With Terry McLaurin out for the season, Diggs will be leading the way for Washington's aerial attack moving forward. Diggs is the WR24 in fantasy points per game with a 20.9% target share, 1.60 YPRR, five red zone targets, four deep targets, and a 25.4% first-read share. The source projects Diggs should be a strong WR2 this week against Philadelphia, who has allowed the 13th-most yards per target, the most receiving fantasy points per game, and the seventh-most fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers over their last five games.

Ranked WR21; Commanders projected for 23.5 points against Eagles defense that is healthy but vulnerable. Despite Antonio Williams replacing Terry McLaurin, Kyler Gordon projects Diggs to remain around 65% snap share rather than spike to 85%; Eagles have shown weakness in slot coverage. On per-game basis this season: WR25 overall, WR24 usage, WR19 targets, WR23 receptions—pacing for low-end WR2 with WR3 upside; loss of McLaurin should increase featured role in game plan.

With Terry McLaurin out for the year, the Commanders' receiving corps is going to look different coming out of the bye. While Diggs' role might not change that much, he's likely to see more targets. That's notable against an Eagles defense that's giving up the second-most fantasy points to receivers, the sixth-most receiving yards and the ninth-most receiving touchdowns. In the last four games, six WRs have posted at least 70 yards against Philly.

Diggs is the Commanders' best remaining receiving weapon after McLaurin's season-ending injury. He remains an outstanding route runner with elite ability to change pace, manipulate leverage, and separate. The Commanders move him around extensively to find favorable matchups, spending significant time in the slot but not staying in one place all evening. He provides Daniels with a dependable option in an offense that badly needs reliable targets.

Stefon Diggs is a top-five must-start receiver when Lamar Jackson is under center for Baltimore. This is a phenomenal matchup against Buffalo, which has allowed the single most fantasy points to the receiver position and has a disastrous secondary. The source also feels best about Diggs stepping into the alpha role in Washington's offense against Philadelphia; while consistency week-to-week is uncertain given the 40.5-point total and Jaden Daniels' passing volume variability, Diggs is projected to have a solid floor of around five for 50 or four for 50 yards with probable touchdown upside every other week, positioning him as the most likely target leader.

With Terry McLaurin out, Diggs becomes the Commanders' only wideout with true production history and has proven early he still has juice left. Against Philadelphia's defense, which ranks as one of the worst versus the slot, Diggs should thrive. The Eagles have also struggled pressuring the quarterback; when Jayden Daniels is not pressured, Diggs has been targeted on 34% of his routes so far. Diggs won't see an increase in snaps but shouldn't need to in this favorable matchup.

With Terry McLaurin out for the season, Stefon Diggs assumes the lead role in Washington's aerial attack. Diggs ranks WR24 in fantasy points per game with a 20.9% target share, 1.60 YPRR, five red zone targets, four deep targets, and 25.4% first-read share. Derek Brown projects Diggs as a strong WR2 this week. Philadelphia has allowed the 13th-most yards per target, the most receiving fantasy points per game, and the seventh-most fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers over their last five games.

Diggs averages 13.9 PPG with a 27% targets-per-route run (TPRR), ranking 10th among WRs with at least 125 routes, in company with Matthew Golden, DeVonta Smith, Chris Olave, and Drake London. With Terry McLaurin on IR, Diggs' weakness—lack of a full-time role—could be corrected, potentially elevating him to a top-24 option for the rest of the season. Against Philadelphia, slot WRs have destroyed the Eagles defense, and Diggs aligns in the slot 63% of the time; Philadelphia allows the No. 2 boost to slot WRs (+5.3 PPG). The source ranks Diggs as a low-end WR2 with WR1 upside in Week 8 with a median projection of 12.0 PPG, ceiling of 18.7, and floor of 8.7. Note: Diggs did not practice Wednesday; monitor his status.

Diggs is working as the WR26 in PPR points per game but should see plenty of volume with Terry McLaurin (knee, IR) done for the season. The Eagles have kept No. 1 CB Quinyon Mitchell sitting as their wide right cornerback on over 80 percent of his snaps this season, though Mitchell was moved to the left side for 24 snaps in Week 7 (just 1 in Weeks 1-6), which still didn't result in a direct shadow on either Cowboys wide receiver.
