Across 17 games in 2025, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs recorded 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns on 102 targets. In his first season with the Patriots, the 32-year-old proved he can still be one of the most reliable possession receivers in the NFL. However, just a few days before Week 18, Diggs was charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. Diggs played in Week 18 and is expected to be active for New England's Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Still, he's scheduled to be arraigned on January 23, so his outlook for later in the playoffs could be murkier. As long as Diggs is on the field, he profiles as one of the top wide receiver options for fantasy managers in PPR-scoring playoff leagues.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is a strong fantasy asset for this Sunday's home matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The 32-year-old veteran is coming off a second straight 100-yard outing and is having a nice season overall, despite eclipsing 60% of the team's snaps just twice in 16 appearances. In Week 18, he's positioned for another useful performance as the Pats vie for first place in the AFC. While Miami has, on paper, been one of the tougher units against fantasy wideouts, quarterback Drake Maye has been excellent in 2025 and carved up the Fins back in a 33-27 Week 2 win. Diggs' 4/32 line in that outing may not be encouraging, but his recent involvement is, notching at least six catches and 101 yards in three of his last six games. He'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR15 for the season's final week.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is expected to play in a Week 18 game against the Dolphins, days after being charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. The Patriots released a statement on Tuesday, showing support for their 32-year-old receiver, and with Diggs' arraignment not scheduled until January 23rd, it does not appear that any punishment or suspension is imminent. Diggs enters the week with 82 receptions and 970 yards, and with contract incentives for both 90 receptions and 1,000 yards, it would come as no surprise if he is heavily involved on Sunday. The number one seed in the AFC is still in play for the Patriots, and they are expected to play their starters, so their final game against Miami is one to be looked at by any fantasy managers still playing for a Week 18 championship.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been charged with felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges stemming from an incident in early December, per Frank O'Laughlin of Boston 25 News. O'Laughlin reports that Diggs is scheduled to be arraigned on January 23, two days before the AFC Championship game is scheduled to take place. The 32-year-old wideout has recorded 82 catches for 970 yards and four touchdowns on 99 targets across 16 games in his first season in New England. It's unclear whether these charges will impact Diggs' availability for the postseason, but any absence would obviously be a major loss for the Patriots' offense. New England recently placed wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) on Injured Reserve, so the team's depth at the position may be tested going forward.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught all six of his targets for 101 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 17 win over the New York Jets. After a three-week lull, Diggs has bounced back in a huge way, catching 15 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown over his last two games. The veteran receiver has earned the full trust of MVP candidate Drake Maye, whether it's a medium pass to move the chains or a tricky pass into coverage downfield. There's certainly some risk associated with starting Diggs given his occasional inconsistency this year, but his role and recent success will keep him as a top-15 fantasy receiver for Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins. He should continue to be started in all leagues.
Dec 28, 2025 5:25 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs' snap share has been held in check this season. The veteran has been on the field for just 54.2% of the snaps in 2025, which has allowed him to remain productive while also staying fresh and healthy. However, he could be tasked with handling more snaps in Week 17 against the New York Jets, purely out of necessity. New England is dealing with numerous wide receiver injuries; Kayshon Boutte (concussion) is ruled out, Mack Hollins (abdomen) is ruled out, and DeMario Douglas (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Diggs, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism are the Patriots' healthy receivers, and even if Douglas suits up, the Patriots will need all four receivers to handle larger roles. That could mean that Diggs, who caught nine passes for 138 yards on a 59% snap share last week, could get on the field for more than two-thirds of the offensive plays. In theory, more snaps should lead to more targets for Diggs, who could feast against a Jets defense that most recently surrendered 10 catches, 148 yards, and two touchdowns to Chris Olave. The veteran pass-catcher is a strong WR2 option in most fantasy leagues this week.
