Round 3 – 4

Stefon Diggs

Injuries and unstable quarterback play stifled Diggs just a bit last year, but don’t expect that to roll over into 2017. Diggs is the clear number one receiver in Minnesota, and is hoping to have a breakout season.

His speed is something to marvel over. He’s a definite deep ball threat, but he’s so much more than that. His route running is precise and sharp enough to keep defenders on their toes. His timing with Sam Bradford was a bit off last season, but that can be expected to change in the quarterback’s second year in the Twin Cities.

Stefon Diggs is going to get his catches, so for PPR leagues, he’s a very safe bet. If the offensive line is able to hold up, expect to see Diggs get some deep action as well. Hopefully he can find pay dirt a little more in 2017, but he is a great addition in any fantasy football league.
