Stefon Diggs News
Saturday, August 29, 10:52 AM
Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs enters his first season with the Washington Commanders as WR2 behind Terry McLaurin and the potential to be a sleeper in 2026. The four-time Pro Bowler signed a one-year deal with the Commanders on Aug. 5 and played a few series alongside starting quarterback Jayden Daniels in a 17-13 loss to the Detroit Lions on Aug. 22, although he didn't record any stats in that game. Diggs caught 85 of 102 targets for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns for the New England Patriots in 2025, marking his seventh 1,000-plus-yard season. Daniels dealt with an injury-hampered 2025 season and is anticipating a bounce-back campaign in 2026, which could further benefit Diggs as he joins first-year offensive coordinator David Blough's system. Diggs' ADP hasn't caught up to his potential yet, and he is listed at WR44 in RotoBaller's position rankings. He is a WR3 with a lot of projected upside if he stays healthy.

Ricky Pearsall News
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.