Dec 27, 2025 8:34 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs will look to get back on track in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens following a disappointing three-game stretch. Over his last three contests, Diggs has played fewer than half of the offensive snaps with just 11 targets, eight catches, 72 yards, and zero touchdowns. He ranks as the overall WR82 in full-PPR fantasy points per game during that span. It has been a frustrating stretch for a veteran receiver who had previously strung together five consecutive contests with double-digit fantasy points. This week, he'll take on a Ravens secondary that has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to slot receivers in 2025. That doesn't bode well for Diggs, who has played 49.8% of his snaps in the slot and has the 19th-most slot snaps in the NFL this year. Managers can absolutely justify benching the 32-year-old in fantasy leagues with 12 or fewer teams. He ranks as the overall WR31 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.
Dec 20, 2025 12:55 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has recorded three of his five lowest yardage totals of the season over the past three games, collecting 26 yards or less in each contest. The 32-year-old's snaps have seemingly been managed all season, and he's never quite gotten up to a near-every-snap role, maxing out at a 68.7% snap share in Week 11. The veteran's playing time has dipped since then, logging 50% of the snaps or less in the past three games, accounting for three of his four lowest marks of the season. Diggs has still put together a solid season in his first year with the Patriots and holds plenty of upside for receptions as Drake Maye's No. 1 target. However, given the recent struggles, he profiles more as a WR3 for Week 16's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football.
Dec 20, 2025 12:41 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is gearing up for another potential revenge game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. When these two teams last faced each other in Week 5, Diggs exploded for his best game of the season, amassing 12 targets, 10 catches, and 146 receiving yards. The veteran receiver had an impressive stretch of performances near the middle of the season, but he came back down to earth over the last two weeks, totaling just five catches and zero touchdowns during that span while playing fewer than half of the offensive snaps. Despite recently failing to live up to his expectations, Diggs is still a very talented receiver who has repeatedly earned Drake Maye's trust. He has a strong chance to bounce back against his old team in Week 15. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR21 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.
Dec 12, 2025 10:49 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs let down his fantasy managers last Sunday, catching just two passes for 20 yards as he finished with his first single-digit fantasy performance (PPR) since Week 6. He still has a solid 61 catches, 679 yards, and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR17 this season, which is impressive considering that he has played only 54.6% of the offensive snaps. Despite his smaller snap share, Diggs typically takes advantage of every opportunity presented to him. Therefore, even if he continues to play fewer than 60% of the snaps on Monday night against the New York Giants, he can still be a fringe top-12 receiver in fantasy football. Fortunately for Diggs, the Giants have allowed the third-most receiving yards and fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Just last week, they surrendered nine catches, 149 yards, and one touchdown to Amon-Ra St. Brown. With such an enticing matchup headed his way, Diggs ranks as the overall WR13 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 13.
Nov 30, 2025 7:47 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught just two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. His underwhelming performance was likely the result of Drake Maye funneling a large portion of his pass attempts to the tight end position. Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper combined for 10 catches, 154 yards, and one touchdown against a Bengals defense notorious for getting exposed by tight ends. Diggs saw his streak of five double-digit fantasy performances (PPR) come to an end on Sunday afternoon, but he's still a mid-range WR2 in terms of scoring this year. He should continue to be started in most leagues ahead of Week 13 against the New York Giants.
Nov 23, 2025 6:05 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (finger) has consistently operated as Drake Maye's favorite target, keeping him in the low-end WR1 tier for fantasy football in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran pass catcher has reportedly been playing through a broken finger, and despite the ailment, he has amassed 27 catches, 272 yards, and three touchdowns over his last five games. He has strung together five consecutive games with double-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues despite playing fewer than 61% of the snaps in four of those five contests. He ranks eighth in the NFL in fantasy points per route run, making each of his plays incredibly valuable. Even against a Bengals defense allowing the 14th-fewest fantasy points to receivers and the fewest fantasy points to receivers who play out wide, Diggs should be deployed as a WR1 in most fantasy leagues.
