Diggs and Terry McLaurin have combined to account for 55 percent of the Commanders' air yards through two games; with Marcus Mariota under center for the injury-marred Jayden Daniels, the Commanders should continue as an air yards-producing offense, supporting Diggs' fantasy viability.

Trade value ranked 22 in Week 3 wide receiver breakdown.

Ranked #31 among wide receivers in rest-of-season trade value with a HALFPPR value of 22, placing him in the lower tier of trade assets.

Diggs was brought in late in training camp to complement McLaurin in the wide receiver room, but the source suggests he has taken over the entire show rather than serving as a complement. Daniels was expecting a dynamic duo with McLaurin on the outside and Diggs on the inside, but Diggs appears to be getting the primary target share.

Stefon Diggs is not going to be a full-time player at age 32; he posted route rates of 66% and 52% through two weeks in Washington (compared to 58% for the Patriots last season despite being their only above-average receiver), and that low route share eventually caught up with him in New England as he scored fewer than six half-PPR points in four of his last six regular-season games, prompting the source to recommend moving him now while three touchdowns on nine catches make him an elite fantasy producer.

Stefon Diggs has been a gigantic win for the Commanders so far, surpassing 950 career receptions to become the 23rd player in league history to reach that milestone. He has 3 touchdown catches and is providing quality leadership.

Stefon Diggs has been a gigantic win for the Commanders so far in 2026. He surpassed 950 career receptions to become the 23rd player in league history to reach that milestone and has 3 touchdown catches through Week 2, providing quality leadership.

One owner mentions Diggs as a flex option alongside Bowers and Kincaid. No specific commentary on his role or performance.

Stefon Diggs should be avoided as the Commanders' offense is projected to be the worst in the NFL, hampered by a poor offensive line and subpar quarterback play.

Diggs has outperformed Terry McLaurin in the early going and ranks 32nd in yards per route run (2.17), significantly ahead of McLaurin's 0.93. Diggs has historically been the leading target everywhere he's played throughout his career, and his presence is limiting McLaurin's target share.

Has caught three touchdowns through two weeks, putting him on track for his highest-scoring season since 2023. Established himself as one of the team's two leading pass-catchers alongside third-round rookie Antonio Williams, though the Jayden Daniels injury clouds the outlook for continued production.

Diggs' target share dropped to 16.2% in Week 2 from a Week 1-high of 25.7%, but he still scored twice from both QBs and leads the Commanders with 15 targets, nine catches, 102 yards, and three touchdowns through two games.

Commanders WR Stefon Diggs recorded 2 TDs in Week 2 but downplayed the significance, stating "That sh*t don't matter…I've been in the league a long time, scored plenty of touchdowns. I'm not really too concerned about it. I just want to win."

Stefon Diggs caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota in the second half of Washington's loss to Dallas. Diggs was added to the Commanders offense as part of a talented pass-catcher group (alongside Antonio Williams and Chig Okonkwo) designed to reduce pressure on Jayden Daniels and avoid him having to carry the offense. With Mariota now starting in Week 3 against Seattle, Diggs remains a primary target in the reconstructed offense emphasizing play-action and traditional run game.

Recorded a 2 TD day in Week 2; when asked about it, Diggs downplayed the significance, stating 'That sh*t don't matter…I've been in the league a long time, scored plenty of touchdowns. I'm not really too concerned about it. I just want to win.'

Diggs caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Mariota on a 10-play, 73-yard drive, part of Mariota's strategy of spreading the ball around to multiple receivers (Antonio Williams, Rachaad White, Brown, and Diggs) rather than trying to manufacture everything himself.

Diggs caught a 20-yard touchdown from Marcus Mariota in the second half against Dallas, demonstrating early chemistry with the backup quarterback. He was added to the Commanders' roster as part of the front office's plan to provide Jayden Daniels with talented pass catchers and reduce the burden on the quarterback.

Stefon Diggs had a respectable game against Dallas, though the source notes that Commanders receivers were a mixed bag overall in that matchup.

Trade value of 19.6 with +0.7 week-over-week increase; ranked 7th among receivers; modest positive momentum; upcoming matchups vs. SEA, IND, NYG.

Stefon Diggs has scored at least 15.5 fantasy points in both games to start the 2026 season, establishing himself as the Commanders' top receiving option ahead of teammates Terry McLaurin and Antonio Williams.

Diggs and the Commanders will likely have to navigate the foreseeable future without franchise quarterback Jayden Daniels, who suffered a dislocated left elbow just before halftime in Week 2. There are no fractures, but Daniels is expected to miss time; he missed roughly a month in 2025 with the same elbow issue. The Commanders are now 0-2 and will rely on a veteran group that includes Diggs to help the team not fall too far behind.

Diggs' two scores in Week 2 brought him to 77 career receiving touchdowns, tying him with Joey Galloway for 38th all-time on the receiving touchdowns list. He is now four scores away from the top 35, where he would tie Art Powell and Steve Smith Sr. at 81 career receiving touchdowns.

Diggs recorded his best game with the Commanders against Dallas in Week 2, posting two touchdowns, five catches, and 47 yards on six targets. His first score came on a four-yard flat route from Jayden Daniels in the redzone; his second was a tight double coverage catch while falling on the endzone sideline in the fourth quarter. Through two weeks, the 32-year-old leads the Commanders offense in catches, yards, and touchdowns.

Three of Diggs' nine catches to open the 2026 NFL season have gone for touchdowns, but he is facing a brutal matchup against the Seahawks in Week 3. Seattle is allowing the fewest FPPG to receivers this season and Diggs will have to do damage with backup quarterback Marcus Mariota playing in place of the injured Jayden Daniels. That doesn't seem like a recipe for success.
