Stefon Diggs

What shadow cornerback? Diggs manhandled Darius Slay last week to the tune of 6/92/0, highlighting just how dangerous he is, even in tough matchups. He gets another one this week against the Chargers and Casey Hayward. They're a team who plays a ton of zone coverage which isn't ideal for Diggs, who continually beats cornerbacks with his routes and has done better versus man coverage. They've allowed a massive 69.8 percent catch-rate to wide receivers, though the 11.2 yards per reception is the second-lowest mark in the league behind only the Bills. Another thing working against Diggs is that the Chargers have seen a league-low 15.8 targets per game to wide receivers, which stems from the fact that quarterbacks have averaged just 29.4 pass attempts per game. The Vikings rank 29th in pass attempts themselves (29.8 per game), so it doesn't look great. Diggs should still be played as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 but there are a lot of factors working against him in this one.

Fantasy Impact

Diggs led the Vikings in receiving Sunday, amassing a healthy receiving line in the blowout win. He'll continue to operate as the unquestioned No. 1 while Adam Thielen is sidelined.
