Is he for real? Only two games this year he had 7 for 129 vs KC,
And 6 for 87 against Denver.

Charles Johnson has been out, so he's seeing more targets

He should be on the radar in ppr leagues though

He's what everyone hoped Charles Johnson would be going into this season. He's the real deal. Dude knows how to get open and runs fantastic routes. He almost broke Talib's ankles on one of his last catches of the games. I expect him to be the go-to guy from now on for Teddy

Stefon Diggs is a supremely talented player. Some people might forget that this kid was a five-star coming out of HS, but was stuck in the football wasteland that was the Maryland Terrapins. He missed several games over the last two seasons at Maryland, which didn't help his NFL Draft stock.

In any case, Mike Zimmer has praised Diggs' drive to get better, on top of his already talented skill set.

I've followed him very closely as a Vikings fan, and certainly think he is a valuable piece to the Vikings moving forward, with or without Charles Johnson. He is a very good route runner.

Wallace, Johnson, Rudolph are all pretty talented

The issue is can teddy get him the ball. Diggs is working out the slot mainly so teddy can at least dink and dunk him. I'd worry about inconsistencies

Follow diggs' football career...one of the top WRs in the country as a HS player, could have went anywhere but chose to stay at home in Maryland....had a semi-decent college career, didn't have much talent around him...

He is basically a d-jax 2.0 in my eyes, although Mike Wallace says he's like an Antonio brown.

If he's in the game, he eats...so feed the man! He's a play maker

Couldn't decide who to pick up last week between Crowder and Diggs. I went with Crowder, but I'm dropping him for Diggs. He looks good out there.

Should take over Johnsons role even when he comes back. Def a flex.

Diggs is the best WR on that team, or he will be very soon. Mike Wallace admitted as much. He's only going to get more work.

Would anyone drop Garcon for Diggs in PPR??

Garcon is just a bench guy for me and a bye week fill in.

Diggs has higher ceiling lower floor

Garcon has lower ceiling but higher floor

I start 3 WR's and I have Julio, Dez, Evans and Steve Smith Sr.

So, I'm considering rolling the dice on an unproven guy whos stock is rising over a decent proven producer who has a shitty offense and anticipating DJax coming back soon and taking away targets...

Bingo. I too would pick Diggs over Garcon too, assuming Desean comes back some time soon.

i took a free agent flier on him in one of my leagues.

my WR's have yet to hit at the same time yet.

Antonio Brown
Cooks
John Brown


i had Stevie Johnson but dropped him.

You have to start 3 WR's in this league each week... meh.

all of my WR's have good match ups this week... at least on paper. Diggs is going against Detroit who have given up the 11th most points to WR's this season.

might consider starting him but once I do, the guy I'll replace him with will go the frick off!

happens all the time

I picked him up in two leagues Sunday morning and dropped him in my two other leagues.

I hate roster construction.

Love the talent. Consensus 5-star recruit out of HS. Big time playmaker when on the field at Maryland.

He's better than Charles Johmson, and he's really good after the catch.

Cordarelle was a 5*!

He teased
Johnson teased
Wallace teased
Rudolph teased

Will diggs be the first solid contributor MIN has seen in years? Only thing that has me skeptical since a lot of their guys have pedigree

Juco.

Diggs is a well-rounded WR compared to Patterson who is just special in space. That's what I see.

My hesitation is what happens when Johnson returns. With him out, Diggs has been great.
