Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Stefon Diggs

Sunday, December 7, 8:32 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) appears to be on the verge of returning to game action. Evans has been sidelined since breaking his collarbone in Week 7. Before that, Evans missed three games due to a hamstring injury. The veteran wideout hasn't really made an impact on the field since Week 3. He returned to practice this week but was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Evans is pushing to suit up for next week's Thursday Night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. His return would be a significant boost for Tampa Bay's offense down the stretch of the season. If he's not able to play on Thursday, Evans would more than likely return versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Evans as he's expected to return for the fantasy playoffs. Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Tez Johnson will continue to see an increase in targets while Evans remains out.

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.
