All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Stefon Diggs
PositiveProjectionOct 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Stefon Diggs as WR25 for Week 5 but notes he has not finished worse than WR25 in PPR points per game since Obama was in office. Diggs saw nine targets most recently with Terry McLaurin sidelined. The Commanders' passing-heavy offense (can't run or stop the pass) should keep him involved. Hartitz notes he wouldn't blame anyone for ranking Diggs higher, especially with Jaden Daniels returning. Diggs is also a strong matchup play against the Jets, a pass funnel defense (21st or worse in EPA per drop back but close to league average or better against the run) that teams are inclined to attack through the air.PositiveUsageSep 16, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Stefon Diggs as WR27 for Week 2. Diggs led Commanders WRs with 9 targets in Week 1, significantly outpacing Terry McLaurin's 4 targets. Diggs is also set up well for success based on matchup; the Cowboys rank among the worst secondaries at containing wide receivers over the last 12 months per True Media data, and have given up more touchdowns on deep passes (20+ yards) to WRs than any other defense dating back to Week 1 of last season.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Stefon Diggs as WR34 and emphasizes his elite historical consistency. Hartitz notes that Obama was in office the last time Diggs finished worse than WR25 in PPR points per game, underscoring his reliability as a fantasy asset.PositiveValueSep 3, 2026
Liam Murphy likes Stefon Diggs a lot and drafted him early as part of a heavy wide receiver emphasis alongside Jamar Chase, George Pickens, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Carnell Tate. Murphy also selected Diggs as part of a Bills stack strategy to complement Josh Allen and Keon Coleman, noting that when building the Bills offense, adding Diggs made sense.NegativeProjectionAug 28, 2026
Stefon Diggs was drafted as a top wide receiver in Hribar's high-stakes $1M draft, selected in the early rounds.NegativeValueAug 22, 2026
Stefon Diggs is listed as a round seven to nine target option alongside other wide receivers in that range, per JJ Zachariason.PositiveValueAug 21, 2026
Hartitz selected Stefon Diggs in round eight as a wide receiver still ranked lower than his potential upside. Hartitz believes Diggs could be the 1A option on his team, though more likely 1B, making him a value pick at that stage. In a 104-pick mock, Hartitz specifically targeted Diggs, noting 'I don't see anyone after him' in terms of WR quality, and pushed his QB selection back one spot to secure him. Diggs was part of a strong receiver tier that included Burden, Christian Watson, Chris Godwin, and Quentin Johnston.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026
Stefon Diggs (Waddle reference appears to be Devonta Smith based on context) is part of the wide receiver room filled out in the draft strategy, contributing to strong receiver depth.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Stefon Diggs as WR42 and emphasizes that he should not be dismissed as a secondary option in his new offense. Diggs has not finished worse than WR25 since 2016 and is viewed as a significant threat to target share in Washington, placing him in a tier with Michael Pittman Jr., Xavier Worthy, and Jakobi Meyers.NegativeValueAug 5, 2026
Ian Hartitz expresses skepticism about wide receiver value in round 10, specifically questioning whether he would feel good drafting Stefon Diggs (among Shakur, Debo, Shahed, Higgins, Coker, Diggs) at that stage. When asked if he'd feel good looking at wide receiver in round 10, Hartitz states 'I don't,' indicating these receivers don't stand out as compelling values at that ADP. However, Diggs was selected in the 'Super Bowers' draft strategy as part of strong wide receiver depth (Diggs, Adams, Watson, Parker Washington) to complement elite running back and tight end positioning, though Hartitz notes the wide receiver group may be 'a little bit overkill' with one flex spot.PositiveValueAug 3, 2026
Ian Hartitz targets Stefon Diggs, noting that if he signs with Washington, he would immediately become the team's number two wide receiver. Hartitz argues Diggs is a superior player to Deebo Samuel at this stage of their careers and highlights the local DMV connection as a reason for the potential signing. Hartitz likes the value of drafting Diggs late, noting his best-case scenario is comparable to other final-round options.NegativeUsageNo date

Ian Hartitz had Stefon Diggs ranked wide receiver 25-26 before the Terry McLaurin injury. If McLaurin is ruled out, Diggs becomes a must-start option and would move inside the top 24. The Colts play a ton of man coverage; while Sauce Gardner is involved, he hasn't traveled extensively. However, Hartitz wouldn't rank Diggs ahead of Josh Downs, Jaylen Waddle, and Matthew Golden even if McLaurin is out.PositiveMatchupNo date
Ian Hartitz ranks Stefon Diggs as WR26 with 22 targets on the season. Diggs has a key advantage against the Colts because they run more man coverage than most defenses, and Diggs has doubled up Terry McLaren's targets specifically against man coverage. Hartitz notes Marcus Mariota is playing at a level comparable to or slightly better than Jaden Daniels for week 4 purposes, suggesting Mariota can support Diggs' production.NegativeUsageNo date
Stefon Diggs is identified as Terry McLaurin's steepest target competition probably of his career at this point in the Washington Commanders offense, which is not expected to be great.NegativeRoleNo date
If traded to the Commanders, Diggs would likely take over the Debo Samuel-type role in the offense, filling a secondary receiver need without meaningfully displacing Terry McLaurin from his tier.PositiveMatchupNo date
Diggs would be a great fit for Mahomes because he's excellent at freelance plays and can still get open, addressing the Chiefs' need for a receiver who can beat coverage on third-and-long situations.PositiveMatchupNo date

Diggs was efficient last year but was a part-time player, running routes on only 68% of drop backs; he will now be a full-time player with the Patriots, providing a significant usage upgrade.
