has been quiet to begin the second half of the season, catching only seven of 13 targets for 61 yards and zero TDs over the last two games, but he could break out in Week 12 against an Eagles secondary that's been one of the most generous in the league this season against wideouts.
Nov 13, 2023
Shut down by Broncos in loss
Diggs secured three of five targets for 34 yards in the Bills' 24-22 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was second in receptions and targets and third in receiving yards for the Bills on the night, an unfamiliar position for the typically prolific wideout. The three figures were also season lows for Diggs, who'd been on an upward trajectory yardage-wise heading into the contest with 70- and 86-yard tallies in Weeks 9 and 10. Diggs will aim to bounce back in a Week 11 rematch against a Jets team he posted a 10-102-1 line on in a Week 1 overtime loss.
Nov 11, 2023
No injury designation for Monday
Diggs (back) was not listed on the team's final injury report Saturday and is cleared for Monday's contest against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
It was a bit ominous that Diggs was added to Friday's injury report with a back injury, but fantasy managers can rest a bit easier now that the star wideout does not carry an injury designation into the primetime matchup. For what it's worth, Diggs was listed as a limited participant in practice for a second consecutive day, so while he'll play, it does seem as if the 29-year-old is dealing with a legitimate issue, although Diggs seemed to dismiss the notion that it was serious suggesting the past two days were simply maintenance during a long season. Expect the veteran standout target to see his usual workload in a potential juicy matchup against an up-and-down Denver defense.
Nov 10, 2023
Added to Week 10 injury report
Diggs (back) was limited at practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs practiced fully Thursday, so his addition to the Bills' Week 10 injury report Friday is notable. Added context regarding the wideout's status for Monday night's game against the Broncos will arrive Saturday, but if Diggs is limited or sidelined, added snaps would be available for Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty in a Buffalo WR corps that also includes Gabe Davis and Khalil Shakir.
Nov 5, 2023
Gets into end zone in loss
Diggs brought in six of seven targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 24-18 loss to the Bengals on Sunday night. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the team in receiving yards and also gave the Bills a glimmer of hope with a 17-yard touchdown grab with 3:32 remaining and subsequent two-point conversion catch. The perennial Pro Bowler has a solid 21-214-2 line on 31 targets in the three contests since his four-game streak of 100-yard efforts was snapped, and he'll draw a potentially favorable matchup against the Broncos in a Week 10 Monday night home battle on Nov. 13.
Oct 26, 2023
Busy night in win
Diggs secured nine of 12 targets for 70 yards in the Bills' 24-18 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Diggs tied with Gabe Davis for the team lead in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards. The star wideout wasn't able to get into the end zone for only the second time in five games, but his catch total was his second highest of the campaign. Diggs has also now logged double-digit targets in four consecutive contests heading into a big Week 9 road showdown against the Bengals on Sunday night, Nov. 5.
Oct 22, 2023
Finds end zone in Week 7 loss
Diggs caught six of 12 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Diggs had the presence of mind to get up and keep running after he wasn't touched on a sliding catch, resulting in a 25-yard touchdown to cut New England's lead to 22-17 in the fourth quarter. It was Diggs' sixth touchdown of 2023, putting him on pace for a third consecutive season with double-digit touchdowns. Buffalo's No. 1 receiver has drawn at least 11 targets in five of the team's first seven games, and he should remain heavily involved as the Bills try to bounce back Thursday against the Buccaneers.
Oct 16, 2023
Hits triple digits again
Diggs finished with 10 receptions and 100 yards off 16 targets in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Diggs stayed red hot with his fourth consecutive game recording at least 100 receiving yards. The 29-year-old has generated 620 yards through six weeks, which is good enough to land him among the top five in receiving yards leaguewide. Diggs wasn't the recipient of either of Josh Allen's late touchdown throws Sunday, but he deserves a pass after showering fantasy managers with four scores over the last two weeks. The star wideout could face double teams in coverage next Sunday as the Patriots try to slow Buffalo's hottest weapon on offense, but Diggs remains a must-start in fantasy.
Oct 8, 2023
Tops century mark again
Diggs caught eight of 11 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The Buffalo offense stayed on the plane for most of the first half of the game in London, but Diggs got into the end zone late in the second quarter to get his squad on the board, then was Josh Allen's favorite target after halftime as the Bills tried to mount a comeback. Diggs has topped 100 receiving yards in four of five games to begin the season while scoring five TDs, and he doesn't figure to slow down in Week 6 against the struggling Giants.
Oct 1, 2023
Three-touchdown breakout in win
Diggs secured six of seven targets for 120 yards and three touchdowns in the Bills' 48-20 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout served early notice it would be a banner day, recording 11- and 55-yard scoring grabs in the second quarter. Diggs added a 13-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter for good measure, making it his first game with three visits to the end zone since Week 2 against the Titans last season. Diggs has three 100-yard efforts in the first four games of the season, and he now takes his act across the Atlantic for a Week 5 date in London against a tough Jaguars defense.
Sep 24, 2023
Tops 100 yards in blowout win
Diggs caught eight of 12 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 37-3 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Diggs set up a field goal with a 30-yard catch on the opening drive and ultimately topped 100 receiving yards for the second time in three games. Buffalo's No. 1 receiver has 25 catches on 32 targets for 279 yards and one touchdown through three weeks heading into a Week 4 visit from fellow star wideout Tyreek Hill and the AFC East rival Dolphins.
Sep 17, 2023
Mediocre day in blowout win
Diggs recorded seven catches on seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was extremely efficient in turning his targets into receptions, but there wasn't much production to follow. His longest gain of the day went for 17 yards, but three of his catches went for under 10 yards. After commanding 13 targets in Week 1, Josh Allen also distributed the ball around to more pass catchers -- another contributing factor to the relative down performance. Even so, this game illustrated Diggs' extremely high floor for fantasy purposes.
Sep 12, 2023
Shines in tough matchup
Diggs caught 10 of 13 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Diggs gave the Bills a 10-3 lead with a five-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Four turnovers by quarterback Josh Allen had the Bills on the ropes down the stretch in regulation, but Diggs came up clutch late with three catches for 40 yards in the two-minute drill to set up a game-tying field goal, though Buffalo ultimately fell short in overtime. The star receiver was undaunted by a tough matchup against cornerback Sauce Gardner and the stout New York secondary while no teammate had more than 32 receiving yards. Locked in as the top receiver in Buffalo's high-powered passing game, Diggs should find more space to operate in Week 2 against the Raiders at home.
Aug 26, 2023
Looks good on only drive
Diggs caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason game at Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Diggs and QB Josh Allen played just one drive and led the Bills to a quick touchdown. They'll get a bigger challenge Week 1 at the Jets on Monday Night Football, facing a talented Gang Green defense that features one of the best cornerback duos in the league -- Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed.
Aug 24, 2023
In line to play Saturday
Coach Sean McDermott relayed Thursday that the Bills' starters will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears. In last weekend's exhibition loss to the Steelers, Diggs logged 13 snaps en route to recording two catches on five targets for 22 yards.
ANALYSIS
Though Buffalo's starters are on track to see action versus Chicago, chances are Diggs and co. won't see extensive action Saturday. Once the wideout gets his reps in, his focus will shift to preparing for the team's regular-season opener against the Jets. As the coming campaign approaches, Diggs remains entrenched as the Bills' No. 1 option in a WR corps that also features Gabe Davis, with Khalil Shakir, Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty also in the mix.
Aug 19, 2023
Renews connection with Allen
Diggs recorded two receptions on five targets for 22 yards in Saturday's 27-15 preseason loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Diggs played three series with Josh Allen and quickly racked up five targets. He was inefficient with the opportunity, though the proven rapport between the duo means there's no cause for concern. Diggs will likely take the field next for a Week 1 matchup against the Jets.
Aug 17, 2023
In line to play Saturday
Coach Sean McDermott indicated Thursday that the Bills starters will play about "a quarter and a half" in Saturday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Alec White of the team's official site reports. Diggs didn't play in last weekend's exhibition opener against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, QB Josh Allen will also face the Steelers after sitting out versus Indianapolis last Saturday. There's a solid chance that Diggs' only exhibition action ends up being against Pittsburgh, but McDermott noted Thursday that he sees value in playing starters during the preseason. "Simply put, it's to get them ready for the season."
