Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs flopped one more time in Sunday's 27-24 Divisional Round defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs to wrap up a concerning drop-off, finishing with a season-low 21 yards on three catches (eight targets) and a seven-yard carry. As they've done in recent weeks, the Bills often sent Diggs in motion and used him in the backfield to avoid L'Jarius Sneed's shadow coverage, but it wasn't enough to get him going. Diggs started a rough evening by coughing up the ball on his first catch, but Dalton Kincaid was there to bat it out of bounds. Diggs had a chance to save his day by coming down with a deep Josh Allen bomb late, but the 30-year-old wideout couldn't corral the pass. It brings a merciful end to a dreadful second half for Diggs, who last scored in Week 12 and broke the 80-yard barrier in Week 6. A cinch first-round fantasy pick in recent years, Diggs' late-season decline could push him out of that echelon in 2024 drafts.
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had 68 receiving yards in the team's 34-10 Divisional Round loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Collins was held in check for the most part by this Baltimore secondary, as the wideout totaled five catches for 68 yards. The third-year playmaker, though, did lead the team with 68 receiving yards and saw a game-high 10 targets. It was a remarkable season for Collins, who truly proved himself as the Texans' WR1 of the future. He should fly up draft boards in fantasy next season.
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud struggled on the road in the team's 34-10 Divisional Round loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Stroud was not particularly efficient on Saturday, completing 19-of-33 passes for just 175 yards. The Ravens held the rookie in check, which resulted in him throwing zero touchdowns in a game for the fourth time this season. After a successful rookie campaign, Stroud's season will officially end. However, he has emerged as a top fantasy quarterback option and should be drafted pretty early in Superflex formats next season.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs posted his second straight seven-catch effort in last Monday's wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he failed to score for the sixth week in a row. Diggs handled the shadow coverage of top Steelers cornerback Joey Porter fairly well, but things won't get any easier in Sunday's Divisional Round versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs gave up the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts in the regular season, and Diggs also lines up for shadow treatment against L'Jarius Sneed, who allowed zero touchdowns and the fewest PPR fantasy points per target (1.00) over 16 games in 2023. Primarily covering Diggs when these squads clashed in Week 14, Sneed clamped down on him for Diggs' season low in yards (24). Without a 100-yard showing since Week 6, Diggs' looks more boom-or-bust than ever, but that should at least depress his DFS rostership and offer some contrarian appeal.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's Divisional Round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. As expected, he's good to go and will play despite appearing on the injury report this week after injuring his foot in the wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Diggs was held out of practice on Thursday but returned to a limited session on Friday. Gabe Davis (knee) is missing another game this weekend, so quarterback Josh Allen could lean even more on Diggs, who hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 12. However, he was targeted nine times against the Steelers on Monday and caught seven passes for 52 yards. The matchup against the Chiefs is not the friendliest, but Diggs should have plenty of volume to make some noise as the fifth-most expensive WR at DraftKings.
