The 2020 season was a special one for Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs. In his first season in Buffalo after he was traded from the Minnesota Vikings, he exploded for career numbers. He led the league with his 127 receptions and 1,535 receiving yards, and he was a big reason for the Bills’ offensive success and QB Josh Allen‘s improvement.
Now, entering 2021, he is going to be expected to have a similar season and lead the Bills’ passing game as they enter the season among the favorites in the AFC.

Where should you take Diggs in your fantasy football draft?
He was great last year and he should be great again in 2021, but you shouldn’t expect him to match last year’s numbers. Based on his usage and the offense, he will still likely be a high-volume receiver who catches more than 100 passes. That is great for PPR leagues.
While his receptions per game might dip slightly, along with his receiving yards, he has the potential to score more than the eight touchdowns he scored last season.
He is a clear-cut WR1.
Diggs is a slight reach at the end of the first round, but is worth a second-round pick, provided you already have a high-end quarterback or running back.
