Stefon Diggs caught 3-of-5 targets for 51 yards in the Commanders’ Week 9 loss to the Rams.
With the Commanders down three receivers, Diggs appeared prime for a decent day against a Rams secondary that was down two corners. Instead, the 32-year-old receiver was outshone by journeyman Van Jefferson for most of the day until the final drive of the game. With the Commanders looking to mount a game-tying drive, Diggs broke free into the secondary to make a 42-yard reception, which accounted for nearly all of his receiving production. In two games without Terry McLaurin, Diggs has averaged just 5.5 targets per game and totaled 89 yards and a touchdown. He’s far from the target hog he was in his prime, and shouldn’t be treated as anything more than a WR3/WR4 on Thursday night against the Giants.
