Stefon Diggs 2022 Outlook: Another Shot At The Overall WR1
3 years agoAfter being the surprise overall WR1 in 2020, Stefon Diggs came down to earth a bit last year. He still managed to finish as the WR7, but fantasy managers did not quite get what they paid for. Last year, his stat line totaled 103 catches for 1,225 yards and 10 scores. It is not common that a player with 10 touchdowns could be seen as a candidate for positive touchdown regression, but Diggs' advanced metrics would suggest otherwise. He had 23 end zone targets, which was easily the best in the league. However, his ratio of touchdowns to end zone targets was only 41.7%. The average ratio of touchdowns to end zone targets for the top 50 target leaders in 2021 was 75.7%, indicating that Diggs left some tremendous scoring opportunities on the table. Getting a high quantity and quality of targets in a great offense gives Diggs as much upside as anyone at the position. With the trades of Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, and A.J. Brown, Diggs is rock-solid toward the top of the fantasy wide receiver ranks and could be a sneaky candidate to repeat his 2020 performance.
