Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Ja'Marr Chase

Friday, November 14, 12:21 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught nine of his 11 targets for 105 yards during Thursday's Week 11 victory over the New York Jets. The 31-year-old has been terrific lately, and even though his three-game touchdown streak came to an end Thursday, he still has five consecutive games with 10+ fantasy points (PPR). Diggs was on the field for 69.7 percent of the snaps in the victory, eclipsing his previous season-high by more than six percentage points. The increased involvement is a promising sign for fantasy managers, and so, too, is his continued success. The Patriots are on a roll, and their top pass catcher should continue to be deployed as a high-end WR2 heading into next week's battle against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The NFL is suspending Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase for one game for unsportsmanlike conduct after he was caught on video spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey on Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Barring a successful appeal of his suspension, Chase will miss the Week 12 contest on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Chase's conduct led to an altercation in which Ramsey threw punches at Chase, causing him to be ejected from the Week 11 game. The 25-year-old will now most likely miss this weekend's game against the Pats, so fantasy managers should shift him to their bench this week. Tee Higgins will operate as quarterback Joe Flacco's top target for that one and will draw the attention of Pats cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Andrei Iosivas will be the No. 2 this Sunday, making him worth flex consideration. Tight end Noah Fant will also be more attractive as a TE streamer in Week 12.
