Stefon Diggs, WR

Last season, Diggs established himself as a vital part of the Vikings’ offense. Despite missing three games due to injury last year, the young wide receiver was still able to lead Minnesota in catches.

If he is able to stay healthy and play a full 16-game season, the sky is the limit for Diggs in 2017. Entering his third season with the team, the Vikings’ 23-year-old pass catcher may be in for his best year yet.

Diggs saw a boost in his numbers once Pat Shurmur took over the offense in Week 9 last season. A full year in Shurmur’s scheme may be just what Diggs needs to elevate his game to a level that is comparable to some of the NFL’s best at his position.
