All Ron Stewart insights about Stefon Diggs
NegativeRoleOct 27, 2026
Part-time player in Washington offense; will never be a 90%+ route participation player, limiting his ceiling despite Ron Stewart liking the offense overall under David Blau with Jaden Williams at QB. This structural role limitation caps his fantasy upside.PositiveValueOct 22, 2026
Ron Stewart identifies Stefan Diggs as a strong buy-low target despite being on bye week. Diggs has played hobbled with a 61% snap share but scored a touchdown in his last game. Over three games with Jaden Daniels, Diggs averaged 17.9 PPR points per game, though Stewart projects a more realistic 12-13 PPR per game rest of season. Diggs ranks WR14 in targets per route run and is getting hyper-targeted when on field. Stewart rates him as a high-end WR3 at worst rest of season and emphasizes he is getting disrespected on the market. Stewart would easily trade Paul Sutton, Jordan Mason, or Breeland Allen straight up for Diggs.NegativeValueOct 8, 2026
Ron Stewart would trade Stefon Diggs for Chuba Hubbard but deems the trade unrealistic, suggesting Diggs' owner would not accept such an offer. This indicates Diggs is overvalued relative to Hubbard in the current market.PositiveValueSep 24, 2026

Stefon Diggs continues to operate as a part-time receiver, running only 66% of routes in his latest game. Despite his touchdown production, his limited route share suggests he remains a volatile fantasy asset with a capped ceiling.NegativeValueSep 9, 2026
Ron Stewart drafted Stefon Diggs as a late-round pick, describing it as 'a very boring pick' and characterizing it as an 'eat your vegetables pick'—meaning a safe, uninspiring but necessary selection. Stewart does not provide specific stats, projections, or role analysis, only the characterization of the pick as a conservative, unexciting choice. When debating receiver options later in the draft, Stewart considered Diggs but preferred Harold Fannon over him.NegativeValueSep 7, 2026
Diggs is in direct competition with Jaylen Waddle at this draft spot. Stewart has only one Diggs team versus two Waddle teams, creating portfolio saturation that makes Waddle the preferred pick in this draft position. The Waddle vs. Diggs decision is described as close, but portfolio management favors Waddle to avoid overexposure to Diggs.PositiveValueSep 6, 2026
Diggs was selected fourth overall in a 10-team, three-flex, full PPR league.

Stewart characterizes this as a single report that people are overreacting to, suggesting the injury concern may be overblown.PositiveProjectionSep 1, 2026
Positioned as a potential flex anchor in a zero-RB build where the source passed on early running back selections. The source expresses optimism that "Diggs could be awesome" and notes that if he performs well, the greedy wide receiver-heavy approach becomes justified. Diggs is projected to fill the flex spot in the week one starting lineup for this $2,000 high-stakes draft team.NegativeValueSep 1, 2026
Stefan Diggs was selected in the draft as a flex option, initially chosen over Carnell Tate as a rookie because he opens up another elite quarterback stack opportunity. However, in retrospect, the source expressed regret about the Diggs selection, stating they would have preferred to select Casey Conpsion instead of Jordan Mason, then use a later pick on Rashad White rather than Diggs; Diggs was part of a flex spot that the source felt was suboptimal in the zero-RB construction.PositiveValueAug 31, 2026
Ron Stewart planned to pair Stefan Diggs with Jaden Daniels as a stack if Daniels had remained available, indicating Diggs was part of Stewart's preferred draft strategy. However, Daniels was drafted before Stewart's turn, forcing him to pivot away from this pairing.PositiveValueAug 30, 2026