Aug 10, 2023
Won't play this weekend
Diggs won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Sean McDermott said he'll play most of his starters but not Diggs or QB Josh Allen. They're the team's two most important players and seem to have moved past whatever was responsible for offseason reports of friction between them. Diggs is almost always taken in the first round of fantasy drafts, as one might expect of a player who has recorded no fewer than 103 catches, 1,225 yards and eight touchdowns in three seasons since the Vikings traded him to the Bills. He showed no signs of slowing down last year in his age-28/29 season, scoring a career-high 11 TDs among his 108 receptions.
Jul 26, 2023
Smooth sailing to open camp
Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Diggs and the Bills are "on the same page," Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs missed time early during mandatory minicamp last month, and McDermott said Wednesday that his frustrations stemmed from the team's playoff loss last season, adding that the issue is now resolved. "Water under the bridge now," McDermott said, "and we're back at work." Diggs, for his part, said Wednesday that things are "100 percent" resolved and he'd like to retire in Buffalo. With all parties on the same page to begin training camp, Diggs once again finds himself well situated to repeat as one of the most productive wide receivers in the league. The 29-year-old put up an outstanding 108-1,429-11 receiving line in 16 appearances last season.

Coach says situation resolved
Bills coach Sean McDermott said following Wednesday's minicamp practice, which Diggs attended, that the situation between the player and the team is "resolved" and that McDermott was the one who excused Diggs from Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs participated in individual but not team drills Wednesday, though it sounds like there's not an injury in play here and the constituents are at least trying to move past whatever has been stuck in Diggs' craw. Since Diggs, McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen have all been pretty mum about the details, we can only assume at this point that Diggs is still upset over his decreased usage in the second half of last season and/or the team's dud of a playoff performance in a loss against the Bengals. That all said, it sounds like everyone involved at least hopes to hit the ground running once training camp rolls around in July. Should that happen, Diggs will once again be one of the top receivers off the board in almost any fantasy draft.
Jun 14, 2023
Back at practice
Diggs participated in Wednesday's minicamp practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was noticeably absent from the Bills' first mandatory minicamp practice Tuesday, prompting coach Sean McDermott to note his concern regarding the situation. However, a day later Diggs was back on the field. As long as he is available, the 29-year-old remains on track to head the team's wideout corps, on the heels of a 108-catch effort in 2022.
Jun 13, 2023
Absent from minicamp
The Bills confirmed that Diggs was at the team's facility Monday as well as Tuesday morning, but then left before Tuesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
At this stage, it's unclear why the wideout isn't at the team's mandatory minicamp, but coach Sean McDermott has called Diggs' absence "very concerning." During the 2022 season, Diggs -- who signed a four-year, $96 million extension last April -- caught 108 passes (on 154 targets) for 1,429 yards and 11 TDs in 16 games. When available, the 29-year-old is slated to continue to lead a Buffalo wide receiver corps that also includes Gabe Davis, Khalil Shakir, Trent Sherfield, Deonte Harty and Justin Shorter.
Jun 13, 2023
Not at mandatory minicamp
Diggs isn't present for mandatory minicamp, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sean McDermott told reporters he's "very concerned" by Diggs' absence, though the Bills head coach didn't provide an explanation for why the star wideout isn't present. This isn't necessarily a contract dispute, considering Diggs signed a four-year extension last spring. The 29-year-old hasn't participated in voluntary team activities this year, though that's not exactly abnormal for a veteran player of his caliber.
Apr 18, 2023
Not at Bills' voluntary workouts
General manager Brandon Beane confirmed Diggs didn't report for the start of the Bills' offseason workout program Monday, according to Matt Parrino of New York Upstate.
ANALYSIS
It's important to note that these workouts are voluntary, but even Josh Allen is in attendance, and it's always notable when a potentially disgruntled star player chooses not to attend. Diggs has posted cryptic tweets this offseason after showing his frustration following the Bills' divisional round loss to the Bengals in the playoffs last season. However, he just signed a four-year extension through 2027 with Buffalo last offseason. There's been no indication that the Bills plan to trade their star wideout.
Jan 22, 2023
Held in check Sunday
Diggs caught just four of 10 targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was kept quiet as quarterback Josh Allen went without a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 9. Despite usually being Buffalo's most dangerous target, Diggs finished fourth on the team in receiving yards Sunday, even trailing rookie fifth-rounder Khalil Shakir. Although his season ends in disappointing fashion, Diggs turned in another monster campaign in 2022, posting at least 103 catches, 1,225 receiving yards and eight touchdowns for the third straight year since joining the Bills.
Jan 15, 2023
Big first half Sunday
Diggs caught seven of nine targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
ANALYSIS
Diggs enjoyed a big first half, with all seven of his catches coming prior to halftime. That total included a 52-yard bomb to set up Buffalo's opening touchdown early on. Even though he garnered just one look during the second half, Diggs still led the Bills in receiving yards and should remain a big factor as they advance to the AFC divisional round.
Jan 8, 2023
Scores 11th TD in Week 18
Diggs caught seven of 10 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-23 win over New England.
ANALYSIS
Diggs gave the Bills some breathing room with a 49-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. He finishes the regular season with 108 catches for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns on 154 targets. Diggs will look to build on his stellar season when the Bills host the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
Dec 30, 2022
Returns to practice
Diggs (illness) returned to practice Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs sat out Thursday's practice, but his ability to return the next day suggests his availability for Monday's game against the Bengals isn't in jeopardy. That notion won't be fully confirmed until the Bills release their final injury report Saturday, though.
Dec 29, 2022
Missing practice Thursday
Diggs (illness) won't practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Getzenberg adds that coach Sean McDermott indicated that the Bills hope to have the wideout back on the field sooner rather than later this week, but Diggs' status is now worth monitoring as Monday night's game against the Bengals approaches. In his last outing, Diggs caught both of his targets for 26 yards in the team's 35-13 win over the Bears this past Saturday.
Dec 24, 2022
Underwhelming numbers in win
Diggs secured both targets for 26 yards in the Bills' 35-13 win over the Bears on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs endured a rough afternoon in the frigid conditions of Soldier Field, turning in his lowest reception and yardage totals of the season. Josh Allen spread the ball around to nine different players overall, helping to keep Diggs' numbers modest. The first opportunity for Diggs to bounce back comes in a Week 17 road showdown against the Bengals on Monday night, Jan. 2.
Dec 18, 2022
Disappoints on nine targets
Diggs recorded five receptions on nine targets for 60 yards in Saturday's 32-29 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led Buffalo with nine targets, though he managed only 6.7 yards per target. His biggest gain of the day came on a 20-yard catch early in the second quarter, but he was otherwise limited to short areas of the field. Diggs will remain the most consistent part of the Buffalo offense which gives him a safe floor of production, but he has failed to reach 100 receiving yards in each of his last five games, and he's also reached 90 yards just once in that span.
Dec 11, 2022
Limited output in Week 14 win
Diggs caught three of five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
After being held to four yards in the first half, Diggs promptly broke free for a 31-yard gain on Buffalo's second play of the third quarter, but he added just one more catch for two yards after that. He's far from the only prominent wide receiver to struggle against the Sauce Gardner-led Jets secondary, so Diggs should bounce back in Week 15 against the Dolphins, who allowed seven catches for 74 yards to Buffalo's No. 1 receiver in Miami's Week 3 win.
Dec 1, 2022
Paces pass catchers in win
Diggs secured seven of nine targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 24-10 win over the Patriots on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Diggs paced the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he brought in one of Josh Allen's two eight-yard first-half scoring tosses. The talented veteran wideout now has at least seven receptions in three of the last four games, and he's scored in three consecutive contests as well heading into a Week 14 home divisional showdown against the Jets a week from Sunday.
Nov 24, 2022
Finds end zone again
Diggs caught eight of 15 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
After struggling to make a mark in the first half, Diggs came up huge down the stretch, catching a five-yard TD pass with less than three minutes left in the fourth quarter before hauling in a 36-yard strike from Josh Allen with 23 seconds left to help set up Tyler Bass' game-winning field goal. Diggs now has nine touchdowns on the season, one short of his career high, and he's also on pace for personal bests in catches and receiving yards heading into a crucial Week 13 road tilt against the Patriots.
