Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or CeeDee Lamb

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.

The Athletic's Jon Machota writes that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been the clear standout at this year's training camp. "Lamb has been all business on the field. It's been rare to see him drop a ball in individual or team drills. He's had one so far. And it bothers him. He came to California with a goal to 'catch everything,'" Machota writes. He goes on to say that the chemistry between Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott "looks ready for Week 1." The Cowboys brought in George Pickens in the offseason, and Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams is trying to find the best way to utilize the strengths of both Lamb and Pickens. A little more of the spotlight could go to Pickens in 2025, but Lamb is still in a great spot at 26 and in the prime of his career. After four straight 1,000-yard seasons, Lamb is an easy top-five fantasy receiver.
