Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Michael Pittman Jr.

Saturday, November 1, 9:49 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been a steady contributor in fantasy football this season. Through eight games, he's averaging 11.9 fantasy points (full-PPR) while ranking as the overall WR26. He has posted double-digit points in four of his last five games, and he salvaged last week's fantasy outing with his first touchdown of the season. While Kayshon Boutte has been a big-play threat in New England, Diggs has been more of a reliable, short-to-medium passing option for Drake Maye. The 31-year-old is listed first on the depth chart of a 6-2 team whose offense is firing on all cylinders. That's always a good sign. Despite the Falcons allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, Diggs should be deployed as a low-end WR2.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught nine of his 12 targets for 115 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Colts' offense was out of sync the entire game, committing a back-breaking six turnovers and averaging a season-low 5.0 yards per play. Pittman benefited from a rare negative game script from the Colts; however, with a season high in receptions, yards, and targets. The 28-year-old has been an integral piece to Indianapolis' historic offense and has bounced back in a big way from his injury-riddled 2024 season. Pittman has caught 52 of 68 targets for 561 yards and six touchdowns in eight games this season. The Colts' WR1 continues to be a draft-day bargain and should remain a high-end fantasy producer for the remainder of the season.
