Stefon Diggs Still Looks Like a Reliable Target-Earner in Washington

Wednesday, September 30, 12:21 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs has gotten off to a hot start in 2026, recording 13 catches for 135 yards and three touchdowns on 22 targets across three games. The 32-year-old was held in check by the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, logging just 33 receiving yards on four receptions. However, Diggs still saw seven targets in backup quarterback Marcus Mariota's first start in place of injured Washington QB1 Jayden Daniels (elbow). Mariota also threw three touchdown passes in a tough matchup against the Seahawks, which should help ease concerns about his ability to provide opportunities for Diggs to produce while Daniels remains out. Diggs may not have much big-play at this point in his career, but he remains a reliable target-earner and a solid WR3/flex option in PPR leagues entering Week 4.

Brian Thomas Jr. Continues to Draw Trade Interest

Wednesday, September 30, 7:41 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. continues to draw interest from teams around the league, according to ESPN. Clubs have reportedly checked on Thomas since the offseason, though Jacksonville told teams at the time that it wasn't interested in moving the 2024 first-round pick. That stance may not have changed. Still, Thomas has been much quieter than Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers through three games, catching seven passes for 88 yards with no touchdowns. His role shrunk considerably against New England on Sunday, when he played only 23 offensive snaps and caught one pass for eight yards. ESPN expects teams to continue asking about Thomas as the trade deadline approaches, but it would reportedly take a strong offer for Jacksonville to consider moving him.
