Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or George Pickens

Wednesday, October 15, 9:17 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (chest) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It appears the veteran wideout is dealing with a minor chest issue. It's unclear when he picked up the injury, but it shouldn't be something that sidelines him in Week 7. Diggs posted back-to-back 100-yard games before giving fantasy managers a 28-yard dud this past weekend. The 31-year-old has a plus-matchup against the Tennessee Titans this weekend. Just to be safe, fantasy managers should check back later in the week to confirm Diggs is fine for Sunday's game.

Through six weeks, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens leads the NFL with six touchdown receptions, while his 525 yards trail only Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua. Asked on Tuesday about a potential contract extension, Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones touched upon Pickens' fit within the locker room before saying the team would need to think about "having some room available if [they] are gonna pay a second receiver at that level." The Cowboys acquired Pickens in an offseason trade, and as he plays out the final season of his rookie contract, he currently represents the gem of the 2026 free agency class at the position. It remains to be seen if he can keep up his torrid pace when CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returns from injury, but wherever he ends up next season, he'll likely see a deal in excess of $30 million per year. He should be viewed as a fringe WR1 in both redraft and dynasty formats.
