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.

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.
