Commanders WR Stefon Diggs hauled in 6 of 10 targets for 83 yards and a TD in Thursday night’s win over the Giants. Diggs was having a typical mediocre outing before catching a quick slant, shaking off a defender, and racing into the end zone for a game-winning 32-yard TD with less than a minute to go.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Schedule Helps the Stretch Run
This was Diggs’ second-best fantasy outing of the season, trailing only his 2-TD Week 2. The 83 receiving yards were easily his most. Diggs hadn’t topped 55 yards in any of his first seven games. He also set a season high with 10 targets against the Giants.
Don’t expect many more ceiling games from Diggs this season. He’s still averaging just 10.7 yards per catch on an 8.3-yard average target depth.
But he continues to look like a relatively high-floor fantasy starter. Diggs has now seen 6+ targets in 7 of 8 games, averaging 7.4 per game. He’s caught 4+ balls in 6 games, with 5+ in 4 of them.
Diggs also gets a favorable schedule the rest of the way: ninth-easiest according to our adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs. That includes games against the league’s two worst WR defenses in the Titans (Week 13) and Texans (Week 14).
You’ll probably want to bench Diggs in Week 16 against the Vikings’ WR defense, but he looks like a rock-solid WR3 for the rest of the season.
