Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or DK Metcalf

Saturday, September 13, 11:09 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs continues to have some fantasy appeal for Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins. Diggs was out-snapped and out-produced by Kayshon Boutte, but the veteran still turned in a solid showing of his own with seven targets, six catches, and 57 yards. We can expect similar usage and productivity from Diggs this week as he takes on the Dolphins, who were ripped to pieces by the Indianapolis Colts last week. There's still a good chance that Boutte and perhaps even Hunter Henry remain ahead of Diggs in the pecking order, but with a favorable matchup on tap, he can still carve out a fantasy-relevant role. He ranks as a low-end WR3/flex option this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf performed well in his first game in the black and gold and now gets a chance at revenge against the team that traded him earlier this year, the Seattle Seahawks. Metcalf told reporters that Sunday's contest is "just another football game", but the 27-year-old will surely be targeted early and often as the de facto top pass-catcher for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. While he wasn't on the receiving end of any of Rodgers' four touchdown tosses in Week 1, he still paced Pittsburgh in targets and receiving yards while flashing his trademark explosiveness. The Seahawks struggled to contain opposing wideouts in 2024 and just allowed 108 yards to Ricky Pearsall last week, suggesting Metcalf could be in line for another productive showing. He offers plenty of upside as a rock-solid WR2 in Week 2.
