Stefon Diggs, Drake Maye Reiterates his Goal of Wanting to Involve Stefon Diggs More

For the second straight week, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye said he wants to get the ball to wide receiver Stefon Diggs more, according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. "Got full trust in (Diggs). He just keeps showing it every week. You just try to get him the ball more. I told him that, you know, today," Maye said. After saying the same thing last week, Diggs was targeted a season-low three times and caught all three for a season-low 23 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 31-year-old veteran has at least been efficient in his first three games with the Pats, catching 13 of his 15 targets, but he's gone for only 112 yards and no touchdowns. It's possible he's lost some juice after tearing his ACL last year, but it's good news that his QB is looking to keep him involved. Diggs will be a low-upside, touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in a good Week 4 matchup at home against the Carolina Panthers.

TreVeyon Henderson, TreVeyon Henderson the First RB Up in Drills at Wednesday's Practice

ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss reports that New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson was the first up in a tackling/ball-carrier drill at Wednesday's practice, followed by Antonio Gibson and then Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson has been a disappointment for fantasy managers through the first three weeks of his rookie season, but his role might be about to take a huge jump after Gibson and Stevenson combined to lose three fumbles in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 22-year-old Ohio State product has failed to reach 30 rushing yards in all three games, although he did see a season-high 14 touches on Sunday after Gibson and Stevenson coughed up the football. The Pats will probably continue with a RB committee, but Henderson certainly could operate as the RB1 in Week 4 in a strong matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Kyle Williams, Kyle Williams Playing as the WR5 for Patriots

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams has had a quiet start to his NFL career. Through three games, he has caught both of his targets for 20 yards and has yet to play more than 10 snaps in a game. Williams currently sits behind Kayshon Boutte, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas on the depth chart, leaving him buried in the receiver rotation. The situation is made worse by the Patriots' offensive tendencies, as four of their top six leaders in receiving yards are tight ends or running backs. It's clear that Williams isn't a meaningful part of the passing attack yet, and his fantasy value is virtually nonexistent. Williams can safely be dropped in all redraft formats, though he still carries some long-term appeal in dynasty or keeper leagues.

Stefon Diggs, Stefon Diggs' Production Dwindles as Snap Share Grows

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has seen his snap share increase every week so far. However, his target, reception, and yardage totals have declined every week. To this point, the more he's on the field, the less he has been involved. This is unlikely to continue going forward, as his playing time and volume should start to balance out. Nevertheless, his fantasy value has been somewhat underwhelming, as he ranks as the overall WR58 in PPR leagues through three weeks. He caught just three passes for 23 yards last Sunday, and things won't get any easier for him in Week 4 against a Panthers defense that just shut out the Falcons. Diggs is worth scooping up off the waiver wire given his consistency and veteran presence, but it's hard to justify starting him in leagues with 14 teams or fewer.

Kayshon Boutte, Kayshon Boutte Leading the Way as Depth Chart Solidifies

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte led the position groups last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, getting on the field for 56 snaps, which equated to a 76 percent snap share. Boutte saw the field for at least 10 snaps more than each of his fellow receivers, and the only pass-catcher who out-snapped him was tight end Hunter Henry. Despite playing more than three quarters of the snaps this season, the LSU product has failed to replicate the Week 1 showing in which he caught six passes for 103 yards. Over his last two games combined, he has just three catches on four targets, though he did add a touchdown along the way. Boutte's snap share suggests he should be a low-end WR3/flex option, but his volume and production indicate that he should be left on the bench. For now, managers should oblige and leave the 23-year-old on the bench in most fantasy leagues. However, his ability to get on the field does spark some optimism.
