Stefon Diggs

Since Week 12, Stefon Diggs has seen his usage dip again with a 53.3% route share, a 10.6% target share, and a 12.8% first-read share. Diggs may continue to see this limited usage coming out of the bye, but I expect his usage to increase in a massive game against his former employer. Overall, Diggs has a 64.4% route share, a 20.1% target share, 54.2 receiving yards per game, 2.30 yards per route run, and a 22% first-read share. Diggs is second on the team with 11 red zone targets and eight deep targets. This week, he faces a Bills' secondary that has the third-highest two-high rate (57.2%). Against two high, Diggs has had a 22.8% target share, 2.04 yards per route run, and a 26.9% first-read share. With Christian Benford ruled out, Diggs' floor and ceiling projection just got a bump for Week 15. The Bills haven't been a good matchup for perimeter wide receivers. Since Week 10, they have given up the 13th-fewest PPR points per target to the position, but losing Benford is huge this week. I consider their pass defense to be middle-of-the-road without him against outside wide receivers this week. 

Stefon Diggs caught 3-of-4 targets for 26 yards in the Patriots 35-31 loss to the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Diggs has really struggled to get anything going in his last three games. The veteran has not eclipses 26 receiving yards since Week 11 and has three receptions or less in each game during that span. Diggs will look to bounce back against the Ravens in Week 16.
