Totally concerned. Guy does not look interested in my opinion. And when his head was in the game it seemed Josh was not getting him the ball enough. I do believe the noise outside the organization earlier this year he wants out. Time will tell here.Any concerns here? Did Snead get the best of him? I want to think he will show up big against his brothers team this weekend to prove what team is top dog in the Diggs family (even though his brother isn't playing). When I watch Buffalo games, it seems like he either isn't open or the pass just isn't there of late when he does get a target, almost like they aren't running plays for him, but using him as a release valve. 22 targets total the last 2 games with only 10 catches. Only 159 yards total the last 4 weeks.
It’s one of the bigger mysteries to me…I have to assume that teams are double/triple teaming him and Josh is being conservative and not trying to force it to him. But from being peppered with 10+ targets every week for a couple years to a 5 target 4-48 wr just doesn’t really make sense to me.Season started so well. Then he just disappeared. Even when Buffalo got their offense going again. He's an after thought now in the offense. Ultimately going to be why I lose this week.
Since week 6, he has not had a 100 yard game where he had 5 in the first 6 weeks. Since week 9, he has only score more than 10 points in PPR once. If we all had a crystal ball, we should have sold high on his name value but we could not forsee a situation where he would not be relevant again this year.The Bills attempted 15 passes this week. Diggs got 5 targets, or 33% target share. That target share is elite.
Doesn't help if you got knocked out this week due to the low scoring output, but it's a good reason to be optimistic going forward.
As an owner that barely eeked out a win and needs him desperately for the championship matchup.... from your lips to god's ears.Since week 6, he has not had a 100 yard game where he had 5 in the first 6 weeks.

Now that most of his owners are eliminated, watch him go for 11-160-3 next week.
To be fair, I don't think Diggs antics did much positive for him also..Buffalo has a lot of professionals on the team and the way he gets sour seemed to be a nail in the coffin.BUF offense is so much different once they changed offensive coordinators. Also the emergence of Dalton Kincaid (even though he goose egged yesterday) has had a negative impact on Diggs performance.
Diggs is gone after this season. BUF is probably better when they run a balanced offense and Allen spreads it around instead of forcing it to Diggs 10-15 times a game.
He used to be injured quite a bit and missed games. It feels like he just plays through injury now and never seems to talk about his injuries.Diggs has not been playable in December the last number of years. And that is poison for FF.
It may veery well come out that he's been dealing with a foot issue, ankle issue, knee issue and playing through it.He used to be injured quite a bit and missed games.

Watch a lot of Bills games because they are generally a fun team to watch. The fact that Allen is really inaccurate on even intermediate throws seems a bigger issue IMO than Diggs going into decline. The throws that are caught in stride are few. He is just off. Plus don’t get me started on his refusal to dump the ball off to Cook. Watching the game last week, I thought for sure Allen had a prop bet on himself (kidding) for rushing yards and rushing TD. He just seems off. Fortunately they have been winning so whatever works I guess. But certainly not all on Diggs.People here are saying he is gone after this season. Does that mean Buffalo will cut or trade him? Isn't he signed for the next 4 years in Buffalo? Not sure what team can trade for a contract that size and for a player who arguably "lost a step". He still gets the targets each week, he just doesn't produce, his first 8-9 games this season were great, top 3 WR type numbers, the last 8-9 games have been WR3 type numbers. He is still the 11th ranked WR in my league based on the first half dominance. People who watch Bills games, are teams shutting him down/taking him out of the game? There hasn't been a lot of talk nationally about this decline imo maybe because of his numbers from the first half.
As I said before, the offense is much different now than in the early part of the season. BUF is throwing less, running more and using Davis or Shakir as the deep ball and Diggs mostly gets underneath passes (and is competing with Kincaid, Cook and Knox for those targets). Teams focused on him in the early part of the season and Diggs was great, so I don't think teams are all of sudden now trying to shut him down. Hard to be a WR1 (or even a WR2) when all your targets are within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage and Allen likes to run the ball near the goalline. It's also hard to continue to be a WR1 when your target share goes down. 1st half of the year Diggs had a 31% target share. 2nd half of the year DIggs' target share is 24% while BUF has 11% less pass attempts (the reduction is more if you take out Allen's 52 attempts in week 12). Allen is spreading the ball around more.People here are saying he is gone after this season. Does that mean Buffalo will cut or trade him? Isn't he signed for the next 4 years in Buffalo?

