Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Christian Watson

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (chest) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday. He has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. The veteran receiver has impressed lately, catching 26 passes for 344 yards over his last four games, though he's still looking for his first touchdown of the 2025 season. Diggs delivered some very solid fantasy performances against the Panthers, Bills, and Titans, and he should find similar success against a Browns defense whose biggest weakness is depending the pass. Cleveland is specifically poor against receivers playing out wide, as they've allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to perimeter receivers in 2025. They also rank near league average in terms of points allowed to slot receivers. We could see Diggs enjoy a big week against the Browns, especially if the Patriots' rushing attack can't get going and Maye finds himself with a reduced amount of time to get the football out. Diggs ranks as a high-end WR3/flex, but there's no denying his upside in a high-volume receiving role.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) has been activated from injured reserve and is set to make his season debut on Sunday night when the Packers face the Pittsburgh Steelers. The former second-round pick has been on the shelf since suffering an ACL injury during the 2024 campaign. However, Watson was able to return to practice earlier this month and has finally been cleared to return to action. Last season, the North Dakota State product tallied a career-high 620 receiving yards on just 29 receptions through 15 games. With Dontayvion Wicks (calf) already ruled out and rookie Matthew Golden (hip) carrying a questionable tag, Watson could be in line for a prominent role this weekend. He is worth a look as a high-upside WR3 in all formats facing a struggling Pittsburgh secondary.
