Stefon Diggs Is Not on the Injury Report
Stefon Diggs is inarguably an immense talent who currently ranks 18th overall in Reception NEP. Last season alone, he paced for 128 catches through his first two games before an injury hampered his performance throughout the year.
That noticeable trend has continued into this season. In five games that Diggs hasn't been listed on the Minnesota Vikings' final injury report, he's averaged 9.2 targets, 5.2 receptions, 93.8 yards and 1 score. When he played through a groin injury in Week 5 and returned (despite being listed as questionable) in Week 8, he averaged a mere 5.0 targets, 2.5 catches, and 15.5 yards.
The Los Angeles Rams have admittedly been a terrible matchup for opposing offenses, ranking third in Adjusted Defense Passing NEP so far this year. But Diggs practiced in full and wasn't listed on Minnesota's final injury report Friday. His ceiling alone makes him a player worth starting despite the undeniably poor matchup.
