Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Bucky Irving

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) "looks" ready for Week 1, according to The Greg Hill Show of WEEI. The veteran wideout has been working his way back from a torn ACL during training camp. The Patriots have opted to keep the veteran out of action during the preseason out of precaution. However, seeing him participate fully in the team's recent practice sessions suggests he should not face many restrictions at the start of the regular season. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback. In the offseason, the Patriots signed Diggs to a three-year deal to lead a weak New England pass-catching room. Given his role as the clear WR1 in the offense, Diggs is an intriguing option as a WR2 in PPR formats, given his hefty projected target share.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving played the first three offensive drives during Saturday's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Irving was one of the few offensive skill-position players to actually take the field on Saturday. The 22-year-old didn't have a ton of success as he rushed eight times for 12 yards on the ground. However, Irving made up for it with a 15-yard touchdown grab from Teddy Bridgewater. Irving is penciled in as the primary back in Tampa Bay with Rachaad White mixing in for carries as well.
