Stefon Diggs

After a long offseason, Stefon Diggs is finally a Washington Commander. We've all speculated all offseason that Diggs would possibly land with Washington, and now it has come to fruition. Diggs had a strong 2025 season that proved that he has plenty left in the tank to post a strong fantasy season in 2026. Last year, he was the WR23 in fantasy points per game with only a 65.4% route share (62nd out of 109 qualifying receivers). Among 109 qualifying receivers, he was stellar on a per-route basis, ranking 22nd in target per route run rate (25%), 20th in receiving yards per game (59.6), and eighth in yards per route run (2.53) and first downs per route run (0.127, per Fantasy Points Data). Among the same sample of receivers, he was also 28th in overall separation score, 18th in separation versus man coverage, 22nd in route win rate against man coverage, and 11th in yards per route run against both man and zone coverages. Diggs didn't show any falloff, so I'm not projecting that for 2026, being even further out from his ACL reconstruction. Diggs is a strong WR3 with upside this season. I expect the Washington passing attack to be funneled through Diggs and Terry McLaurin.

The Washington Commanders have signed WR Stefon Diggs

Fantasy Impact

Diggs had been closely linked to Washington for a while. He should step into the immediate No. 2 wide receiver role behind Terry McLaurin. He is coming off a 1,000 yard season with the Patriots. This likely means they won't be signing Brandon Aiyuk.
