Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Jayden Reed

Saturday, December 20, 12:55 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs will look to get back on track in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens following a disappointing three-game stretch. Over his last three contests, Diggs has played fewer than half of the offensive snaps with just 11 targets, eight catches, 72 yards, and zero touchdowns. He ranks as the overall WR82 in full-PPR fantasy points per game during that span. It has been a frustrating stretch for a veteran receiver who had previously strung together five consecutive contests with double-digit fantasy points. This week, he'll take on a Ravens secondary that has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to slot receivers in 2025. That doesn't bode well for Diggs, who has played 49.8% of his snaps in the slot and has the 19th-most slot snaps in the NFL this year. Managers can absolutely justify benching the 32-year-old in fantasy leagues with 12 or fewer teams. He ranks as the overall WR31 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed remains decently involved in the Packers' passing attack, but will need more involvement to be a locked-in fantasy starter when the Packers host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17. Since returning in Week 14 from injury, Reed hasn't crested double-digit fantasy points in any of his three games. Averaging four targets, four receptions, and 40 receiving yards per game since returning, Reed needs to get more involved in Green Bay's offensive production. He's still being used primarily in the slot with little utilization out wide, which limits his fantasy production. With the quarterback situation up in the air for the Packers with Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) both questionable for Week 17, consider Reed a low-end flex for Saturday's game against Baltimore.
