Stefon Diggs says no WR2 in the NFL is better than him

Free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs (WR, unsigned) posted a video to his YouTube channel making a direct challenge to the rest of the league: name a better WR2.

"My opinion, I can compete with anybody. But take those as your ones, right? You can't name a number two better than me. There's not a number two on a team. Let's presumably give people the credit and just say, 'Okay, you want to take the number one spot away?' Name your number two receiver right now, and tell me how much he makes, and then my last question is: Is he better than me?"

Diggs said he would concede seven receivers rank as true No. 1 targets. His logic puts him no worse than the eighth-best receiver in the NFL.

Hard to argue with the production. Diggs had 1,013 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns in 17 games during 2025 and played in the Super Bowl. A 32-year-old receiver doing that and sitting unsigned two weeks before training camp is genuinely unusual.

Why is he still available?

New England released Diggs in March to clear $26.5 million in cap space. The Patriots then traded for A.J. Brown and signed Romeo Doubs to fill out the receiver room, leaving Diggs on the market.

Where could he land?

Several teams have been connected to Diggs. The Kansas City Chiefs are considered a frontrunner. They have $13.2 million in unused cap space and a Patrick Mahomes-led offense where Diggs would step in as WR2 immediately.

The Washington Commanders are another option. Diggs would pair with Terry McLaurin and upgrade a WR2 spot currently projected for Luke McCaffrey. The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons have also been linked to him. In Atlanta, Diggs would be an automatic top target alongside Drake London for either Michael Penix Jr. or Tua Tagovailoa.

What this means for your roster

Diggs has the production to be a WR2 or flex starter in 2026. Kansas City is the highest-upside destination given the volume and efficiency of that offense. Washington and Atlanta are reasonable fallback spots that could still produce startable numbers.

He is a wait-and-see add until he signs. The longer this drags on, the more a discount deal becomes possible, which could actually benefit whatever team lands him. Do not draft him without knowing where he lands.
