Stefon Diggs practised in full Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. The Commanders receiver sat out Wednesday for rest purposes following the club's bye week, not because of his hand and hamstring issues. Diggs is on track for normal availability Sunday against Philadelphia. A full practice is not a guarantee he plays, but nothing in this week's reports suggests any concern for his status in Week 8.
Diggs faces Philadelphia's pass defence, which has allowed 33.6 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 2nd most of 32. The matchup sets up well after averaging 8.2 half-PPR points a game over his last three.
Fantasy impact
Player by player
Stefon Diggs
Diggs has averaged 8.2 half-PPR points a game over his last three games on 7.7 targets a game and a 23 per cent target share. He caught 6 of 7 targets for 44 yards and 1 touchdown against San Francisco in Week 6 for 13.4 half-PPR points on 61 per cent of snaps. That touchdown lifted his season average to 11.5 half-PPR points a game, and he is scoring 1.9 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts (22nd of 176 receivers), so some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat.
Diggs plays 60 per cent of snaps on the season with a 23 per cent target share and 7.6 targets a game. His Roundup Score of 69 ranks 23rd of 191 receivers. Antonio Williams played 67 per cent of snaps in Week 6 with 4 targets, and Treylon Burks took 55 per cent of snaps with 6 targets, so the target distribution spreads across the receiver room. Standard and full-PPR managers should hold Diggs for the favourable Philadelphia matchup, where he projects to return WR2 value at home Sunday night.
What to do
• Hold Stefon Diggs for Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia's league-worst pass defence.
• Start Diggs as a low-end WR2 in the favourable home matchup Sunday night.
• Monitor the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff to confirm his availability, though nothing in this week's reports suggests concern.
