Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Quentin Johnston

Saturday, May 31, 3:55 PM

According to Scott Zolak of 98.5 The Sports Hub, a Boston radio station, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) may not be a lock to remain on the roster. "I came to this show yesterday with the opinion -- not opinion, but the knowledge that it is on the table," Zolak stated during a recent show regarding the possibility of Diggs getting released. "That it is being thought of. And it's not just the boat. There are some other things that I've heard that put some things in question." The 31-year-old agreed to a three-year, $69 million contract in March after amassing 46 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns with the Texans in 2024-25. Unfortunately, his first season in Houston was cut short after he tore his ACL in the Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It's important for fantasy managers to remember that things might not be set in stone, so there is no reason to sound the alarm. If Diggs continues making progress regarding his rehab efforts, there's hope he'll be on the field by Week 4. His presence would undoubtedly be good for second-year signal-caller Drake Maye. But if Diggs gets his walking papers, players like Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Kyle Williams, and DeMario Douglas will have a better chance to climb the depth chart.

The Athletic's Daniel Popper thinks Los Angeles Chargers former first-rounder wide receiver Quentin Johnston will have to earn his roster spot in training camp this summer after the team added wideout Tre Harris in the second round this year. Harris and Mike Williams are downfield, contested-catch weapons for quarterback Justin Herbert, while Ladd McConkey has already proven himself as a game-changing slot receiver after just one year in the NFL. Popper thinks the Chargers will initially have McConkey in the slot, Williams at X and Harris at Z. Rookie Keandre Lambert-Smith will give the Bolts more speed on the field when they want it. The drop-prone Johnston was better last year with a 55-711-8 line in 15 games, but the addition of Harris is bad news for his fantasy value in single-year and dynasty/keeper formats in 2025.
