From the article

In three games without Terry McLaurin (IR), Diggs is the WR30 on WR24 usage. His role isn't going to change in terms of snaps or alignment, but the Commanders may pass more without McLaurin helping to establish a lead and first-read targets are easier to justify to Diggs without their top target. Diggs is a fantasy WR3 right now, while Antonio Williams is starting to break out in a full-time role.

Diggs' WR24 usage without McLaurin makes him a WR3; slot role suits his game but limits ceiling.

In three games without Terry McLaurin (IR), Diggs is WR30 on WR24 usage. His role won't change in terms of snaps or alignment, but the Commanders may pass more without McLaurin helping to establish a lead, making first-read targets easier to justify to Diggs without their top target. On tape, Diggs plays a crafty slot/underneath role similar to how Travis Kelce plays it—finding soft spots in zone and out of structure. He's a clear red-zone threat with space getting tight but isn't creating a ton of separation at the top of his routes in man coverage. Diggs had 9.8 expected half PPR points (WR24) last week in a decisive win. He's a fantasy WR3 right now, while Antonio Williams is starting to break out in a full-time role.
