Stefon Diggs – LOSER

Stefon Diggs has been Sam Bradford’s favorite target so far this season, but that was hard to see in the week 11 matchup. Diggs is known for his quickness and great hands, but he had a hard time breaking loose from Patrick Peterson all day. In an opportunity to shine against one of the league’s top defensive backs, Diggs didn’t come up big.

Stefon Diggs had 6 catches for 37 yards.

The amount of receptions Diggs brought in is solid, but it seemed as if as soon as he caught the ball, he was brought down. Obviously all eyes were on Diggs by the Cardinals, but Diggs was unable to break loose for any big plays.

Diggs is known for his big plays and his presence going downfield. In the game against Arizona, this was not the case. Adam Thielen came up big, but if the Vikings want to continue their offensive success, they will need to see more production from each catch by Stefon Diggs.
