Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Stefon Diggs

Tuesday, September 2, 9:39 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods from their practice squad, per an announcement from the team. Woods played in 15 games for the Houston Texans in 2024, recording 20 catches for 203 yards. The 33-year-old has been a steadily productive NFL receiver for over a decade, but he could be nearing the end of the road. Pittsburgh does not have much proven wide receiver depth behind top wideout DK Metcalf, so giving up on Woods could be telling of just how little juice the veteran has left in the tank. Even if Woods signs elsewhere, he should remain off the fantasy radar in 2025.

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.
