Stefon Diggs

Stefon Diggs, much like most starters in the first game of the preseason, did not do much in limited time on the field. Diggs finished with one catch for five yards before exiting the game to avoid a needless injury.

Fantasy Impact

Being the number-one receiver on an offense means not much work until the third preseason game. With the injuries Diggs suffered through last season, don't expect the Vikings to expose him to any unnecessary playing time before the start of the regular slate.

The Vikings team reporter Eric Smith has reported that Stefon Diggs caught touchdowns in back-to-back days last week, including one in a two-minute red zone drill, as well as one on a deep ball from Sam Bradford.

Fantasy Impact

It's been a quiet offseason for Diggs, which could turn out to be a good thing. He appears to be in perfect health, which is something that fantasy owners coveted last year. In the six games when off the injury report, Diggs averaged 9.3 receptions for 107 yards. He's said this offseason that health has been the biggest obstacle preventing him from truly breaking out. If last year was any indication, his current ADP as the 27th wide receiver off the board could turn out to be a steal. Diggs has all the tools to become a top-15 wide receiver in the NFL.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hip) is officially inactive for Week 17.

As expected, Diggs is ruled out for Sunday's contest against Chicago with a hip injury. Expect Cordarrelle Patterson and Charles Johnson to garner expanded roles in his absence. However, Adam Thielen is the only fantasy relevant wideout on the Vikings for Week 17.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hip) is listed as doubtful on the Week 17 injury report.

Fantasy Impact

Diggs is trending towards and inactive designation for the season finale Sunday against the Bears. He is listed as doubtful to play and if he is indeed ruled out, Adam Thielen should greatly benefit from his absence. Thielen is a rising WR3 for Week 17 whose value peaks in PPR scoring formats.

Stefon Diggs (hip) did not practice Wednesday, December 28 or Thursday, December 29.

Fantasy Impact

Diggs' absence from practice is likely disappointing to any fantasy owners hoping to play him in the finals as he did find the end zone in Week 16. With these missed practice sessions and the Vikings out of playoff contention, it's highly unlikely Diggs will see the field this weekend. Owners looking to fill out their roster in Diggs' absence can look to Adam Theilen, who has been incredibly productive the last two weeks, if Theilen has somehow remained available to this point.
