Stefon Diggs News
Saturday, August 29, 10:52 AM
Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs enters his first season with the Washington Commanders as WR2 behind Terry McLaurin and the potential to be a sleeper in 2026. The four-time Pro Bowler signed a one-year deal with the Commanders on Aug. 5 and played a few series alongside starting quarterback Jayden Daniels in a 17-13 loss to the Detroit Lions on Aug. 22, although he didn't record any stats in that game. Diggs caught 85 of 102 targets for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns for the New England Patriots in 2025, marking his seventh 1,000-plus-yard season. Daniels dealt with an injury-hampered 2025 season and is anticipating a bounce-back campaign in 2026, which could further benefit Diggs as he joins first-year offensive coordinator David Blough's system. Diggs' ADP hasn't caught up to his potential yet, and he is listed at WR44 in RotoBaller's position rankings. He is a WR3 with a lot of projected upside if he stays healthy.

Ja'Marr Chase News
Wednesday, August 26, 8:10 AM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (knee) is not taking part in Wednesday's training camp practice after he banged up his left knee on Tuesday, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Chase was not sporting any protective equipment on his knee, though, and the 26-year-old All-Pro wideout downplayed the injury after getting hurt on Tuesday. For now, it appears that Chase has dodged a potentially significant knee injury, but we will obviously keep close tabs on his progress with the 2026 regular season quickly approaching in early September. Chase has had 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first five seasons in the NFL with the Bengals and has added 54 touchdown receptions, including a league-high 17 scores in 2024, when he also led the league in catches (127), targets (175), and yards (1,708). He led the league with 185 targets last year as well and finished with 125 catches for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns in 16 starts. Chase's knee injury in camp should not dissuade fantasy managers from making him the first WR off the draft board.