JJ Zachariason downgraded Stefon Diggs after observing him come off the field in two-wide receiver sets during a preseason game, with Treylon Burks taking his place. He worries Diggs could become an afterthought in the offense behind Terry McLaurin.NegativeBreakoutAug 18, 2026
Diggs is cited as a league-winning wide receiver breakout from round five or six in 2021, exemplifying how elite WR production can be found at a cheap cost in the middle rounds rather than forcing early-round RB selections. The source uses Diggs in a sample draft as a wide receiver through the flex plus one position, supporting the hero RB build strategy of establishing strong receiver depth to avoid fragile builds.PositiveValueAug 18, 2026
The source considers Stefon Diggs a 'no-brainer' fantasy target who will straight up outscore Josh Downs, advocating for him as an upside, young breakout-style player despite ranking him near Chris Godwin.NegativeValueAug 17, 2026
Ron Stewart considered drafting Stefon Diggs but ultimately decided against it, feeling it wasn't necessary at that point in the draft.NegativeValueAug 15, 2026
WR identified as value in rounds 5–10 by Ron Stewart. Diggs is highlighted as part of a group of WR values littered throughout rounds 5–10 to target after securing two top-12 RBs early, when WRs outscore RBs by projections. In mock drafts, Diggs is selected in round 9 as a high-floor WR option that gives the roster WR coverage through the flex plus one before the WR cliff. Also positioned as a high-floor alternative in double hero RB builds if early-round WR selections create concern, offering stability and consistency.PositiveRoleAug 15, 2026

The source is stacking Stefon Diggs with Jalen Daniels and DeVonta McLaurin as a three-player stack, suggesting a strategic pairing for upside in the same offense.PositiveValueAug 14, 2026
Ron Stewart pairs Diggs with McCaffrey and Jaden Daniels as a league-winning receiver pairing strategy in a three-player stack, suggesting strong value in the context of this draft construction; Stewart also debated Diggs as a late-round pick option but ultimately preferred Bill Crosby in that tier.PositiveProjectionAug 13, 2026
Ron Stewart places Diggs in a projection-upside tier below the elite 14+ PPR group (Olave, DeVonta Smith, Z Flowers) and alongside Tee Lad and others; however, Stewart is starting to really come around on Diggs and feels good about him giving points in the flex spot, indicating a positive shift in his evaluation.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
Ron Stewart has moved Stefon Diggs up in his rankings to the 98-100 overall range, positioning him between Michael Wilson and Zay Flowers/Xavier Worthy. Stewart considers this a fair ranking following recent news updates to his draft guide.NegativeMatchupAug 3, 2026

Ron Stewart believes Diggs is undervalued relative to Debo Samuel, who went round 10-12 while Diggs was going around round 13. Stewart is buying the 'homecoming' narrative of Diggs signing with Washington, where he grew up and played college ball at Maryland.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
Stefon Diggs was drafted before Ron Stewart's turn, leaving the source's receiver room without strong stacking correlation beyond Cam Ward and Aaron Rodgers. The source also expressed love for Diggs as part of a preferred tier of elite wide receivers alongside Puka Nacua and JSN.NegativeProjectionJan 16, 2026
Stefon Diggs was not drafted by the source but ended up being okay in 2024, delivering moderate value.NegativeDepth ChartDec 4, 2025
Ron Stewart dropped Stefon Diggs from WR20 to WR30 in rankings due to persistent playing time concerns; he has not been a full-time player all season. Over the last two weeks, his route participation collapsed from 78% (week 10) and 89% (week 11) down to 54% and 61%, as the team has increased involvement for Kalen Williams, Mack Hollins, and tight ends. Stewart assesses that running less than 70% of routes is insufficient for Diggs to be an every-week starter. Diggs is operating similarly to late-career Keenan Allen, running 70–80% of routes while attached to a good quarterback. He has the 22nd toughest schedule moving forward (Buffalo, Baltimore, Jets), with Buffalo and Baltimore presenting particularly tough matchups.NegativeValueNo date
In a start-eight league, source would trade Burden and Wandell for Pickens; indicates both players are in the same tier of value.NegativeRoleNo date
Signed late to Washington Commanders; was WR21 in PPG last year and top-10 in yards per route run, but role uncertainty is a major concern. In preseason was played as a situational three-wide receiver set player, which would be a significant downgrade for fantasy football.PositiveProjectionNo date
Diggs is expected to sign soon and will rise in ADP once he has a team locked in, with the author not concerned about the delay in signing.PositiveValueNo date
Diggs is currently going around round 12 ADP but should be drafted around round 9-10 once he signs, as he had 85 catches, 1,013 receiving yards, and 2.53 yards per route run (8th among WRs) last year and is another year removed from his torn ACL.PositiveValueNo date
Going in the 12th round as WR56 and is absolutely free; he was good last year with 85 catches, 1,013 yards, and 2.53 yards per route run (8th among WRs), legal issues are behind him, and he's another year removed from torn ACL.