Nov 22, 2025 10:25 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught nine of his 11 targets for 105 yards during Thursday's Week 11 victory over the New York Jets. The 31-year-old has been terrific lately, and even though his three-game touchdown streak came to an end Thursday, he still has five consecutive games with 10+ fantasy points (PPR). Diggs was on the field for 69.7 percent of the snaps in the victory, eclipsing his previous season-high by more than six percentage points. The increased involvement is a promising sign for fantasy managers, and so, too, is his continued success. The Patriots are on a roll, and their top pass catcher should continue to be deployed as a high-end WR2 heading into next week's battle against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Nov 14, 2025 12:21 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs will look to extend his touchdown streak to four games during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. Diggs has posted modest volume lately, but the touchdown streak has been enough for him to rack up double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in four consecutive weeks. He continues to play just over half of the team's offensive snaps, perhaps limiting his ceiling. Nevertheless, he remains the most talented receiver in New England's offense, and Drake Maye has plenty of trust in him. He should continue to produce against the Jets and could benefit from the absence of Sauce Gardner, whom New York traded away one week ago. Diggs ranks as a low-end WR2.
Nov 13, 2025 12:30 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has seen low volume while playing just over 50 percent of the snaps lately, but he has still been able to achieve fantasy relevance with a touchdown in each of his last two games. In addition to his two-game touchdown streak, he has double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in three consecutive contests. He'll look to build on both streaks during Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran wide receiver could see his target share and snap share both increase in Week 10 with Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined. Diggs ranks as a low-end WR2 against the Bucs, who have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.
Nov 8, 2025 6:48 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been a steady contributor in fantasy football this season. Through eight games, he's averaging 11.9 fantasy points (full-PPR) while ranking as the overall WR26. He has posted double-digit points in four of his last five games, and he salvaged last week's fantasy outing with his first touchdown of the season. While Kayshon Boutte has been a big-play threat in New England, Diggs has been more of a reliable, short-to-medium passing option for Drake Maye. The 31-year-old is listed first on the depth chart of a 6-2 team whose offense is firing on all cylinders. That's always a good sign. Despite the Falcons allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, Diggs should be deployed as a low-end WR2.
Nov 1, 2025 9:49 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ankle) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Diggs has been dealing with a chest injury throughout most of the season. Now, Diggs is dealing with an ankle problem, but it doesn't sound like a serious issue. Barring any setbacks, Diggs should be out there for the Week 9 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Diggs scored his first touchdown of the season last week. Despite the lack of scoring, Diggs has been a viable option most weeks. He should offer low-end WR2 value for this weekend's contest.
Oct 29, 2025 9:49 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (chest) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday. He has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. The veteran receiver has impressed lately, catching 26 passes for 344 yards over his last four games, though he's still looking for his first touchdown of the 2025 season. Diggs delivered some very solid fantasy performances against the Panthers, Bills, and Titans, and he should find similar success against a Browns defense whose biggest weakness is depending the pass. Cleveland is specifically poor against receivers playing out wide, as they've allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to perimeter receivers in 2025. They also rank near league average in terms of points allowed to slot receivers. We could see Diggs enjoy a big week against the Browns, especially if the Patriots' rushing attack can't get going and Maye finds himself with a reduced amount of time to get the football out. Diggs ranks as a high-end WR3/flex, but there's no denying his upside in a high-volume receiving role.
Oct 25, 2025 9:30 AM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (chest) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday due to a chest injury. Diggs' chest injury isn't considered serious, so the 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher should be able to play without any restrictions for this Sunday's upcoming matchup against the visiting Cleveland Browns. The four-time Pro Bowler is still searching for his first touchdown of the member of the Patriots, but he has been impressively efficient while working with improved quarterback Drake Maye so far this year. Diggs has caught 39 of his 44 targets for 456 yards and is coming off a seven-catch, 69-yard performance in the Week 7 win over the Tennessee Titans. Diggs and the Patriots' passing game will face a difficult matchup against Cleveland's defense this weekend, where he should be considered more of a low-end WR2 play.
Oct 23, 2025 6:53 PM EST
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (chest) was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday, according to the team. Diggs dealt with the same injury last week in practice and was ultimately able to play through it, and ran his normal route share in Week 7 against the Titans. It was another productive game for the 31-year-old wideout, catching all seven targets for 69 yards. Diggs will likely be good to go again in Week 8 against the Browns and ranks as a fringe WR1/WR2 option.