Nov 20, 2022
Salvages quiet day with TD
Diggs brought in four of five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-23 win over the Browns on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was frustrated through almost the entirety of the first half, even leading to a sideline conference with head coach Sean McDermott that was caught on camera. However, he secured a five-yard touchdown grab just before the end of the first half to break the ice, and he went on to put together a reasonably productive second half relative to Allen's modest production overall. Diggs will aim for a more prolific effort in the same venue when the Bills return to Ford Field to tangle with the Lions on Thanksgiving afternoon.
Nov 13, 2022
Makes 12 catches in Week 10
Diggs caught 12 of 16 targets for 128 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
While Diggs' longest catch went for only 25 yards, he consistently got open on short and intermediate routes to help the Bills march down the field. Buffalo led 27-10 in the third quarter before momentum swung Minnesota's way, but Diggs still crossed the 100-yard threshold for the sixth time in nine games. It wouldn't be surprising to see a similar performance from Josh Allen's favorite target at home against Cleveland in Week 11.
Nov 6, 2022
Seven yards short of 100 in loss
Diggs caught five of 10 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Diggs immediately introduced himself to rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner by running by him for a 42-yard gain on Buffalo's first offensive play. He spent most of the game matched up on D.J. Reed on the opposite side, though, and Reed did a decent job defending Diggs, highlighted by a key pass breakup with the game tied at 17 in the fourth quarter. Diggs came seven yards short of extending his triple-digit receiving yardage streak to four games, but he'll remain a set-and-forget option at wide receiver against the Vikings in Week 10.
Oct 31, 2022
Wins tough matchup on SNF
Diggs corralled six of eight targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
The matchup between Diggs and Jaire Alexander was highlighted prior to Sunday night's tilt, and the billing lived up to the hype after the two star players were locked in a heated verbal and physical battle from start to finish. Diggs got the last laugh after producing his third straight 100-plus yard performance with a touchdown in a victory for his squad. The 28-year-old now boasts a massive 55/764/7 line through seven games. Diggs is as good as WR1s come heading into a matchup against the Jets next Sunday.
Oct 29, 2022
May face worthy adversary
Diggs will likely see some of his coverage against Green Bay's Jaire Alexander on Sunday night, Grace Heidinger of the Bills' official site reports. Said the receiver: "He's definitely a competitor, he's a guy that competes at a high level, he finishes play, he's fast," Diggs said on Alexander. "So going against corners, I see the best corner every week."
ANALYSIS
Alexander usually goes up against the opponent's best receiver, something everyone is expecting when the Bills meet the Packers in Week 8. While the matchup with the reeling Packers looks juicy for Diggs managers, this is something to keep in mind. Also, as much as Green Bay is struggling, the pass defense is ranked first in the NFL, while the run defense has getting gouged on a regular basis and ranks 27th. Diggs is nearly impossible to keep down, but we also wouldn't be surprised if this turns into one of his more modest days, especially if the heavily favored Bills jump out to a big lead.
Oct 16, 2022
Comes up big against KC
Diggs caught 10 of 13 targets for 148 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
For the second straight game and the fourth time this season, Diggs piled up more than 100 receiving yards and a touchdown, with his 17-yard TD grab midway through the third quarter Sunday giving the Bills a 17-10 lead. The 28-year-old will heading into Buffalo's Week 7 bye as one of only four wideouts in the league with more than 600 receiving yards through six games alongside Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill and Cooper Kupp.
Oct 9, 2022
Eclipses century mark in win
Diggs brought in eight of 11 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 38-3 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs comfortably paced the Bills in receptions and targets while checking in second to Gabe Davis in receiving yards. The All-Pro wideout also recorded his first touchdown grab since Week 2 on a 15-yard scoring connection with Josh Allen in the second quarter, and the 100-yard tally was his third of the season overall. Diggs will carry an elite 39-508-5 line into a Week 6 road showdown against the Chiefs.
Oct 2, 2022
Modest showing in Week 4 win
Diggs secured four of six targets for 62 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs turned in a relatively quiet performance by his lofty standards, even though his reception, yardage and target totals all paced or co-led the Bills on the afternoon. The Ravens did a solid job containing Buffalo's normally potent air attack overall, so the lack of prolific numbers for Diggs wasn't exactly surprising. Despite the modest showing, Diggs still eclipsed the 60-yard mark for the fourth time in as many games this season, and he'll aim to boost his numbers back up across the board at the expense of the Steelers in a Week 5 home matchup.
Sep 28, 2022
Good to go for Week 4
Diggs isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
This confirms Diggs was only dealing with cramps when he missed a bunch of snaps in the second half of Sunday's loss in Miami. He finished with seven catches for 74 yards on 11 targets and 70 percent of snaps, after piling up 270 yards and four TDs the first two weeks of the season. The Bills have taken Diggs off the field a decent amount this year, but mostly on run plays, and he might not have to deal with hot weather again all season.
Sep 25, 2022
Deals with dehydration late
Diggs secured seven of 11 targets for 74 yards in the Bills' 21-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, the star receiver exited the game late with what appeared to be cramping and was seen laying on the sideline.
ANALYSIS
Diggs turned in his usual impressive statistical effort in the hotly contested divisional battle, but he simply appeared to run out of gas in the humid South Florida climate at a critical juncture in the game. Before exiting, Diggs was typically productive and led the Bills wideouts in targets while tying for second in receptions with Isaiah McKenzie. Assuming he's back to health, Diggs should be a full go for a road showdown with the Bills in Week 4.
Sep 19, 2022
Three TDs in blowout win
Diggs caught 12 of 14 targets for 148 yards and three touchdowns in Monday's 41-7 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Diggs got wide open in the end zone for a four-yard touchdown on fourth down in the second quarter. In the third, he got behind the Titans secondary for a 46-yard touchdown, then kept his concentration to secure a bobbling catch for a 14-yard touchdown. Josh Allen's top target in the high-powered Bills passing game has opened the season with 20 catches for 270 yards and four touchdowns through two games. Even a date with shutdown Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard in Week 3 is unlikely to slow Diggs down.
Sep 8, 2022
Long TD in season-opening win
Diggs brought in eight of nine targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-10 win over the Rams on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Diggs' near-perfect opening night was punctuated by a 53-yard touchdown grab down the right side of the field in the fourth quarter that served as the final score of the night. Diggs flew by Jalen Ramsey on a play where the star cornerback appeared to be expecting deep help, a microcosm of a night where almost everything went right for Buffalo. Diggs' reception, yardage and target totals were all team highs, affording him no shortage of momentum going into a Week 2 home battle against the Titans on Monday night, Sept. 19.
Aug 26, 2022
Candidate to rest in preseason finale
Coach Sean McDermott relayed Wednesday that QB Josh Allen, along with many of the Bills' key starters, a group that presumably includes Diggs, won't suit up for Friday's preseason finale against the Panthers,Alec White of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As Week 1 approaches, Diggs and Gabriel Davis clearly top the Bills' wideout depth chart, so the coaching staff's focus Friday (in terms of the position) figures to be evaluated the team's complementary options ahead of looming roster cuts. Once the regular season commences, Diggs' high-volume role in an Allen-helmed offense will continue to yield high level fantasy dividends.
Aug 20, 2022
Two catches in preseason game
Diggs caught two receptions for 33 yards on two targets in Buffalo's preseason game against Denver on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
It was a breezy tuneup game for the Bills offense, and Diggs was unsurprisingly among those who produced in his brief showing. Even with the seeming emergence of teammate Gabriel Davis (two catches for 47 yards and one touchdown on three targets), Diggs is clearly poised to produce as one of the top fantasy receivers again in 2022.
Aug 13, 2022
Likely unavailable Saturday
Diggs is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills seemingly are choosing not to play the majority of their starters to open the preseason. Expect Khalil Shakir, Isaiah Hodgins and Jake Kumerow to see extensive work among the Bills' pass catchers.
Apr 6, 2022
Secures four-year extension
Diggs agreed to terms on a four-year, $104 million contract extension with the Bills on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs still had two years remaining on his five-year, $72 million contract, but after seeing the wide receiver market undergo a sea change this offseason, Buffalo decided not to wait things out. The four-year extension adds onto Diggs' previous contract, tying him to the Bills for the next six seasons. Diggs, who hasn't missed a regular-season game in his two years with Buffalo, racked up a career-high 1,535 receiving yards in 2020, and he set another career mark with 10 touchdowns in 2021. The 28-year-old will continue to enjoy his position as Josh Allen's top target heading into the 2022 campaign, a combination which has proven highly valuable for fantasy purposes.
