The Athletic's Chad Graff speculates that New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) could be reasonably ready to make his 2025 debut in Week 4 in a best-case scenario. When Diggs is fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 8 last year with the Houston Texans, he'll be a reliable top target for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. The 31-year-old Diggs probably isn't the All-Pro he was earlier in his career, but he's just two years removed from 1,183 receiving yards with the Buffalo Bills. Graff also discusses the possibility that Diggs deals with nagging effects from his ACL tear and doesn't look like the same receiver at all. Working with Maye makes Diggs intriguing as a bounce-back candidate, but it all hinges on his health and how productive he can be following the serious knee injury. In fantasy, he'll be a pretty big dice roll.
