Stefon Diggs Touting Himself as Best WR2 in the NFL

Monday, July 13, 9:08 AM

With just two weeks until training camps begin in the NFL, veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs remains a free agent despite leading the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl last year with 85 catches, 1,013 yards, and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in 2025. He added 14 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown in four postseason games. "My opinion, I can compete with anybody," Diggs said. "But take those [top wide receivers] as your 1s, right? You can't name a No. 2 better than me." The 32-year-old was released by New England in March in a cost-saving move before the Pats acquired Pro Bowl wideout A.J. Brown on June 1 from the Philadelphia Eagles. Diggs has seven 1,000-yard campaigns in his career, although he's clearly no longer in the prime of his career. With an off-the-field matter no longer hanging over his head for a potential suspension from the NFL, Diggs should eventually land with a team for the 2026 season, but his fantasy value could vary depending on his landing spot.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Remains an Elite Wide Receiver Option Entering 2026

Monday, July 6, 12:02 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was arguably the best pass-catcher in football in 2025, recording 119 catches for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns on 163 targets across 17 games. The 24-year-old was remarkably efficient, averaging 3.61 yards per route run while seeing 35.8% of the Seahawks' total targets. Entering 2026, Smith-Njigba once again profiles as the clear number one option in a Seattle passing game that lacks another obvious high-volume target-earner. The Seahawks threw the ball at the third-lowest rate in the NFL in 2025 but may be forced to turn to the air more often this season after losing running back Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. With Smith-Njigba entering the prime of his career, he has a legitimate case to be the number one overall pick in redraft leagues ahead of 2026.
