Stefon Diggs Expected to Suit Up in Week 1
According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) is expected to be ready for their season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Mike Vrabel noted that "As of today, he'll be out there." Reiss projects Diggs to be placed at the top of the depth chart, serving as Drake Maye's top target while DeMario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte slot in as the No. 2 and No. 3. Reiss also expects veteran Mack Hollins to find a role as well. Last season, Diggs suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 of the regular season. Before the injury, Diggs was finding success with the Texans, averaging 15.6 PPR points through the first seven games. During this stretch, he found the back of the end zone three times and saw 7.9 targets per game. Given the lack of proven success outside of Diggs on the depth chart, fantasy managers should view him as a high-floor WR3 in PPR leagues if he is cleared to suit up.
