Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Jauan Jennings

Thursday, August 14, 7:10 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was signed in the offseason to add firepower to the team's pass-catching corps. He tore his ACL during the 2024 season while a member of the Houston Texans and has been easing back into action thus far in training camp. Diggs has been fully cleared for participation in camp, but he did not suit up for New England's first preseason game last week. He sat down and talked to Scoop City's Dianna Russini on Wednesday, but would not commit to being ready to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 as he told her "we'll see" when asked. Signs have been positive for Diggs thus far, but fantasy managers drafting him need to at least be aware of the possibility that he is not out there in Week 1.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) posted a photo on his social-media account of him getting treatment on Thursday morning from Las Vegas, where his teammates are scheduled to have a joint practice against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Jennings has not practiced with the team since the first week of training camp after aggravating a calf injury that he also dealt with during spring workouts. The 28-year-old is also in the midst of contract-extension negotiations with the organization, so he's in no rush to push himself back onto the field and risk further injury. Still, he's losing valuable reps with the first-team offense in a year in which he has a huge opportunity to be one of the team's top-targeted wideouts with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) hurt and Deebo Samuel Sr. no longer in town. Jennings is on the WR3/4 borderline as a fantasy sleeper in 2025.
