It's wild to think that a 1,225-yard, 10 touchdown season was a statistical dip and even a bit of a disappointment for Stefon Diggs in 2021, but that just goes to show how strong his 2020 season really was. Diggs once again finished as a rock-solid WR1 for fantasy and he's now finished with at least 1,000 receiving yards in four straight seasons while accumulating 33 touchdowns over that stretch. Many predicted that he'd struggle to find chemistry with what was a fairly erratic quarterback in Josh Allen, but Diggs has enjoyed the best two years of his professional career while in Buffalo. Now headed into his third season with the team, the sky is truly the limit for this dynamic duo.
Diggs' target share fell about five percentage points in 2021 from where it was in 2020, but a quick glance at the roster indicates that he should see more passes coming his way this season. The team lost both Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders this offseason and while they did make some additions like veteran Jamison Crowder and fifth-round NFL Draft pick Khalil Shakir, they really didn't invest much in the position. This often means that a team will lean even more heavily on their already established weapons and Diggs is really the only player on the roster who has a long-term track record of production.
With many top wide receivers finding themselves in new homes this off-season, Diggs really does have the upside to finish as an elite option at the position once again here in 2022. He's an extremely safe bet to see a high target share in a heavy passing offense and his 25 end zone targets far out-paced any other player in the league a season ago, leaving us hopeful that we may see another double-digit touchdown season from the veteran wideout.
