Stefon Diggs 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Injured WR Should Take A Backset To Rookie
The New England Patriots signed 31-year-old wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a three-year, $63 million contract ahead of the 2025 season. While many might assume that number ensures that he'll be the No. 1 receiver for the team moving forward, he tore his ACL around the middle of 2024, and typically, WRs going into a season where they'll turn 32 after having sustained a major knee injury the year before don't perform too well. The Pats invested significant draft capital in rookie WR Kyle Williams, a talented and highly underrated route-runner and after-catch specialist. It's likely that Williams, who has a great combination of height, speed, and sudden releases on his routes, will take over the WR1 job in short time. Diggs wasn't particularly efficient even in a slot-heavy role in 2024 with the Texans, and this year's free-agent WR market was very weak, so he probably got an inflated contract. Quarterback Drake Maye was excellent in 2024, and Diggs could have a valuable slot role yet again, but he won't finish above Williams this year, barring Williams getting hurt, of course.
