Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Deebo Samuel Sr.

According to former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan, wideout Stefon Diggs (knee) has looked good during OTAs, so much so that he didn't remember the infamous Memorial Day boating video. "I've already forgotten about the boat video. I thought [Diggs] looked great," said Hogan. "It's earlier, I think, than most people expected coming back from an ACL injury. I love the way he's looking running routes and cutting." The veteran will presumably miss time to begin the 2025-26 campaign after tearing his ACL in Week 8 while still a member of the Houston Texans. Although it's still early, it appears Diggs at least has a chance to exceed expectations on a timetable to return, which would undoubtedly be good news for quarterback Drake Maye, who is hoping to improve in his second season in the National Football League.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is pretty excited to work with new wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. in 2025, and the two have already developed some nice chemistry this offseason. "I'm excited to throw him a little screen and hopefully on the stat sheet it says a touchdown for 80 yards and I didn't have to do any of the work," Daniels said while laughing. Samuel once again battled through injuries in a 2024 campaign that saw him catch just 51 passes for 670 yards and three touchdowns on 81 targets while the Niners offense fell apart without running back Christian McCaffrey. The 29-year-old will be an interesting fit in Kliff Kingsbury's offense, but it's quite possible Samuel's physical style of play has taken a toll on him and caused him to lose a step. Samuel is going to need to be productive after the catch to retain value in fantasy. RotoBaller has him ranked as the WR43 going into the 2025 season.