Jan 24, 2022
Dismal showing in playoff loss
Diggs caught three of six targets for seven yards and added a two-point conversion in Sunday's 42-36 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The Chiefs made sure Diggs wouldn't be the player that beat them Sunday, allowing Gabriel Davis to have the game of his life (201 yards and four touchdowns) instead. Diggs still managed to make an impact by giving the Bills a three-point lead with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter by catching a two-point conversion in the back of the end zone. The teams exchanged 17 more points after that to get to overtime, where the Chiefs found the end zone to knock out Diggs and the Bills. He should resume his highly productive role as Josh Allen's top target next season, but this poor performance in the biggest game of the season will leave a sour taste in Diggs' mouth.
Jan 16, 2022
Quiet night in blowout win
Diggs brought in three of four targets for 60 yards during the Bills' 47-17 win over the Patriots in an AFC wild-card matchup Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
The odds on Diggs not being on the receiving end of at least one score on a night when Josh Allen tossed five touchdowns were probably remote, but that's exactly what transpired in the blowout victory. The multi-time Pro Bowler did check in tied for second in receptions and as the runner-up in receiving yards behind Dawson Knox, but the fact Allen spread the wealth around and Buffalo also wasn't forced to pass much in the second half capped Diggs' fantasy contributions overall. The 28-year-old will have a chance to boost his production in a divisional-round battle versus either the Chiefs or Bengals next weekend.
Jan 10, 2022
Scores 10th TD in win
Diggs caught nine of 14 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
He opened the scoring early in the first quarter on a 10-yard strike from Josh Allen, giving Diggs a career-high 10 TDs on the season. He also surpassed 100 receptions for the third time in the last four seasons, winding up with 103 catches on 164 targets for 1,225 yards. Diggs should be heavily involved again Saturday when the Bills host the Patriots in the wild-card round.
Jan 2, 2022
Five receptions in win
Diggs brought in five of nine targets for 52 yards in the Bills' 29-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He was also sacked on a pass attempt.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day in which Josh Allen completed well under 50.0 percent of his passes and threw for just 120 yards at 4.6 yards per attempt. The 28-year-old has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in five of the last six games, but he did see a two-game touchdown streak snapped Sunday. He'll have one more chance to tune up for the postseason in Week 18 against a Jets defense that he posted a season-best 162-yard effort on back in Week 10.
Dec 26, 2021
Finds end zone in win over Pats
Diggs caught seven of 13 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-21 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Diggs gave Buffalo a 17-7 second-quarter lead with a 12-yard touchdown catch, and his 19-yard catch in the fourth to convert 3rd-and-10 deep in Patriots territory set up Dawson Knox's game-sealing two-yard touchdown two plays later. The star wide receiver was targeted 13 times for the fourth time this season, matching his season high. Diggs has eight touchdowns in his last 10 games and will have an excellent opportunity to get right back into the end zone in Week 17 against the porous Falcons secondary.
Dec 19, 2021
Scores in tough matchup
Diggs caught four passes for 35 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against Carolina on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Often matching up against top corner Stephon Gilmore while his quarterback dealt with both a tweaked foot and a relentless pass rush, Diggs had a difficult assignment Sunday against the Panthers. A player with his talent and usage often has a high floor even in unfavorable situations, and this game was a good example of that. A road matchup against J.C. Jackson and the Patriots isn't any easier in Week 16, but Diggs has a recent history of getting the better of the Patriots, including at New England in 2020 (nine catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns on 11 targets).
Dec 12, 2021
Team-high yardage total in loss
Diggs secured seven of 13 targets for 74 yards in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs' yardage total paced the Bills on a busy day for the passing game, one that saw Josh Allen put the ball up on 54 occasions overall. The multi-time Pro Bowler's target total also led the team and tied for a season high. Despite the solid production, Diggs has now fallen short of the 100-yard mark in four straight games and eight of his last nine contests overall, leaving fantasy managers counting on him in their upcoming postseason contests hoping for a much-needed breakout effort in Week 15 at home against the Panthers.
Dec 6, 2021
Makes four catches
Diggs caught four of seven targets for 51 yards in Monday night's 14-10 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the Bills in all major receiving categories despite extreme wind heavily restricting the passing game. While Diggs managed a game-long catch of 26 yards, he also narrowly missed out on a deeper touchdown during the third quarter. Given the bad weather as well as a tough matchup versus the Patriots, his overall performance was commendable, but warmer conditions could prove more favorable in Week 14 versus the Buccaneers.
Nov 26, 2021
Seven catches in holiday win
Diggs brought in seven of nine targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-6 win over the Saints on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Diggs paced the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night and notched his seventh touchdown of the campaign on a five-yard grab early in the third quarter. The star wideout has posted at least five receptions in five of the last six contests, and with four touchdowns in the last three games, he heads into a Week 13 showdown with the Patriots on Monday night, Dec. 6.
Nov 21, 2021
Two short TDs in blowout loss
Diggs caught four of six targets for 23 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-15 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Diggs' pair of scores salvaged a strong fantasy performance out of a subpar showing from the Bills in every phase of the game. He did well to get his feet down along the sideline to secure a six-yard touchdown in the first quarter and added a nine-yard score in the fourth, but it was all Colts in between. After scoring just one touchdown through five games this season, Diggs has found the end zone five times in the last five games heading into a Thanksgiving road tilt in New Orleans.
Nov 14, 2021
Season-high yardage total in win
Diggs caught eight of 13 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Diggs did a significant chunk of his damage in the two-minute drill to close out the first half. With the Bills leading only 10-3, he hauled in a 47-yard deep ball before catching a 12-yard touchdown four plays later. That turned out to be the first of four consecutive Bills touchdowns, with the next three all coming on the ground in the third quarter. Diggs hasn't been able to replicate last year's phenomenal season, as he came in with just one other 100-yard receiving performance -- a 114-yard effort against Houston in Week 4. While he's proven he can beat up on the dregs of the NFL, Diggs is still searching for a signature performance against quality competition, which he'll look to deliver in Week 11 against the Colts.
Nov 7, 2021
Solid showing
Diggs caught six passes for 85 yards on eight targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The Jaguars shocked Buffalo with a 9-6 upset and obliterated basically every component of the Bills offense, the one exception being Diggs. He led Buffalo in receiving yards, catching 75 percent of his targets at 10.6 yards per target on a day where quarterback Josh Allen completed just 66 percent of his passes at 5.6 yards per attempt. Admirably as Diggs played for his own part, it's still a disappointing box score and a missed opportunity in a season where Diggs has yet to truly break out the way he did in 2020. He'll have another good shot to do so against the Jets in Week 10.
Oct 31, 2021
Gets into end zone Sunday
Diggs secured five of seven targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 26-11 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The star wideout was often held in check throughout the contest by some tough coverage from the Dolphins secondary, but Diggs managed to salvage his fantasy day with a 19-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter. While he was otherwise quiet, Diggs now has touchdown catches in consecutive games after finding the end zone only once through the first five contests of the campaign. He'll next look to exploit a vulnerable Jaguars secondary in a Week 9 home matchup.
Oct 18, 2021
Scores in close loss
Diggs caught 9 of 11 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-31 loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the Bills in receptions and targets on a night when he, Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley all topped 85 yards through the air. However, it was Diggs who scored Buffalo's first touchdown of the game, hauling in a 14-yard slant during the second quarter. The star wideout then drew a pass-interference call on a deep pass during the second half, setting up a one-yard score a few plays later. Despite not being able to return home with a victory Monday, Diggs arguably put together his best performance through six games this season, sending him into his bye week on a positive personal note.
Oct 3, 2021
Tops 100 yards
Diggs recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 114 yards in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Diggs had logged only one reception of more than 20 yards across the first three contests. However, he managed long receptions of 37 and 31 yards against the Texans to top 100 receiving yards for the first time in a game this season. His performance is even more impressive considering that he and several of the Bills' key offensive players were on the field for only one offensive possession in the fourth quarter. That isn't likely to be the case in a Week 5 matchup against the Chiefs, a showdown that should give the Bills the chance to open up its offense.
