Start: Stefon Diggs

While Josh Allen didn’t have a great game, Stefon Diggs certainly did the last time the Bills played the Steelers. The Buffalo Bills’ number one wide receiver finished with 10 receptions for 130 receiving yards and one touchdown.

He finished the game accounting for 41% of Allen’s completions and 55% of his passing yards in this game. Diggs once again should be active even though he likely draws the matchup against Joe Haden, who is one of the better cornerbacks in the league.

Stefon Diggs is one of the safer options in fantasy football this year, especially at wide receiver. The reason is that the volume is almost always going to be there playing in this offense and with how often Allen looks his way. He may not produce as a WR1 but is certainly startable this week.
