Buffalo Bills WR1: Stefon Diggs

Stefon Diggs is a lock to be the number one receiver for the Buffalo Bills for not just training camp, but for the next few seasons.

The connection that he has developed with Josh Allen is hard to top. In 2020, Diggs set career highs in catches, yards, first down receptions, yards per game, and catch percentage. He caught more than twice as many passes in 2020 (127) than he did in 2019 (63).

Diggs provided the Bills with their first real star receiver since Eric Moulds. He and Allen’s aforementioned connection shot the Buffalo offense into the stratosphere in 2020. Diggs and Allen were mutually beneficial to each other; each helping the other have career years.

Diggs was able to find success against several of the league’s best defensive units. He surpassed 100 yards on six occasions and had ten or more catches in five games. He also had two 100+ yard games and two touchdowns in the playoff wins over Indianapolis and Baltimore.

It will be difficult for Diggs to top his dominant 2020 performance; if his 2021 numbers are anywhere near what his 2020 numbers were, the Bills will be more than pleased.

Diggs is the gold standard of an absolutely stacked wide receiver depth chart, and it would take an all-time breakout performance from Gabriel Davis, or a disastrous turn of events for Diggs to change the number one receiver spot on the depth chart.
