Stefon Diggs News
Monday, October 26, 9:52 AM
Washington Commanders veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) missed the team's Week 5 tie with the Giants and again appeared on the injury report with a hamstring concern ahead of a Week 6 loss to the 49ers. Coming out of a Week 7 bye, head coach Dan Quinn told reporters on Monday that the 32-year-old is doing "well", but he is not anticipating a drastic workload change following the season-ending injury to Terry McLaurin (knee). Diggs has seen a 59.8% snap share through his five games played, and Quinn appears content to keep him in that range, telling the media that others in the wide receiver room will be tasked with more responsibility, specifically highlighting rookie Antonio Williams. Diggs leads the team with four receiving touchdowns and has been a go-to option in the red zone, keeping him well in the flex conversation moving forward, but fantasy managers should not expect a significant value jump following McLaurin's injury.

Ja'Marr Chase News
Sunday, October 25, 5:18 PM
Coming off the Week 6 bye, the Cincinnati Bengals offense could not muster a single point in the first half of Sunday's battle against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Thankfully for wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase's fantasy managers, the Bengals' offense came alive in the second half in the eventual 35-13 victory. Chase took a back seat to teammate Tee Higgins in receiving yards, but he still found the end zone for the second straight game and finished with five catches on his seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old five-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro now has five touchdowns on the year in six games, but he has yet to eclipse the century mark in 2026 after he had his fifth straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2025. Fantasy managers should not be concerned at all, especially since Chase has a boom matchup coming in the Week 8 clash with the one-win Tennessee Titans. He continues to be a must-start as an elite WR1 for the Bengals.
