Stefon Diggs Is A Strong Week 16 Option
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has a strong track record against the Green Bay Packers as he has hit paydirt in each of the last six meetings between the storied franchises (seven total touchdowns). Injuries to the Vikings' top two running backs likely means that they will be looking to throw a bit more than usual, which is clearly a favorable development for Diggs' prospects. The Packers Defense has been in a freefall as of late, particularly the secondary. They give up 15.92 yards per reception (highest in the NFL) and just allowed Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller to torch them for over 115 yards each in Week 15. Diggs will see a lot of Kevin King, who is not even close to the level of cornerback that he has taken to town in recent weeks. Expect Diggs to get plenty of opportunities in this game and start him with confidence as a borderline WR1/WR2 option with plenty of upside.
