Stefon Diggs News

At Least Five Teams Checking in on Stefon Diggs

Monday, July 13, 8:11 PM

At least five teams have been checking in on free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs nearly two weeks out from the start of NFL training camps, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Diggs had produced 1,013 yards, 85 catches, and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts for the New England Patriots last year, coming off an ACL tear and playing around 55% of the offensive snaps, and he feels like he can be even better due to offseason training with no injury concerns. Despite putting up his seventh 1,000-yard season in his 11th year in the league in 2025 and helping the Patriots get back to the Super Bowl, the 32-year-old veteran was cut early in the offseason for salary cap purposes. Diggs believes he's one of the best No. 2 wideouts in the league at this point of his career, if not the best, which is probably why he remains unsigned this late into the offseason. The four-time Pro Bowler is no longer in the prime of his career, but he could definitely still be fantasy relevant if he signs with the right team for the 2026 campaign. Stay tuned.

Ja'Marr Chase News

Ja'Marr Chase Remains a Viable Overall WR1 Candidate Entering 2026

Monday, July 13, 11:38 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase turned in another highly productive season in 2025, recording 125 catches for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns on 185 targets across 16 games. The 26-year-old has now led the NFL in targets in back-to-back seasons, and he should be the focal point of the Cincinnati offense once again in 2026. While Chase's touchdown production fell from 17 in 2025 to eight in 2026, he showed an ability to remain a highly impactful fantasy wideout even in a season where Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow played just eight games. Chase finished 2026 as the WR3 in per-game PPR scoring, behind only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Chase may have the highest floor of any player in fantasy football, making him a logical choice as the number one overall player off the board in redraft leagues ahead of 2026.