Sep 26, 2021
Solid line in blowout win
Diggs secured six of 10 targets for 62 yards in the Bills' 43-21 win over Washington on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs turned in a relatively vanilla stat line by his lofty standards, although his numbers were still useful to fantasy managers rostering him in PPR formats in particular. The star receiver has been partly victimized by the Bills' passing attack not taking center stage thus far this season until Sunday, but it was still disappointing to see him fail to score on a day Josh Allen threw four touchdowns. Diggs will look to boost his overall numbers back up at the expense of the vulnerable Texans in Week 4.
Sep 19, 2021
Finds end zone in blowout win
Diggs caught four of eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-0 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Diggs scored from five yards out in the first quarter but it's disappointing that he wasn't more involved after that given Buffalo's success offensively. The Bills relied primarily on the ground game in the blowout win, but Diggs remains the team's clear top option in the passing game. After battling two of the league's top secondaries in the Steelers and Dolphins, Diggs should find more space to work with in Week 3 against Washington.
Sep 12, 2021
Leads receivers in loss
Diggs brought in nine of 13 targets for 69 yards in the Bills' 23-16 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but he averaged a pedestrian 7.7 yards per catch in the process. The Pro Bowl wideout is likely to pace Buffalo air attack on plenty of weeks this season, although he should have a markedly easier time on many weeks as compared to his matchup versus the suffocating Steelers defense. Diggs will look to boost his overall numbers in a Week 2 battle versus the Dolphins, although Miami also boasts a deep and experienced secondary.
Sep 8, 2021
Not on injury report
Diggs (knee) isn't listed on the Bills' Week 1 injury report, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills proceeded cautiously with Diggs as their preseason slate concluded, but Wednesday's injury report confirms that he's slated to play in Sunday's season opener against the Steelers. Diggs, who logged a fantasy-friendly 127 catches for 1,535 yards and eight TDs in 16 games last season, is slated to reprise his role as the Bills' top pass-catching option in 2021, headlining a wideout corps that also includes Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis.
Aug 28, 2021
Not playing
Diggs (knee) isn't in uniform for Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay, WIVB's Josh Reed reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs went through pregame warmups in uniform but won't actually play in the contest. Emmanuel Sanders, Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley are all playing, and Diggs should be back from his minor knee injury for Week 1 against Pittsburgh.
Aug 28, 2021
Going through warmups
Diggs (knee) is in uniform and going through pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's preseason matchup with Green Bay, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Between minor injuries and the reserve/COVID-19 list, Buffalo has rarely had its top four wideouts available at the same time this summer. However, all four could be out there Saturday afternoon, with Diggs joined in pregame warmups by Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis. The Bills haven't seemed worried about Diggs' Week 1 status at any point, despite the recent absences from practice.
Aug 22, 2021
Catches passes at practice
Diggs (knee) caught passes from Josh Allen during Sunday's walkthrough practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills wore jerseys (sans pads) and shorts, but Diggs' presence was an encouraging sign as he looks to put a knee injury behind him. The issue has kept him out of practice since Aug. 9, a span in which he missed the team's first two preseason games. It's unclear if coach Sean McDermott will entertain the thought of getting Diggs some in-game reps in Saturday's exhibition finale Saturday against the Packers, but the wide receiver's progress this week will be one to monitor closely to get a sense of his health.
Aug 22, 2021
Closing in on return to practice
Coach Sean McDermott said Diggs (knee) won't take part in practice Sunday, but the wide receiver is "trending in the right direction," Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sidelined since Aug. 9 due to a knee injury, Diggs has missed all on-field work, including practices and two preseason games, in the interim. McDermott hasn't made a decision on whether Josh Allen will be allowed to play in the Bills' exhibition capper Saturday against the Packers, but it could be tied to Diggs' own availability. Thus, if Diggs makes the requisite progress this week, there's a chance Allen and Diggs will get a possession or two of in-game reps prior to Week 1.
Aug 19, 2021
Out for Saturday
Diggs (knee) could return to practice soon but won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Chicago, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs wouldn't be playing in the game even if he was healthy, as the Bills are holding out QB Josh Allen and some other key veteran starters. There hasn't been any indication Diggs' knee injury is serious, though he's now been absent from practice for about a week and a half.
Aug 15, 2021
Still sidelined Sunday
Diggs (knee) will be held out of Sunday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been sidelined for nearly a week due to a knee issue, but coach Sean McDermott is of the belief it won't impact his availability for the regular season. Considering the cautious approach the Bills are taking with Diggs, he may not be a candidate to see any preseason action this month, with an eye toward having him out there Week 1. He displayed an instant rapport with Josh Allen in his first season with the team in 2020, compiling 127 catches (on 166 targets) for 1,535 yards and eight touchdowns.
Aug 9, 2021
Misses practice
Diggs missed Monday's practice with a knee injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the first report of any injury for Diggs this summer, though he did reveal in May that he played through a torn oblique in the playoffs last season. He had 311 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the three playoff games, and prior to Monday's absence he appeared to be enjoying a healthy training camp.

Misses practice
Diggs missed Monday's practice with a knee injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the first report of any injury for Diggs this summer, though he did reveal in May that he played through a torn oblique in the playoffs last season. He had 311 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the three playoff games, and prior to Monday's absence he appeared to be enjoying a healthy training camp.
May 9, 2021
Played through torn oblique
Diggs shared via his personal Twitter account Sunday that he played through a torn oblique in the playoffs last season.
ANALYSIS
Despite the injury, Diggs put up 311 receiving yards and two touchdowns in three playoff games, though he was held to 77 yards in the AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs. He was limited in practice with the oblique injury throughout the playoffs, but the severity of the injury was greater than Diggs let on at the time. Considering he was playing through the injury back in January, Diggs should be healthy heading into the 2021 season.
Jan 25, 2021
Modest output in final game of 2020
Diggs had six receptions (11 targets) for 77 yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
ANALYSIS
Josh Allen and the Bills' offensive line struggled against Kansas City's defense, resulting in modest outputs for the skill position players, Diggs included. In fact, the 26-year-old's final line was bolstered by an acrobatic big play that was made in garbage time. Despite a bitter finish, Diggs produced career highs in receptions (127), yards (1,535) and targets (166) while scoring eight times across 16 games. It is a rare occurrence to claim that a receiver that is as highly regarded as Diggs "broke out" in 2020, but that's exactly what happened after being traded to Buffalo last offseason. Allen and Diggs lifted each other's game to new levels, firmly placing each in the elite tier of their respective positions heading into the 2021 season.
Jan 22, 2021
Healthy for conference championship
Diggs (oblique) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Diggs followed the same practice pattern as last week, going LP, LP, FP. The lingering oblique issue hasn't slowed him down, with Diggs catching 14 passes for 234 yards and two TDs in two playoff games.
Jan 21, 2021
Limited again in practice
Diggs (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been listed on the injury report with the same oblique injury throughout the playoffs, catching 14 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns while playing 93 and 82 percent of snaps. The limited practice participation shouldn't impact his role in the AFC Championship Game, where he'll face a Chiefs defense that could be missing CB Bashaud Breeland (concussion/shoulder).
Jan 20, 2021
Logs limited practice
Diggs (oblique) was limited at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs logged limited practice sessions last Tuesday and Wednesday before being listed as a full participant Thursday. As a result he approached this past Saturday's divisional-round win over the Ravens minus an injury designation, en route to catching eight of his 11 targets for 106 yards and a TD, while seeing action on 47 of Buffalo's 57 snaps on offense. With no reported setbacks in that contest, we'll assume that Diggs' listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related and that he's in no danger of missing Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Kansas City.
Jan 16, 2021
Scores in divisional-round win
Diggs corralled eight of 11 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 17-3 divisional-round win against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
An oblique injury kept Diggs limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, but he entered the weekend devoid of an injury designation after practicing in full Thursday. The first-time Pro Bowl receiver got the festivities started immediately with a 13-yard catch on the Bills' opening play from scrimmage, and he proceeded to establish four receptions for 59 yards in the first half. It was his three-yard TD catch on Buffalo's first drive out of the halftime break that proved to be Diggs' most vital contribution, however. The 27-year-old is red-hot heading into the AFC Championship Game, with 100-plus receiving yards over five of his past six games, as well as a total of six TDs since Week 14. Buffalo hasn't faced Cleveland yet this season. Against the Bills' other potential opponent, Kansas City, Diggs totaled six catches for 46 yards and a TD in Week 6.
