Diggs is a WR3 this week due to the Rams' elite slot coverage and unsustainable TD rate.

The Rams have locked down the slot this year. While cornerback Jaylen Watson's season-ending shoulder injury affects the Rams defense overall, Antonio Williams and Treylon Burks are expected to be the primary beneficiaries. Diggs' role hasn't changed much with Terry McLaurin out for the season, but he has gotten by in fantasy through touchdowns, catching five through six games played, which masks his concerning 42 receiving yards per game. Only one receiver has reached 40 slot yards against the Rams this year, and Diggs' touchdown odds are just 33% in betting markets, indicating Vegas isn't buying his touchdown rate is sustainable.
