Stefon Diggs Faces Daunting Divisional-Round Task

Stefon Diggs Faces Daunting Divisional-Round Task

10 months ago

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs posted his second straight seven-catch effort in last Monday's wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he failed to score for the sixth week in a row. Diggs handled the shadow coverage of top Steelers cornerback Joey Porter fairly well, but things won't get any easier in Sunday's Divisional Round versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs gave up the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts in the regular season, and Diggs also lines up for shadow treatment against L'Jarius Sneed, who allowed zero touchdowns and the fewest PPR fantasy points per target (1.00) over 16 games in 2023. Primarily covering Diggs when these squads clashed in Week 14, Sneed clamped down on him for Diggs' season low in yards (24). Without a 100-yard showing since Week 6, Diggs' looks more boom-or-bust than ever, but that should at least depress his DFS rostership and offer some contrarian appeal.
