Stefon Diggs signs one-year deal with Washington Commanders
Stefon Diggs, WR, Washington Commanders, is officially signed after the team formally announced a one-year contract worth up to $12 million.
Diggs slots in as the second option behind Terry McLaurin. He ranked first among all NFL wide receivers in reception percentage last season, catching 82.5% of his targets. That kind of target efficiency translates well in PPR leagues.
The Commanders waived offensive lineman Tyler Cooper to create roster space for Diggs.
What does this mean for his fantasy value?
Diggs is joining a new team for the third consecutive season, which is worth factoring into your expectations. The reception percentage number is the strongest reason for optimism. A receiver who catches better than four of every five targets directed his way is going to produce when the volume is there.
McLaurin figures to command the top target share, but Diggs is a real WR2 on the depth chart, not a depth piece. Monitor training camp for snap share and target distribution as the season approaches. In deeper leagues and PPR formats, Diggs is worth adding now.
