New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been "remarkably fluid in his routes and a consistent target" for quarterback Drake Maye, according to Chad Graff of The Athletic. It's a great sign for the 31-year-old coming off an ACL tear he suffered in October 2024. Diggs played well for the Houston Texans before the injury, hauling in 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight games. The Patriots signed him to a three-year, $63.5 million contract this past offseason, and he'll be relied upon to be the number one receiver in an offense that is desperate for playmakers in the passing game. Diggs may no longer have the same downfield juice he did in his peak, but he could be a PPR monster if healthy. In Drake Maye's second season, New England's offense should be improved to at least some degree relative to 2024.

Carolina Panthers veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen said that he talked with his family, and they wanted him to play in 2025. He plans to go through a similar process after this season, which is the final year of his contract. Depending on how the 34-year-old feels and what his family thinks after the 2025 campaign, Thielen could hang up his cleats and retire. He's returning for a third season in Carolina after playing in a career-low 10 games in 2024 due to a hamstring injury. In those 10 games, he caught 48 of his 62 targets for 615 yards and five touchdowns. He should continue to be a trusted weapon for young quarterback Bryce Young out of the slot this year, but the addition of first-round rookie wideout Tetairoa McMillan will surely make Thielen harder to trust as a WR3/flex in fantasy based on volume alone like he was in 2023, when he recorded the third 1,000-yard season of his career on 103 targets.
Still trying to decide between Diggs and Thielen? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Stefon Diggs is projected to score 12.5 points this week while Adam Thielen is projected to score 9.6 points.
