Stefon Diggs Found Not Guilty of Assault, Strangulation

Tuesday, May 5, 7:06 PM

Veteran free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs was found not guilty on Tuesday of assaulting his private chef in a pay dispute, according to ESPN. Diggs pleaded not guilty in February to a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge that stemmed from the alleged dispute. The four-time Pro Bowler is now cleared for a return to the field, but he could still face discipline from the NFL as part of the league's personal-conduct policy. Jamila Adams, a former live-in personal chef, testified that Diggs slapped and choked her during an argument. "The evidence has shown what we've maintained from day one: Mr. Diggs was wrongly accused, and this case represents exactly the kind of opportunistic targeting that players can face the moment they step off the field," Diggs' attorneys said in a statement. Despite his off-the-field issues, Diggs is the top available player on the open market this late into the offseason after recording the seventh 1,000-yard season of his career in 2025 with the New England Patriots. He was released in March after signing a three-year, $69 million deal with the Pats last year. Diggs' 2026 fantasy value will depend entirely on where he lands.

How Much Growth Can be Expected of Jayden Higgins in Year 2?

Wednesday, May 6, 5:48 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins showed flashes as a second-round rookie in 2025, but his path to a Year 2 leap could come with struggles along the way. The biggest obstacle could be the quarterback play of C.J. Stroud, who has regressed each year since his historic rookie campaign in 2023. The Texans have invested heavily in the offensive line, which should have a ripple effect on Stroud and the offense as a whole, but Higgins will still need to carve out a meaningful role to find dynasty staying power. Higgins scored two touchdowns in the three games missed by two-time Pro Bowler Nico Collins, and with the two both profiling as prototypical X-receivers, Higgins may not always find the field in two-receiver sets. With fellow second-year Cyclone Jaylin Noel expected to inherit Christian Kirk's role out of the slot, Higgins could find himself in a rotation with Tank Dell, who is on track to return from the 2024 knee injury that cost him the entire 2025 season. Higgins has the traits to become a consistent fantasy producer, but dynasty managers may be underwhelmed by the opportunities he sees in his second season, and at RotoBaller's WR44, he merely remains a hold until he proves he can overcome the situation.