I'd be shocked if he doesn't come back - the cap hit on releasing / trading him is too high. Especially if the Bills part ways with Von Miller. If they drop Miller and Diggs then they are simply tanking in 2024 and hoping it's a one year bump in the road.People here are saying he is gone after this season.

These two replies are my thoughts as well on Diggs performance. Watching him actually play, he doesn't look to me to have lost a step at all really. He's continually running tight routes and generating separation, even against top flight corners. But they changed the offensive scheme, and unfortunately for Diggs' fantasy owners, it's helping the offense. Allen bombing it to him 10 times a game was not good for the goal of making the playoffs and competing for a SB. As a self-interested fantasy owner, I do hope they let him walk, because it's clear the direction the offense is heading will cap his usage/scoring and it's also working for them.As I said before, the offense is much different now than in the early part of the season.

They should just trade him and get what they can. But they will probably have to eat some of the contract to do a deal, not sure how it's structured. With Diggs petulant behavior, I think BUF is going to want to move on. They can be successful centering their offense around the run and playing good defense.
I don't have any doubt that Diggs helps whatever QB is playing with him. Look at Josh Allen's completion % before he got Diggs and after. Allen efficiency took a huge leap. Allen deserves credit for improving himself independant of Diggs, but I think Diggs had a lot to do with Allen's improvement.I've come around on Diggs, but I get how his constant chirping could be annoying to a veteran QB. Yeah, I get it, you're open on every play. You don't need to tell me every single time we're on the sideline. He's a passionate guy, seems like an incredible teammate, and is one of the best clutch players in the league. If the season is on the line and it's third and 8, if you call a play for him to go up and get it, he'll go up and get it.
It would be interesting to see if he would help or hurt a young QB (B Young?) if he got dealt.
All fair questions. Have to wonder if he’s going to make some noise about wanting to leave as he seemed to do not too long ago. Something isn’t right there.So, what happened here ?
New OC didn't like him? Undisclosed injury? Father Time ?

I think Diggs is just one of those guys that needs the situation to be right for him or his play suffers.
I believe if he went to a new team and was the unquestioned alpha receiver, with an average or better qb he would be the Diggs of last year for a couple years before he would wear out his welcome again.

Lotta drops in the 2nd half of the season, and none more costly than the bomb last night. I do wonder if that back injury he suffered against the Bengals lingered a bit and he played through it, but if not I'd say he may have lost a little.Watching him run routes, I don’t see any physical drop off. Still seems quick out of breaks and his speed is fine. Something is just off with his connection with Allen. The entire passing game really. Virtually nothing down the field to anyone.
Looks like his contract will keep him in Buffalo next year. Early mocks I’ve seen have him late 2nd next year. Doubt Davis is back next year as someone will overpay for him as happens with WRs. Think Shakir is better anyway.
As posted on another thread, he was way out in front of the defense for an easy 60 yards plus TD last week and Allen airmailed it over his head. Works both way. Something is just off between them. Diggs has been open a lot and Allen targets his other receivers. Part of Diggs frustration.Lotta drops in the 2nd half of the season, and none more costly than the bomb last night.

Still think he's a #1 WR, but more in the lower end at this point.
Tale of 2 halves of the season:2020 was exceptional with 127 catches on 166 targets. Last 3 years have been in 105 catch range on the same amount of targets. Everything has been consistent which is why I am surprised people are talking about a physical drop off. I know age 30 is always a red flag, but don’t see it here. Just like I don’t see it with Keenon Allen.
Wasn't that about the time they switched offensive coordinators?Tale of 2 halves of the season:2020 was exceptional with 127 catches on 166 targets.

1st 9 games: 70 catches(7.78/game), 834 yards (92.67 yards per game), 7 TD's (0.78/game)
The next 8 games: 37 catches(4.63/game), 349 yards (43.63/game), 1 TD (0.13/game).
That fall off midway through the season is the red flag.
