WR Stefon Diggs, NE (1 Viewer)

[Tool]

Any chance Diggs can have a decent game today? Last year he put up 13/126/1 and 8/47/1 vs. Chicago.

I’m pushing him hard in my daily fantasy teams. But mainly on a gut feeling that he’s due.

 

[jtd13]

Chicago has been forcing teams to pass, so that could help. 

I'm starting him over Preston Williams in one league. Benching him for Cooks in another. The Preston call was harder.

Stefon Diggs rolled up seven catches for 108 yards on seven targets Sunday in the Vikings’ Week 4 loss to Chicago.

Remarkably, Diggs recorded more yards Sunday than he had in his previous three games combined. Diggs awoke from his season-long slumber with Minnesota trailing in the second half, recording 91 yards on five catches after the break. He breathed life into the Vikings' offense by pulling in a 39-yard missile from Kirk Cousins on fourth-and-four late in the third quarter, though Minnesota's comeback bid would ultimately fall short. This isn't the start fantasy owners had envisioned for Diggs, who has taken a clear backseat to Dalvin Cook in Kevin Stefanski's run-first scheme. He'll look to build off Sunday's success—even if it was largely inflated by garbage time—next week against the Giants. New York's leaky secondary is ripe for the picking, should the Vikings choose to exploit it.

I dont understand why this means patriots

I don’t understand any of it 

 

[Interseptopus]

apparently he has asked for a trade and NE and MIN are "deep into talks"

 

[dblock05]

Well damn if that happens. His value just went up significantly.

As a Diggs owner I wont complain. MIN is a wasteland. 

Have to think that could downgrade Harry in dynasty

 

[Arodin]

No reason to believe this is more than the usual “everybody goes to NE” smoke.  

But if Diggs were to end up there, I’m not sure there’s a player in the league better suited to be the second coming of Julian Edelman.

the link I posted references a tweet from the same person who was first to break the news that PIT was going for Fitzpatrick

Sounds about right.  NE can probably pull some cap gymnastics to make it happen.

I'm sure they have a way to bend the rules, right?

 

[kittenmittens]

Haha no, unless you're joking, then yes

Brady I think gives them a lot of flexibility for moving things around. Not sure how much can be done in season tho. 

 

[kittenmittens]

The have all the money they're not paying AB, of course 

Do they? I thought they had to take the cap hit because he played for them but I am not a cap expert at all. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

This says it likely won't happen.

contract is the only thing holding it up

Patriots releasing meredith, just need diggs to restructure 

 

[Interseptopus]

a joke since NE always bends/breaks the rules. 

What they will do is pay Diggs ABs money, and then Diggs gives AB and IOU, because there isnt a rule against it.

2020 starts out with a "no IOUs allowed" NFL rule

NE is the guy who takes a nap at work and then says, "what, there isnt a policy saying I can't sleep at work!"

Hahaha.  You would think some other team would swoop in and outbid the Patriots like every other Patriots almost trade. 

 

[Interseptopus]

Apparently this guy's track record isn't great 

hes no Rap or Schefter. I wouldnt be surprised if this happened. But I also wouldnt be shocked if this guy heard a player was being released and reverse engineered it to be the Pat's are trading for Diggs. When all along it was to create roster room for Watson

Or N'Keal Harry could be activated soon.

I believe Harry cant be activated soon

 

[Heatman]

Harry can be activated after week 6.

 

[tangfoot]

Harry can be activated after week 6.

I thought you had to be on IR for a minimum of 8 weeks.

Practice is not the same as coming off of IR

 

[Heatman]

I was under the impression he had to be activated to practice.  Apparently he may practice while still on IR. So yes week 8 he may be activated.

 

[kittenmittens]

Week 8 is pretty soon.  I bet it's to make room for Watson though, or somebody else. 

 

[Interseptopus]

Obviously the Patriots cut two guys, because they're making room for both AJ Green and Stefon Diggs.

Who isn't being rumored to be traded to the Patriots? I swear I heard someone say they should trade for Gardner Minshew to back up TB12 once Foles comes back so they would have their QB of the future once Brady is done.

yeah I'm thinking this is all bologna 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Week 8 is pretty soon.  I bet it's to make room for Watson though, or somebody else. 

Yes, Watson comes off suspension this week.

Week 9. It says AFTER week 8.

 

[FunkyPlutos]

Not practicing today...

 

[Faust]

Not practicing today...

Rotoworld take:

Stefon Diggs (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday.

Diggs showed numerous indications he was dinged up on Sunday but still logged 52-of-62 offensive snaps (84%) against the Bears. His availability against the Giants will ultimately come down to his participation in Friday's practice. Reminder Diggs has averaged a poor 4/37.2/0.1 in his past seven games when playing through an injury designation.

Its almost certainly nothing, but if it isn't, I'm surprised they'd be after Diggs instead of Thielen. Especially since Thielen may have ruffled some feathers this week, calling out Zimmer and Cousins.

 

[Faust]

What's happened to Vikings receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs?

 

[whole-show]

Diggs not at practice today. Vikings said it was not injury related and didn’t give any other explanation

he'll be great in buffalo, solid signing (prediction)

Scoop up Johnson in deep leagues?

funny 

in all seriousness, Diggs wasnt used appropriately, what makes you think Johnson would be any better

Buffalo has been another rumored destination

 

[FF Ninja]

Ugh, his usage was frustrating but I can't see a mid-season trade being great for him, either.

Didn't you just say Buffalo was a rumored destination?

Not to Buffalo at least. 

 

[FF Ninja]

Not to Buffalo at least. 

I mean, it wasn't long ago that we fantasy players were wary of a wide receiver's first year with a team due to learning a new system and chemistry with the QB, but now we're talking about a guy switching teams without even the benefit of OTAs, training camp, or preseason. I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[Nucker101]

I mean, I'm only suggesting him as a flier. He'd be interesting if the Vikes eventually start throwing the ball a bit more. Their current game plan seems to work great against bad/mediocre defenses but it gets exposed when playing against top 15 defenses. I get that they want to be a ball control type of team like the Seahawks, but Kirk Cousins just isn't like Russ, I think he plays even worse than usual when he's forced to be a game manager.
