Mattek Fantasy Football on Stefon Diggs

Round 7 value; route share jump to 70-80% with Commanders' OL injuries.

JJ McCarthy identifies Stefon Diggs as the favorite wide receiver pick in round seven, noting he is effectively free at that draft range. Diggs posted 12.3 points per game and 2.55 yards per route run last year with the Patriots. McCarthy projects Diggs will see a 70-75-80% route share with the Washington Commanders (up from 60% with New England) due to the Commanders' missing left tackle, which will force them to be more pass-heavy and direct targets to Diggs at lower average depth of target rather than Terry McLaurin. McCarthy bets against the narrative that Diggs is washed based on his 2.55 yards per route run efficiency.
