Scoring Zone's Take

For Diggs, landing as a clear No. 2 in a functional offense with a good quarterback is a favorable outcome after a disjointed prior season. His fantasy stock gets a bump — think flex-to-WR3 range in drafts, with upside if Washington's passing volume stays high or if McLaurin misses time. Keep in mind Diggs' age and recent injury history warrant some caution before pushing him into must-start territory.

Actionable takeaway: treat McLaurin as a locked-in WR2 with WR1 upside, and bump Diggs up your board as a value add in the WR3/flex range — a solid target in the middle rounds who could outperform his draft slot if the target split leans his way. Confidence here is high since both sources agree on role and standing, but exact target distribution won't be clear until real usage data emerges, so don't overpay for Diggs expecting a 2020 Buffalo-level workload.

Fantasy Impact:

Diggs had been closely linked to Washington for a while. He should step into the immediate No. 2 wide receiver role behind Terry McLaurin. He is coming off a 1,000 yard season with the Patriots. This likely means they won't be signing Brandon Aiyuk.
