Stefon Diggs News
Friday, September 11, 8:27 PM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs is set to make his debut in the burgundy and gold in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 32-year-old wideout spent one season in New England, where he recorded 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns on 102 targets, playing only 55% of the snaps. Now another season removed from the torn ACL, Diggs has proven to be a favorite target for Jayden Daniels throughout training camp and will be a heavily featured piece of Washington's passing attack alongside Terry McLaurin. Diggs and the passing offense will be put to the test in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, who allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in the league last season. Diggs comes in as RotoBaller's WR43 in PPR leagues for Week 1.

Sterling Shepard News
Friday, August 21, 1:02 PM
The Houston Texans signed veteran wideouts Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones on Friday, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The team was in the market for wide receiver help following the season-ending injury to second-year wideout Jayden Higgins (knee), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday due to a torn ACL. Outside of star wide receiver Nico Collins, Houston's pass-catching group now has significant questions due to Higgins' injury and Tank Dell's (knee) uncertain injury situation as he works his way back from a serious knee injury of his own. Shepard appeared in 13 games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025, recording 39 catches for 371 yards and one touchdown. Jones (Achilles) hauled in 12 catches across eight games with the Arizona Cardinals and is working his way back from a torn Achilles. While neither player profiles as a particularly inspiring option for fantasy managers, both are still worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues given the clear opportunity available in Houston.
