60% COIN FLIP → 64% COIN FLIP

Every call we wrote for him this week, earliest first, as written.

In short

Stefon Diggs is a starter at wide receiver for WAS — 66% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has a hamstring injury. His team named him inactive in week 5. This week he did not practise. His team has listed him Questionable. We called him PLAY in week 5 and he did not play.

The reader concurs · grade C

The sole passage is a Thursday 15 Oct practice note that Washington "practiced without receiver Stefon Diggs" with a hamstring (P1) — that is a practice-axis absence early in the window, not a game status for Monday 19 Oct, so it does not contradict a PLAY call. The same beat report leaves a mid-week return explicitly open: "Those guys could return to work later in the week" (P1), consistent with the dossier's measured LTD line. Nothing written contradicts the model's call, but with no later practice day and no designation in evidence the support is thin, hence grade C. It would need to know: Washington's club practice participation for Diggs on Fri 16, Sat 17 and Sun 18 Oct (DNP/LTD/FULL); The final injury report designation filed ahead of Monday 19 Oct (Out/Doubtful/Questionable/none); A direct Dan Quinn or Stefon Diggs quote on the hamstring's severity or expected availability for Monday 19 Oct; Whether Washington signed or elevated an extra wide receiver ahead of Monday 19 Oct, implying a planned absence; Whether Diggs appeared in a non-contact jersey or worked on the side on any later practice day
