The source questions whether Terry McLaurin will see more targets with Mariota under center or if Mariota will turn to new targets like Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams, suggesting Diggs could be a beneficiary of the QB change. Diggs has a TD scorer prop at +360 and a receiving yards prop over/under of 33.5.

Diggs faces a tough Week 3 matchup against Seattle's elite slot coverage. He has run from the slot at a team-high 66 percent rate. Seattle has given up only 68 yards on slot targets through two weeks (fourth highest total in the league) and QBs are averaging just 0.1 fantasy points per drop back when throwing to slot receivers against the Hawks. Washington's likely decrease in pass volume and Marcus Mariota's propensity to throw downfield compound the matchup concerns. Jaylin Noel is looking for reasons to play someone else in Week 3, though acknowledges you may not be in a position to bench Diggs.

Received a C+ start/sit grade for Week 3 matchup against Seattle, indicating limited fantasy upside in this specific week.

The Commanders have to downgrade their entire offense this week after losing Jayden Daniels. Even though Marcus Mariota can give them 60-70% of what Jayden Daniels did, the loss of their franchise quarterback completely changes how defenses prepare for this attack. While they might eventually settle in with Mariota under center, that's not going to happen this week against a Seahawks defense that's allowing the fewest fantasy points to receivers. Diggs will be startable in other weeks, but he's a risky TD-or-bust flex option in this contest.

The source ranks Stefon Diggs at WR39 and includes him in the 'Start' category for the Commanders, positioning him as a stud despite the five-WR rotation and Marcus Mariota at QB. Diggs is one of only two Commanders pass catchers the source recommends starting.

Diggs played 36 offensive snaps in Week 2 against Dallas and recorded 5 receptions on 6 targets for 47 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns, earning a 76.4 PFF grade; strong target volume and touchdown production suggest consistent offensive role.

Diggs played 36 offensive snaps in Week 2 against Dallas, recording 5 receptions on 6 targets for 47 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns with a 76.4 PFF grade; strong target volume and touchdown production early in the season.

Diggs faces a tough matchup against Seattle in Week 3.

The source advises selling Stefon Diggs because he is approaching 33 years old and playing in a bottom-three offense, limiting his upside to a flex play rather than a top-15 receiver; the source suggests moving him for younger assets like Carnell Tate.

Stefon Diggs is signed to the Commanders for just one year, creating potential roster flexibility for 2027.

Stefon Diggs was outsnapped by Dyami Brown in the Cowboys loss. Offensive coordinator David Blough explained the snap distribution was driven by game script (down two scores, 11 personnel splits), suggesting Diggs' role may be situational rather than a consistent lead role.

Stefon Diggs received fewer snaps than Dyami Brown in the Week 2 loss to Dallas. Offensive coordinator David Blough explained that game flow—specifically being down two scores and running 11 personnel—led to Brown getting more opportunities, though Diggs remains part of the trusted rotation.

Playing primarily in the slot, Diggs caught 5-of-6 targets (83.3%) for 47 yds at an ADOT of 12.0 yds, and was 2-for-2 on contested targets. He was the Commanders' most productive receiver at 2.04 Y/RR. His 83.3% receiving success rate might lead the team in many games, but was only fifth best on Sunday.

Diggs has been the Commanders' clear-cut No. 1 wideout. Marcus Mariota's insertion under center changes the entire calculus, but if Diggs keeps getting open, he will keep commanding more looks than Terry McLaurin.

Diggs is ranked 29th among Week 3 WRs by the source.

Stefon Diggs leads the Commanders in receiving statistics through the first two games of the 2026 season, ahead of rookie Antonio Williams who has the second-best receiving stats on the team.

Ron Stewart identifies Stefon Diggs as a rare successful late-round draft hit and is actively targeting him in trade negotiations.

Diggs is WR10 in fantasy points per game with a 21.7% target share, 2.17 YPRR, four red zone targets, three deep targets, and 24.4% first-read share. However, Seattle has utilized two high at the seventh-highest rate in the NFL (64.4%). Against two high, Diggs has had a 27% target-per-route run rate but only 1.14 YPRR. Seattle has also shut down slot receivers, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per target and the second-fewest yards per target to the position. The source recommends sitting Diggs this week despite his hot start, citing the unfavorable matchup.

Stefon Diggs ranks WR10 in fantasy points per game with a 21.7% target share, 2.17 YPRR, four red zone targets, three deep targets, and a 24.4% first-read share. While he should see solid volume this week, the source does not expect him to continue his hot streak. Seattle utilizes two-high coverage at the seventh-highest rate in the NFL (64.4%); against two-high, Diggs has a 27% target-per-route run rate but only 1.14 YPRR. Seattle has also shut down slot receivers, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per target and second-fewest yards per target to the position. The source advises to 'Sit Diggs, if possible.'

Diggs has had a fast start as WR10 in fantasy points per game with 21.7% target share, 2.17 YPRR, four red zone targets, three deep targets, and 24.4% first-read share. However, the source expects his hot streak to cool in Week 3 against Seattle's two-high coverage (64.4% rate, seventh-highest in NFL); against two high, Diggs has produced only 1.14 YPRR despite 27% target-per-route-run rate. Seattle has also shut down slot receivers, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per target and second-fewest yards per target to the position.

Diggs has had a great start to the season (WR9 in half-PPR, targeted on 24.2% of routes, averaging 0.45 fantasy points per route run), but faces a tough matchup this week against Devon Witherspoon (SEA). Witherspoon has allowed just 0.15 fantasy points per route run (fifth-lowest among Week 3 corners) and is being targeted on only 12.3% of routes. With Marcus Mariota starting at QB for Washington, the source recommends benching Diggs if you have better options to start over him.