Jan 14, 2021
Ready for divisional round
Diggs (oblique) practiced fully Thursday and does not have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs is probably the most important factor on the team after Josh Allen, and it looks like he'll be close to 100 percent for the biggest game the Bills have had in a over two decades.
Jan 13, 2021
Back-to-back limited sessions
Diggs (oblique) was listed as limited again for Wednesday's practice session.
ANALYSIS
Diggs played through the injury in last week's playoff win over the Colts and posted a 6-128-1 line, so even if he ends up receiving a questionable tag, we wouldn't be too worried about his status for Saturday's big game.
Jan 12, 2021
Limited to start week
Diggs (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Diggs dealt with the same injury last week, logging just one limited practice before catching six of nine targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in the 27-24 win over Indianapolis. He played 93 percent of snaps in the contest and should see a similar workload Saturday night against the Ravens.
Jan 9, 2021
Tops 100 yards with a TD
Diggs (oblique) caught six of nine targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-24 wild-card round win over the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Diggs showed no signs of the oblique injury that had him listed as questionable coming into the game, leading all receivers from either side in yards, including a 35-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter. The league's regular season receiving leader carried his momentum over into the postseason, and Diggs should continue to serve as the focal point of Buffalo's pass-heavy offense in the AFC divisional round next week.
Jan 9, 2021
Suiting up Saturday
Diggs (oblique) is listed as active Saturday against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Both Diggs and Cole Beasley (knee) entered the weekend with a cloud hanging over their heads, the former less so than the latter. Still, both wide receivers will gut out their respective injuries and be available to the Bills offense. Diggs, the NFL's leader in receiving yards this season, will look to exploit the Colts' 20th ranked pass defense (241.6 yards per game).
Jan 9, 2021
Expected to play
Diggs (oblique) is expected to play Saturday against the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Both Diggs and Cole Beasley (knee) should be available for Buffalo's first home playoff game in 25 years, but the team will confirm both wide receiver's availability closer to the 1:05 p.m. ET kickoff.
Jan 7, 2021
Officially questionable
Diggs (oblique) is listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice and is officially questionable for Saturday's playoff game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Given that the Bills have not sounded overly concerned about the injury and Diggs was out there practicing to some degree Thursday, we feel pretty good about the star receiver's status for Saturday. Overly cautious managers will have the benefit of this being the first game on the wild-card slate, so Saturday's game-day inactive list should affirm Diggs is suiting up.
Jan 7, 2021
Practicing Thursday
Diggs (oblique) was spotted at practice Thursday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
ANALYSIS
That's a good sign after Diggs was listed as a "DNP" on Wednesday, and at this stage we'd expect the wideout to be a go Saturday against the Colts. For his part, Diggs previously suggested that's he's "fine," a notion that would be solidified if he approaches the Bills' playoff opener minus an injury designation.
Jan 6, 2021
Absent from Wednesday's practice
Diggs (oblique) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was listed as limited during Tuesday's walk-through, so his completely lack of activity Wednesday represents a step in the wrong direction. Of course, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports that Diggs said he'll be "fine" for Saturday's wild-card matchup the Colts, so it doesn't appears he's in any true danger of missing time. Coach Sean McDermott clarified that Diggs' injury is a new development and not something that's been lingering throughout the season, per Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo.
Jan 5, 2021
Limited for Tuesday's walkthrough
Diggs (oblique) was listed as limited for Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
ANALYSIS
This is the first we've heard of the injury to the team's best receiver, but it also has the sound of being something minor, considering Diggs was on the field to some degree Tuesday and still saw a decent amount of action during Sunday's blowout win over the Dolphins.
Jan 3, 2021
League's leading receiver in 2020
Diggs caught seven of eight targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 56-26 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Diggs set new career highs in catches (127) and receiving yards (1,535) in his first season with Buffalo, leading the league in both categories as the top target for breakout star Josh Allen. The trade acquisition from Minnesota also scored eight touchdowns, coming one short of his 2018 career high. Diggs' fantastic season helped the Bills secure the No. 2 seed in the AFC, so they'll have a home playoff game in the wild-card round next week.
Jan 3, 2021
Suiting up for Week 17
Although the Bills have listed several starters as inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Diggs is not among them and will presumably start against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been a top three fantasy wideout all season, but some of the key inactives such as Tre'Davious White, Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison should provide a clue as to how the Bills are viewing this game, which can only dictate whether they'll be the No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the AFC, and even the latter would require a Pittsburgh win. It's impossible to predict how some of these Week 17 games will go, but the best guess would seem to be that Diggs and the main active guys will stay out there long enough to stay polished for next week's playoff game. while perhaps coach Sean McDermott will leave them in long enough to continue setting some franchise records before calling it a day. On top of it all, the weather is not supposed to be great in Buffalo on Sunday. The one thing going for Diggs managers is that he and Allen have been so lethal that they could easily hook up for a few big plays before coach Sean McDermott starts pumping the breaks. We imagine the team wouldn't mind seeing Diggs lead the league in r
Dec 28, 2020
Dominates with three touchdowns
Diggs caught nine of 11 targets for 145 yards and three touchdowns in Monday night's 38-9 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was spectacular in another signature victory, and has incredibly now finished with at least 130 yards in three straight games. In doing so, Diggs has set a new Bills franchise record for receiving yards in a single season, and his three touchdown catches Monday helped quarterback Josh Allen clinch a team record for passing TDs in a campaign. The duo connected from 50, 18 and 8 yards on their respective scores, enabling them to watch from the sidelines with a comfortable lead for virtually the entire fourth quarter. With such significant momentum, Diggs and Allen will now take aim at finishing the regular season strong against the Dolphins in Week 17.
Dec 26, 2020
No injury tag for Monday
Diggs (foot) practiced fully again Saturday and does not have an injury designation for Monday's game at New England.
ANALYSIS
While Diggs' status appeared in doubt following last Saturday's win in Denver, the injury turned out to not be serious and he should be able to take on a full complement of plays against his new team's division rivals.
Dec 25, 2020
Looking good for MNF
Diggs (foot) is listed as a full participant on Friday's estimated practice report.
ANALYSIS
We'll get full clarity on the star wideout's status when the Bills have their final practice of the week Saturday, but at this stage he looks safe to keep in lineups for Week 16.
Dec 24, 2020
Gets in full practice
Diggs (foot) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report.
ANALYSIS
Good news for those who saw the star receiver go down late in a blowout win last Saturday, but it appears that Diggs' foot injury is a minor one. This was the Bills' first official practice. of the week, as the team plays Monday night at New England. We imagine Diggs. is a major reason why some people may be playing for fantasy championships this weekend, and it appears he'll be fully ready for action.
Dec 23, 2020
Set to practice
Head coach Sean McDermott said Diggs (foot) will take part in Wednesday's practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The extent of Diggs' participation won't be known until Thursday, when the Bills release their first official Week 16 injury report. The fact that Diggs is back on the field in some fashion is an encouraging sign for his chances of playing Monday in New England, after he was removed late in last week's win over the Broncos due to the foot issue. Before exiting, Diggs provided his fantasy managers with a big game, finishing the day with a season-high 11 receptions for 147 yards on 13 targets.
Dec 21, 2020
Still being monitored
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that the Bills are still monitoring Diggs (foot), Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was forced out of last Saturday's blowout win over the Broncos late due to a foot injury, but not before racking up 11 catches for 147 yards. The initial postgame diagnosis for Diggs' injury was reportedly minor, but Buffalo hasn't offered an official update since. The Bills are next scheduled to take the practice field Wednesday, so more information on Diggs' health should become available then at the latest.
Dec 19, 2020
Injury appears minor
The Bills believe the foot injury Diggs sustained during Saturday's win over the Broncos won't cause him to miss any time, Kimberly Jones of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a huge sigh of relief for Buffalo, as the 27-year-old made a late exit from Saturday's blowout victory after catching 11 passes for 147 yards. Diggs will also have a couple extra days to rest up since the Bills have the Patriots on tap next Monday, Dec. 28. The wideout's status should be updated once Buffalo returns to the practice field Thursday, at the latest.
Dec 19, 2020
Exits late with foot issue
Diggs headed to the locker room during Saturday's 48-19 win over the Broncos with a foot injury.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old dominated throughout the contest, catching 11 of 13 targets for 147 yards before Buffalo announced the injury during the final stages of the fourth quarter. The specifics of the issue remain unclear, though Diggs was able to return to the sideline shortly after the injury announcement. Any potential absence would be significant for both the Bills and fantasy players.
