Very curious what his ceiling is if he’s healthy. Still seems like he’s a 12-13 ypr guy but am unsure maye will be a high volume passer in this offense. That said there’s really no one to challenge Diggs as a number one target in the offense?

He has legit FF top 12 upside IMO. Floor should be reasonably safe.

Of course, he has to stay healthy, and he has to stay out of the tabloids.

I’m considering selling on the alluring upside he offers to get a little younger & maybe get a handcuff, but I can’t bring myself to sending the offer - that tantalizing upside.

Early season schedule looks pretty friendly to entice potential buyers.
 
a good amount of negativity about diggs on the web and youtube in the last 48 hours.

however, on reddit, a user comment about Phil Perry the chief critic and more generally the Boston media....

"as a pats fan, don’t listen to a single thing boston media says about the team. it’s like they purposely hate just for attention; phil perry especially. dudes a moron"

Pats homer here - Phil Perry got absolutely schooled yesterday by Vrabel in a presser. Haven’t heard any semblance of negativity around Diggs other than Perry’s weird comment. Diggs has been fine. Nothing to see here, at least yet.

2025 New England Patriots training camp: Latest intel, updates

Excerpt:

Thursday, Aug. 14​

One of the themes struck by veteran receiver Stefon Diggs since signing with the Patriots in March is to extinguish the hype surrounding his arrival. He has made no bold predictions about his availability coming off an ACL injury and has spoken sparingly with reporters who cover the team daily.

Diggs stayed on script the at Patriots-Vikings practices the last two days. He agreed only to a 1-on-1 interview with Dianna Russini of The Athletic, and as part of that discussion, he playfully wouldn't even go as far as to say he's a lock to play Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

This despite Diggs, whose recovery has been ahead of schedule, having passed his initial physical on July 19 and not having missed a practice of training camp.

It is with that background that coach Mike Vrabel seemed surprised to field a question on whether Diggs would be in the lineup Sept. 7 for the season opener.

"He's been out here almost every day. I'm excited where he's at," Vrabel said before Thursday's practice with the Vikings. "He works hard and he cares, which are two important things."

Vrabel also acknowledged that making predictions for the future with any player isn't something he likes to do. He did hold Diggs out of the preseason opener, which came two days after he had a limited workload in a practice with the Commanders.

But Vrabel noted Diggs' work in a recent practice, saying: "The other day in the red zone, I thought that Stefon factored and looked good and keeps getting better."

I was speaking more so in terms of Diggs being a “pain” as Perry said. The offense has struggled at times, but they’ve also looked really good at times. I’m saying you have to take everything the Boston media has said with a grain of salt.

Yeah that’s odd considering I’ve read more than one article about how influential Diggs has been in his mentoring of guys like Chism & the rapport he building with Maye.

And the stuff about having an attitude without the ability? Yeah, I’ve seen the videos of Diggs at practice - and read the comments of other observers. From what I’ve seen and the comments, he looks fantastic out there.

Just the polar opposite of these articles bashing him for being a PITA.
 
One of the guys I am having difficulty ranking this year, but I feel like he's a value and a guy like Maye will look for often.

Legit shot at a WR12-16 finish IMO.

Gotta stay healthy - Maye needs to take that next step in his development. But I could see north of 120 targets.

Also a legit shot at finishing as a WR36-50

Who can know. He has a very high football IQ and looks like his old self cutting in routes from what I’ve seen, though that’s a small sample size.

Yeah basically if I can buy him around where other guys I wanna take a stab at WR4-5 ADP pricing, the ROI seems highest with him I think I'm in on him this year

Question: Are you expecting to be on a pitch count?

Stefon Diggs: “Hell no! I don’t know. I don’t make the rules. We’ll see how it goes, but I really hope not.”

Drake Maye says he has noticed WR Stefon Diggs elevating with a game approaching Sunday against the Raiders.

“I’m looking forward to getting him the rock and letting him do his thing,” he says.

Stefon Diggs with a statement for the media:

"I had some interviews throughout camp and some of my words were misconstrued. Me talking to another individual... was taken out of context."

"I was referred to as a pain in the ***... I don't want to come across as that."

Stefon Diggs addressed the local media and was rubbed the wrong way this summer. Diggs comes across as a pro.
