Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or George Pickens

Sunday, November 30, 7:47 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs let down his fantasy managers last Sunday, catching just two passes for 20 yards as he finished with his first single-digit fantasy performance (PPR) since Week 6. He still has a solid 61 catches, 679 yards, and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR17 this season, which is impressive considering that he has played only 54.6% of the offensive snaps. Despite his smaller snap share, Diggs typically takes advantage of every opportunity presented to him. Therefore, even if he continues to play fewer than 60% of the snaps on Monday night against the New York Giants, he can still be a fringe top-12 receiver in fantasy football. Fortunately for Diggs, the Giants have allowed the third-most receiving yards and fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Just last week, they surrendered nine catches, 149 yards, and one touchdown to Amon-Ra St. Brown. With such an enticing matchup headed his way, Diggs ranks as the overall WR13 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 13.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has already posted career highs in receptions (73), receiving yards (1,142), and touchdowns in 12 games this season. Pickens has been a seamless fit in his first year with the Cowboys and has formed one of the most dynamic wide receiver duos in the league with CeeDee Lamb. The 24-year-old was limited in practice on Monday with calf and knee injuries, but he has been cleared from the injury report and is all set to play Thursday night against the Detroit Lions. It's a dream matchup for the former Pittsburgh Steeler, as Detroit has played man coverage at a league-high 42.8% clip this season. Pickens has arguably been the best receiver against man coverage this season, leading all players by a wide margin with 463 yards against man, per Fantasy Points Data. In a matchup featuring the highest projected point total of the week, Pickens profiles as one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football in Week 14.
