Stefon Diggs Set for High-Volume Role in Washington

Friday, September 4, 7:52 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs is set for a high-volume role with his new team. Diggs is coming off an impressive season with the Patriots, in which he caught 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. He finished as the overall WR17 in PPR leagues and turned in his seventh 1,000-yard campaign in the last eight years. Now with the Commanders, Diggs finds himself in a slightly different role compared to last year. This year, he'll operate as the No. 2 receiver behind Terry McLaurin. While that could lower his ceiling and threaten his chance of another 1,000-yard season, it should also benefit him by taking away some of the defense's attention. In other words, he'll likely be covered by opponents' No. 2 cornerbacks, while the top corners lock onto McLaurin. As long as quarterback Jayden Daniels stays healthy for most of the season, Diggs has a great chance to be a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 this year.

Treylon Burks News

Treylon Burks Working His Way Back into the Fantasy Conversation

Monday, August 24, 5:25 AM

Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks has had a career defined by injuries and disappointment, but a unique skill set and a solid first training camp in Washington have him well-positioned to earn a role in 2026. The arrival of four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs in early August changed the landscape of the Commanders' receiver room, but Burks' blend of size and speed should allow him to earn a complementary role behind Diggs and top option Terry McLaurin. Still projected as part of a potential rotation with Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, and 2026 third-round pick Antonio Williams, he is unlikely to suddenly reemerge as a coveted fantasy asset, but in an offense expected to gel with better overall health in its first year under new offensive coordinator David Blough, Burks has the opportunity to work his way into the flex conversation in deeper leagues. A former first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans, Burks has yet to top the 444 receiving yards of his rookie season, but he is at least back on the edge of fantasy radars as RotoBaller's WR109.
