Stefon Diggs

Another focus for Joe Brady is to get Stefon Diggs back involved in this offense and make plays like he was earlier in the season. In the first four games of the year, Diggs averaged 7.8 receptions and 99.8 receiving yards per game with four touchdowns. However, in Weeks 5-8 he averaged only 87.3 receiving yards per game but had 8.3 receptions and two touchdowns.

These past two games, two games that were losses, Diggs has only caught 4.5 passes and 60 receiving yards per game with one touchdown.

The All-Pro wide receiver has been trending in the wrong direction since the beginning of the season and there is no reason that Diggs shouldn't be seeing 10+ targets every game. He was getting a large target share over the first part of the season with double digit targets in six of the first eight games but only has had 12 total in the past two games.

Expect Joe Brady to lean on his stars and get Stefon Diggs involved early and often, even in a tough matchup against Sauce Gardner.
