Fantasy football outlook for Stefon Diggs in Week 11 against the Colts

Stefon Diggs had a season-high in receiving yards against the New York Jets. Can he have another game like that this week against the Indianapolis Colts?

This year has been a bit frustrating for people who drafted Stefon Diggs as he has not been able to replicate his performance from a season ago, even though he is in the same offense with the same quarterback.

It hasn’t been due to Diggs not being involved in this offense as he has only one game with fewer than seven targets. However, he has seen his catch rate drop from 76% last year to 65% this year and is averaging almost two receptions fewer per game.

However, the game against the New York Jets was his best game of the season as he had eight receptions, 166 receiving yards, and found the end zone. This now marks the third game over the past four weeks that he has had a touchdown.

Opponent Preview

The Indianapolis Colts have struggled against wide receivers this year and have allowed a league-high 15 touchdowns to wide receivers. According to NFL.com, in the past four weeks, the Colts are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. In that stretch, wide receivers have 52 receptions, 631 receiving yards, and five receiving touchdowns.

Should you start Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs this week against the Colts?

There is no real secret to this offense for the Buffalo Bills and when Stefon Diggs is involved and making an impact, this is a tough group to stop. This week, the Bills top wide receiver looks to have an advantage against the Colts cornerbacks and Josh Allen should once again target him frequently.

Stefon Diggs this week should be viewed as a WR1 for fantasy football and has the potential to finish Top 5 at the position.