Dec 14, 2020
Dominates on national stage
Diggs hauled in 10 passes (14 targets) for 130 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-15 win over Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Diggs consistently beat his assignments and got open quickly so that Josh Allen could unload the ball against an aggresive Steelers unit. The star wideout put his agility on display in the third quarter when he ran a crisp post route that left the opposing corner on the ground before taking it to the house for his fifth touchdown of the season. Diggs' monster performance put him at 100 receptions and 1,167 yards through just 13 games. To put that into perspective, the 26-year-old was only able to reach 100 catches and 1,000 yards in the same season just once in his five years with the Vikings, and it took him all of 15 games to accomplish the feat. The Bills will take on the Broncos' seventh-ranked pass defense on a Saturday holiday special, but Diggs was able to abuse the Steelers' second-ranked air defense Sunday, so his status as an elite fantasy asset shouldn't be questioned this season.
Dec 7, 2020
Piles up catches in win
Diggs brought in 10 of 11 targets for 92 yards in the Bills' 34-24 win over the 49ers on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
Diggs corralled a game-high number of receptions while checking in second in receiving yards to Cole Beasley on the Bills. The prize offseason acquisition is being used in a largely short-area role after averaging a career-high 12.0 yards per target with the Vikings in 2019, but his tally Monday night enabled him to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for the third straight season. Diggs also now has a trio of 10-catch efforts this season and has logged double-digit targets in three of his past four contests. The sixth-year pro will look to carry over the momentum of Monday's performance into a tough matchup versus the Steelers in a Week 14 Sunday night showdown.
Nov 29, 2020
Held in check by Chargers
Diggs caught seven of nine targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Diggs set up Buffalo's opening-drive touchdown by drawing a 47-yard pass interference penalty, and he led the Bills in targets and catches despite being held to a season low in receiving yards. Buffalo's No. 1 receiver has 80 catches for 945 yards and has caught at least six passes in all but one game heading into a Week 13 matchup with a 49ers secondary that's starting to get some key pieces back from injury.
Nov 15, 2020
Finds end zone Sunday
Diggs caught 10 of 11 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
His 21-yard TD grab inside the final minute of the fourth quarter appeared to have given the Bills the win, but Kyler Murray capped a four-play, 34-second final drive with a successful hail mary to DeAndre Hopkins to steal the victory for the Cards. Diggs heads into Buffalo's bye week with 73 catches, 906 receiving yards and four touchdowns, putting hi firmly on pace for a career year.
Nov 8, 2020
Tallies 118 receiving yards
Diggs caught nine of 12 targets for 118 yards during Sunday's 44-34 win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the team in targets, catches and receiving yardage as he topped the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 5. He didn't break off many long gains as his best one went for just 25 yards, but he consistently beat the porous Seattle secondary en route to another productive performance. Diggs is averaging an excellent 90.3 receiving yards per game this season and will look to add to his impressive numbers next Sunday against the Cardinals.
Nov 1, 2020
Tops 90 yards in Week 8 win
Diggs caught six of nine targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over New England.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was the only Bills receiver able to get things going, as the offense went with a run-heavy approach on a windy afternoon in Orchard Park. Cole Beasley ranked second on the team in both catches (two) and receiving yards (24), as Diggs has pulled away from John Brown -- who's playing through a knee injury -- as Josh Allen's go-to guy. Diggs has at least six catches in seven of eight games and has topped 85 yards five times heading into a juicy Week 9 matchup with the porous Seattle secondary.
Oct 31, 2020
Shutdown opponent ruled out
Diggs will not face Stephon Gilmore of the Patriots this week after the cornerback was ruled out for Sunday's game, as reported by Field Yates of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Diggs will still have to compete with what's expected to be a rainy windy day, all to go with Bill Belichick's propensity to shut down an opponent's top weapon, which is clearly Diggs this season. That said, it's probably not advisable to consider sitting the AFC's leading receiver, who will now not have to free himself from the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
Oct 25, 2020
Doesn't make much of 11 targets
Diggs caught six of 11 targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Diggs finished just one target behind Cole Beasley's team-leading total, but the slot receiver comfortably outproduced Diggs, with team highs in catches (11) and receiving yards (112). With at least six catches in all but one of his seven games with the Bills, Diggs should remain an integral part of Buffalo's offense in Week 8 against the Patriots.
Oct 19, 2020
Scores in defeat
Diggs caught six of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 26-17 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the Bills in all major receiving categories, with his modest yardage evidencing the impact that consistent rain had on his team's passing game. While it wasn't always pretty, Diggs still managed to find the end zone, skillfully keeping his feet in bounds while making a grab along the sideline from four yards out. With that play, Diggs has now gone for at least 85 yards and/or scored in all six games since joining Buffalo, making him one of the league's top performers at his position.
Oct 13, 2020
Tops 100 yards on 16 targets
Diggs hauled in 10 of 16 targets for 106 yards in Tuesday's 42-16 loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was the only Bills player to earn double-digit targets, as he was the team's clear-cut top receiver with John Brown (knee) inactive. The former Vikings standout topped the 100-yard mark for the third time through five games with Buffalo, bringing his season totals to 36 catches for 509 yards and three touchdowns. Regardless of Brown's status for Monday's game against the Chiefs, Diggs should continue to get plenty of attention from quarterback Josh Allen.
Oct 5, 2020
Totals 115 yards
Diggs caught six of seven targets for 115 yards during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Diggs led the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards while averaging a healthy 19.2 yards per reception. He came through with a season-high gain of 49 yards and continues to build an excellent rapport with ascending quarterback Josh Allen. Diggs is now on pace for over 1,600 yards through four games and will look to continue his excellent season in another favorable matchup next Sunday against the Titans.
Sep 27, 2020
Finds end zone in Week 3 win
Diggs caught four of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-32 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Diggs had consecutive would-be one-yard touchdowns nullified in the first quarter; the first was overturned by the replay official while the second was negated by a penalty. He finally found the end zone from four yards out in the third quarter to put Buffalo up 28-3, and the Bills were able to escape with the win thanks to a late touchdown drive despite allowing Los Angeles to score the next 29 points after DIggs' touchdown. The former Vikings wide receiver has 20 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns through three games with Buffalo heading into a Week 4 road tilt in Las Vegas.
Sep 26, 2020
Could see heavy dose of Ramsey
Diggs will likely be covered frequently by star corner Jalen Ramsey during Sunday's game in Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
This is certainly not a sure thing and Diggs' teammate John Brown is no slouch, but Diggs is the more skilled receiver, so it would make sense the Rams try to use as much of Ramsey as they can to slow him down, especially after Diggs torched the Miami secondary for 153 yards and a score last week. Ramsey himself has even implied as such throughout the week. It'd be hard to advise sitting Diggs, currently the league's leading receiver, but just know things might not come as easy to him as the first two weeks, when he matched up against more friendly defenses.
Sep 20, 2020
Excels for second straight week
Diggs secured eight of 13 targets for 153 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-28 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The offseason arrival has been a natural fit in the Bills offense over the first two games of the campaign, with Diggs now having notched eight grabs apiece against the Jets and Dolphins and already notching his first 100-yard effort in a Buffalo uniform. Sunday, Diggs managed team-high totals in receptions, receiving yardage and targets while also making his first scoring connection with quarterback Josh Allen on a 22-yard grab early in the second quarter. Diggs' early usage implies coordinator Brian Daboll is already dialed in on how to best deploy him, leaving fantasy managers buoyant ahead of the Bills' Week 3 home matchup against the Rams next Sunday.
Sep 13, 2020
Eight catches in Buffalo debut
Diggs caught eight of nine targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Diggs had a solid Bills debut and led the team in receiving yards but was outplayed by John Brown, who finished with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown. Brown topped 1,000 yards in 2019 and already has a rapport with quarterback Josh Allen, so it could take some time for Diggs to surpass Brown as Allen's go-to guy. Diggs took a couple of punishing blows in this one but held onto the ball through the contact each time, and that toughness should help earn Allen's trust ahead of a Week 2 trip to Miami. Allen topped 300 passing yards for the first time in his career, which bodes well for the young quarterback's chances of sustaining two fantasy-relevant wide receivers against the Dolphins in Week 2 and beyond.

