Bills Trying To Keep Stefon Diggs Fresh

11 months ago

Buffalo Bills struggling wide receiver Stefon Diggs was on the field for just 65% of the offensive snaps in the Week 17 win over the New England Patriots and hasn't topped a 70% snap share since Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady said on Monday that he and Diggs are on the same page about his usage. Brady said the reasoning is to keep Diggs fresh and to make sure quarterback Josh Allen and the offense is efficient when targeting Diggs. Buffalo has also had a renewed focus on the run game in the last four weeks, with Diggs going for only 17 catches on 31 targets for 127 yards and no TDs. The 30-year-old will have a nice chance to bounce back in Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins, though. In the wild-card win over Miami last year, he had a team-high seven catches for 114 yards and then caught six passes for 120 yards and three touchdowns in Week 4 of this season against the Dolphins.
