Stefon Diggs Profiles as Strong WR2 in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 8:11 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs could be in line for an even bigger target share in Week 4 against the Colts, with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) expected to be sidelined. Diggs has gotten off to a strong start in Washington, drawing at least six targets in all three games and catching three touchdowns. The 32-year-old wideout still isn't quite running a full route share, but he did spike to a season-high 77.1% after dipping down to 52.4% in Week 2. Diggs could be set up for a strong day against a leaky Colts secondary that has allowed the third most passing yards per game (276) and the fourth most yards per pass attempt (7.8). Diggs should be fired up as a high-end WR2 in one of the higher-scoring projected matchups of the week.

Makai Lemon Still Carries Waiver-Wire Intrigue Despite Week 4 Dud

Tuesday, October 6, 12:19 PM

Across the first four games of his NFL career, Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon has recorded just 10 catches for 65 yards on 15 targets. With Eagles wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) both sidelined in Week 4, Lemon looked to have a golden opportunity to assert himself. However, the 22-year-old recorded just three catches for 27 yards in Philadelphia's Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. On the bright side, Lemon saw a season-high six targets and was on the field for a season-high 74% of the Eagles' offensive snaps. Lemon missed a significant chunk of training camp with a hamstring injury, which could explain his slow start to the year. Given the injuries to Smith and Goedert, Lemon could continue to see his role scaled up and remains a worthy waiver wire stash in most fantasy formats.
