Stefon Diggs News
Saturday, March 28, 2:26 PM
The New England Patriots released veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs on March 11, and the 32-year-old veteran pass-catcher remains on the open market at the tail end of March. The Patriots are reportedly open to Diggs returning at a reduced cost, but that's unlikely to happen after they signed former Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs in free agency. Diggs, a former fifth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015 out of Maryland, had his seventh 1,000-yard receiving campaign in 17 regular-season games in 2025, adding 85 receptions (102 targets) and four touchdowns. The four-time Pro Bowler with the Buffalo Bills from 2020 to 2023 has been greeted with a cold market so far this offseason, but he should eventually latch on with another NFL team, although it might not happen until after the draft at the end of April. At this point in Diggs' career, it's unlikely that he'll be a bona fide WR1 for any team that he signs with.

Josh Downs News
Tuesday, March 31, 6:08 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is a strong candidate to earn more targets during the 2026 season. The Colts traded away Michael Pittman Jr. earlier this month, bumping Downs up to No. 2 on the depth chart. He might not be as heavily involved as Alec Pierce, who just fetched a $114 million deal, but he still has a chance to surpass his previous career-high of 107 targets. He was just the WR51 in half-PPR leagues with Daniel Jones (Achilles) healthy, but he also missed two games during that window. On a more compelling note, he caught at least six passes in four of his first eight games last season, adding three touchdowns along the way. Pittman's 111 vacated targets have to go somewhere. Presumably, they'll mostly be split among Pierce, Downs, and Tyler Warren. We wouldn't be surprised to see Downs return to his 2024 form, which included a top-36 finish at the wide receiver position in fantasy football. He's an intriguing buy-low in dynasty leagues as he takes on a larger role and gets his quarterback back from injury.
