Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Wednesday, October 22, 2:10 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs handled seven targets last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, catching all seven passes for 69 yards. He had his second-highest catch total of the season despite playing just 54 percent of the snaps. Drake Maye is good at spreading the ball around, but Diggs has been a true constant within the offense, catching at least six passes in four of his last seven games. He has impressed as the overall WR26 in PPR leagues, pushing into high-end flex territory. His value could take a step back this week, though, as the Patriots are already getting ready to take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 7. The Browns have a good defense all around, lowering Diggs' floor and ceiling this week. He should be treated as a WR3/flex with upside.

The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf) on Saturday. The veteran wideout signed with the Niners in August. However, he wasn't relevant from a fantasy standpoint, catching only four of his eight targets for 22 yards in five appearances before being placed on the Injured Reserve list because of a calf injury. It's unknown what the future holds for MVS, considering he's closing in on a decade of service in the National Football League. Still, even if he signs with a team before the end of the 2025 campaign, he has a long way to go before earning a place on fantasy rosters.
