Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Jeremy McNichols

Friday, December 12, 10:49 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is gearing up for another potential revenge game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. When these two teams last faced each other in Week 5, Diggs exploded for his best game of the season, amassing 12 targets, 10 catches, and 146 receiving yards. The veteran receiver had an impressive stretch of performances near the middle of the season, but he came back down to earth over the last two weeks, totaling just five catches and zero touchdowns during that span while playing fewer than half of the offensive snaps. Despite recently failing to live up to his expectations, Diggs is still a very talented receiver who has repeatedly earned Drake Maye's trust. He has a strong chance to bounce back against his old team in Week 15. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR21 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols recorded only one reception for two yards in last week's blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It marked the third game this season where he's had fewer than two touches in a game. The 29-year-old had compiled 20 total touches for 88 yards in the three games leading up to Week 14, and even in a negative game script, McNichols didn't see much work. The veteran has held down the pass-down duties in Washington's backfield for most of the season since Austin Ekeler (Achilles) went down in Week 2. McNichols should see similar usage on Sunday against the New York Giants with the possibility for more touches if Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin), who is listed as questionable, is unable to play. He profiles as a deep league flex option at best in Week 15.
