Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Stefon Diggs

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett will make his team debut in Week 1, facing off against the Denver Broncos. After a long and effective tenure in Seattle, Lockett is now a Titan and will catch passes from rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. The veteran receiver could benefit from this week's matchup. Although Denver has a very strong defense anchored by elite cornerback Patrick Surtain II, Ward could look to funnel passes to Lockett if Ridley is routinely smothered by Surtain on the perimeter. Lockett has developed into a short- to medium-yardage option and can benefit Ward as he gets open to provide an outlet for the young quarterback. Lockett might not crack 50 yards and a touchdown, but he should see at least a handful of targets with the potential to be a low-end starter in deep PPR formats.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs continues to have some fantasy appeal for Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins. Diggs was out-snapped and out-produced by Kayshon Boutte, but the veteran still turned in a solid showing of his own with seven targets, six catches, and 57 yards. We can expect similar usage and productivity from Diggs this week as he takes on the Dolphins, who were ripped to pieces by the Indianapolis Colts last week. There's still a good chance that Boutte and perhaps even Hunter Henry remain ahead of Diggs in the pecking order, but with a favorable matchup on tap, he can still carve out a fantasy-relevant role. He ranks as a low-end WR3/flex option this week.
