Stefon Diggs Still Looks Like a Reliable Target-Earner in Washington

Wednesday, September 30, 12:21 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs has gotten off to a hot start in 2026, recording 13 catches for 135 yards and three touchdowns on 22 targets across three games. The 32-year-old was held in check by the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, logging just 33 receiving yards on four receptions. However, Diggs still saw seven targets in backup quarterback Marcus Mariota's first start in place of injured Washington QB1 Jayden Daniels (elbow). Mariota also threw three touchdown passes in a tough matchup against the Seahawks, which should help ease concerns about his ability to provide opportunities for Diggs to produce while Daniels remains out. Diggs may not have much big-play at this point in his career, but he remains a reliable target-earner and a solid WR3/flex option in PPR leagues entering Week 4.

Ricky Pearsall News

Ricky Pearsall Officially Undergoes Knee Surgery

Thursday, August 13, 8:52 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) underwent season-ending surgery for his PCL injury to his right knee, according to David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. In Pearsall's social-media post, the former first-rounder said he had never missed a game due to a football injury in his entire career at any level. The 49ers expect Pearsall to miss anywhere from six to 12 months, and he's already been ruled out for the entire 2025 season. The 25-year-old played in just 20 games (13 starts) in his first two years in the NFL due to injury, including only nine starts last year. He's recorded 67 catches on 99 targets for 928 yards and three touchdowns in his 20 regular-season games. It's unclear if Pearsall will be ready for the start of training camp and the regular season in 2027. Pearsall's redraft and dynasty/keeper value has hit rock bottom. In his absence in 2026, rookie second-round receiver De'Zhaun Stribling will have an opportunity to carve out a larger role alongside veterans Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Christian Kirk.
