From the article

Being 'multiple' out of heavy personnel only works if the offensive play calling stays balanced out of these looks. The addition of Diggs will also allow the team to be effective with only two wide receivers. Along with Chig Okonkwo at tight end and a dual-threat running back, the defense must choose between a lighter coverage group or a heavier run-stopping option.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Diggs' presence enables effective two-WR heavy personnel, improving run and pass balance.

Diggs enables the Commanders to be effective with only two wide receivers in heavy personnel groupings. Paired with Chig Okonkwo at tight end and a dual-threat running back, Diggs forces defenses to choose between a lighter coverage group (allowing the offense to run) or a heavier run-stopping option (allowing the offense to isolate a receiver against a linebacker or safety). This dual-threat credibility improves both the passing and rushing attack, allowing coordinator David Blough to keep both options credible and force defensive adjustments.
