Stefon Diggs News
Saturday, September 26, 9:00 AM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs found the end zone twice again in Week 2, catching five of his six targets for 47 yards against the Dallas Cowboys. The 32-year-old is averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game through two weeks, ranking as the WR11. It will be interesting to see how Diggs and the offense produce without their top QB in Jayden Daniels (elbow), but Marcus Mariota was efficient during the second half and for stretches last season. It is worth noting that Diggs' snaps still aren't all the way there and dropped from 62.9% in Week 1 to 50.7% in Week 2. That should be expected to tick back up in future weeks. Diggs faces a brutal Week 3 matchup against a Seattle Seahawks defense that hasn't allowed a passing touchdown and has allowed only 3.8 yards per pass play this season, in addition to holding him to just three catches for 37 yards in last season's Super Bowl. Diggs ranks as RotoBaller's WR38 in PPR leagues in Week 3, profiling as a WR3/flex option.

Michael Pittman Jr. News
Sunday, September 27, 7:49 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is officially active for Sunday's game against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals after being listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, according to PGH Steelers Now's Alan Saunders. A foot injury kept Pittman from playing in last week's loss to the New England Patriots, but he made enough progress in practice this week to get the green light to return to a Steelers offense that has not looked great at all through the first two weeks of the season. The 28-year-old had a decent debut with the Steelers in their season-opening win over the Atlanta Falcons, catching all three of his targets for 58 yards. The former second-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2020 from USC does not have a ton of fantasy football upside in Pittsburgh's lackluster offense, but he could continue to draw the eye of quarterback Aaron Rodgers on short underneath routes. Going into Sunday's contest against an improved Bengals defense, fantasy managers should view Pittman as a low-upside WR4/flex option in his return to action.
