Stefon Diggs meets with Patriots

WR Stefon Diggs (knee) visited the Patriots, per league sources, as he explores options after a likely exit from the Texans following their trade for Christian Kirk. The 31-year-old tore his ACL in late October 2024, likely undergoing surgery in November, which sets a roughly 10-month recovery window before Week 1 of 2025. New England pairs a thin WR corps with rising QB Drake Maye, offering Diggs a chance to step in if he’s ready—though his age and injury cloud the timeline. (Chad Graff)

Stefon Diggs is in Foxboro to meet with the New England Patriots, according to a source.

The Patriots badly need WR help and Diggs could provide that even if he may not be ready Week 1 as he recovers from an ACL tear.

Fantasy Impact:

Diggs’ prime WR1 days faded before the ACL tear, and at 31, a full rebound by Week 1 2025 is no lock—younger players typically fare better with that timeline. A Patriots landing with Maye could spark WR2 numbers if he beats the odds, given the weak depth chart. Still, his pre-injury dip and rehab risks make him a late-round redraft gamble—dynasty owners might hold, but temper expectations. His visit’s outcome will shape his outlook—stay tuned.
