Stefon Diggs is heading to the Washington Commanders, proving that the veteran receiver simply refuses to stop being a nightmare for opposing secondaries.
Washington desperately needed a reliable second option in their passing game, and they just landed a guy who was quietly cooking defenses on a part-time schedule last year. According to ESPN's Field Yates, the Commanders identified their glaring WR2 hole and filled it with a player who can still flat out play.
"Field Yates noted that Diggs 'can still flat out play' and called it a 'huge signing.'"
The underlying numbers from his 2025 campaign are honestly hilarious. Diggs finished 12th in the league in catches and 16th in receiving yards. That sounds like a standard solid season until you realize he did it while playing just 55 percent of the New England Patriots' snaps. For context, that is like hitting your monthly sales quota by Tuesday afternoon and taking the rest of the week off.
He also showed up when the lights were brightest. Diggs put together massive performances in primetime road wins against the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens, proving he still has the juice to swing high-stakes games.
If Diggs can put up top-20 numbers while barely playing half the game, giving him a full workload in Washington should terrify the rest of the NFC East. The Commanders just got significantly more dangerous, and fantasy managers are already adjusting their draft boards.
