Stefon Diggs vs. Seahawks cornerbacks

As for the Buffalo Bills, they also have one of the best wide receivers this year in Stefon Diggs. In his first year with the team, Diggs ranks second in receiving yards (695), third in receptions (54), and is first in targets (79).

There is no question that Josh Allen is going to lean heavily on Diggs and look his way early and often. The question is who will be asked to cover the Bills star wide receiver? This would have likely been Shaquill Griffin but he was ruled out this week with a hamstring injury.

The Seahawks likely starting corners will be Quinton Dunbar and Tre Flowers. Since there isn’t a clear cut top corner, the Seahawks may not have one player follow Stefon Diggs.

In the end, this is one matchup that the Buffalo Bills should have the advantage and they will need to win.