Ready to rock for new team
Diggs, who was bothered by a back issue at the beginning of the month, practiced fully all week and doesn't appear on Buffalo's injury report ahead of Week 1.
ANALYSIS
He'll be ready to make his Bills debut as the team's top wideout. The Jets are not expected to have a great secondary especially after dealing Jamal Adams to the Seahawks this offseason, so this may be about as good of a matchup as Diggs will see in the early part of Buffalo's schedule. Neither his skill set or the powerful arm of Josh Allen can be questioned, but it'll be interesting to see how quickly the rapport develops given the lack of preseason action this summer.

Returns to practice
Diggs (back) returned to practice Monday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, the wideout -- who had been nursing a sore back -- was in full pads Monday, a sign that he's past what appears to have been a minor issue. Diggs is favorite to lead the Bills in targets this coming season, albeit in an offense that figures to continue to lean heavily on the run.

Misses Sunday's session
Diggs did not practice Sunday as he continues to nurse a sore back, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was still with his teammates, watching the practice from the sidelines, so perhaps it's just a minor injury. Still, any missed time with his new team and trying to develop a rapport with Josh Allen in a preseason-less summer may come with a cost.
Aug 27, 2020
Bothered by sore back
Diggs will miss Thursday's practice while tending to soreness in his lower back, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
Based on the initial reports, this sounds like a day-to-day injury. We'll start to have cause for concern if Diggs doesn't return to practice at some point next week. He's the clear favorite to lead his new team in targets, playing in a Bills offense that finished last season t-24th in pass attempts (513) and 20th in yards per attempt (6.8). The hope in Buffalo is that Diggs' presence, along with continued growth from third-year QB Josh Allen, can elevate the passing game to league-average or better.

Has contract restructured
The Bills restructured Diggs' contract, increasing his compensation for the 2020 season by $3.3 million to $14.8 million, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
On top of that, Diggs' guaranteed money for 2021 will go up $7.7 million to $11 million, while his combined 2022-23 take will decrease from $25.55 million to $22.67 million. According to Garafolo, the aforementioned adjustments were agreed to when he was dealt to Buffalo on March 16, but the emerging pandemic delayed them until Diggs was able to report to the team. With his new squad, Diggs will be operating in tandem with John Brown in an offense that -- like his previous one in Minnesota -- is among the more run-focused in the NFL. Such a scheme didn't slow him down, though, as he produced a 63-1,130-6 line on 94 targets last year.
Mar 16, 2020
Shipped to Buffalo
The Vikings agreed to trade Diggs to the Bills on Monday, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The trade won't become official until later this week, but the Bills are set to send a 2020 first-round pick, fifth-round pick, sixth-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick to the Vikings in exchange for Diggs and a 2020 seventh-round pick, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Trade speculation has long surrounded Diggs along with rumors he wasn't happy in Minnesota, and he'll now receive a fresh start entering the 2020 season. The 26-year-old set career highs in yards (1,130) and YPC (17.9) in 2019, while catching 63 of 94 targets and six touchdowns. Diggs should slot in as Buffalo's No. 1 wide receiver opposite John Brown for third-year quarterback Josh Allen.

Likely staying with Vikings
Diggs isn't likely to be traded this offseason, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has a penchant for posting vague/cryptic tweets, which have led to speculation he isn't happy in Minnesota, a story that first gained steam in October after he skipped a practice. His frustration may have been related to the team's run-heavy offense, something that fellow wide receiver Adam Thielen also took issue with. The Vikings quickly found a better balance and won eight of their next 11 games to secure a playoff berth, with Kirk Cousins averaging 260.7 passing yards and 2.1 passing touchdowns in that stretch. Diggs averaged 4.5 catches for 83.7 yards and 0.5 TDs on 6.8 targets during the same 11-game span, relying on long gains rather than the steady stream of short passes he'd seen in previous seasons. His average depth of target (aDOT) for the year was 14.9 yards, up from 8.8 in 2018 and 11.5 in 2017. Assuming Diggs isn't traded, it will be interesting to see if new offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak continues to use the 26-year-old as a regular deep threat or returns him to his more possession-b

Hauls in TD in loss to Niners
Diggs caught two of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers in the NFC divisional round.
ANALYSIS
He hauled in the Vikings' only TD of the day on a 41-yard strike from Kirk Cousins late in the first quarter, but the game mostly belonged to the Niners after that. Diggs finished the 2019 regular season with a career-high 1,130 yards, but he was used far more as a deep threat than he was in 2018 -- he caught 63 passes on 94 targets, a significant drop from the 102 grabs on 149 targets he saw in 2018, but made up for it by nearly doubling his YPT to 12.0. Signed through 2023, Diggs should remain a key part of the Minnesota passing game again next year.

Cleared to play
Diggs (illness) is not on listed on the Vikings' final injury report for Saturday's playoff game against the 49ers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs missed back-to-back practices Tuesday and Wednesday, but was cleared to play after returning to the field Thursday. While he'll be good to go, fellow starting wideout Adam Thielen is listed as questionable for the contest after suffering an ankle injury during Wednesday's practice. Either way, Diggs will look to be more involved in his team's passing attack Saturday after being limited to two catches (on three targets) for 19 yards in last weekend's wild-card win over the Saints.
Jan 9, 2020
Back at practice
Diggs (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs had missed two days worth or practice due to an illness, but his return to the field Thursday puts him on track to suit up Saturday against the 49ers. The Vikings' final injury report of the week will reveal whether the wideout is listed as questionable for the contest, or minus an injury designation altogether.
Jan 8, 2020
Misses practice Wednesday
Diggs (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite Diggs having missed his second straight practice Wednesday, coach Mike Zimmer indicated that he isn't concerned about the wideout's availability for Saturday''s divisional playoff game versus the 49ers. "He'll be fine," Zimmer noted. We'll circle back on Diggs' status Thursday to see if he's able to return to the practice field and also to see if he heads into the weekend with a designation on the Vikings' final injury report.
Jan 8, 2020
Absent from practice again
Diggs (illness) was not spotted at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs sat out Tuesday's walk-through practice due to an illness, and he appears to be headed for another "DNP" listing on Wednesday's injury report. He'll have one more opportunity to return to practice and shed his injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round contest against the 49ers, during which Minnesota's offense will need every available playmaker firing on all cylinders.
Oct 3, 2019
Practices in full after return
Diggs (non-injury) practiced fully Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was away from the Vikings' team facility Wednesday with what was termed a "non-injury." Upon his return Thursday, he talked to the media about the absence, and in the process he told Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he'll play Sunday against the Giants "if they (the Vikings) let me." By getting in a full session, Diggs clearly is healthy, so a decision on his game-day status may come down to whether missed meetings hurt his preparation for Week 5.
Oct 2, 2019
Sits out due to non-injury
Diggs missed Wednesday's practice with a non-injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
On a positive note, Diggs isn't dealing with a health concern. Conversely, there's no telling what he's dealing with, making his status one to monitor closely as the week goes on. Next up for reps on the Vikings' wide receiver depth chart are Bisi Johnson, Laquon Treadwell and Davion Davis.
Oct 2, 2019
Absent from Wednesday's practice
Diggs (undisclosed) didn't attend practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Tomasson relayed that a Vikings official was unable to specify the reason for Diggs' absence. All the way back in Week 1, Diggs tended to a hamstring injury but played a 60 percent share of the offensive snaps on his way to two catches for 37 yards. Wednesday's injury report will shed light on his current standing.
Sep 4, 2019
Held out with hamstring injury
Diggs didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.
ANALYSIS
In a surprise development at the start of Wednesday's session, Diggs was the sole Viking not in uniform. With a hamstring injury in tow, it'll be interesting to see how he progresses through the remainder of Week 1 preparations. If he indeed is limited or can't suit up Sunday against the Falcons, Chad Beebe, Bisi Johnson and Josh Doctson would be in line for targets behind top wide receiver Adam Thielen.
Sep 4, 2019
Sitting out practice
Diggs (undisclosed) wasn't in uniform during the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The Vikings won't reveal the reason for Diggs' lack of work until they release their first injury report of the season Wednesday. Through four years as a professional, he's missed at least one game in each campaign, so his status will be one to watch as Week 1 preparations roll along.
