Stefon Diggs's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) was officially placed on injured reserve on Tuesday. It was announced earlier in the day that Diggs had torn his ACL in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Moving Diggs to IR gives the Texans the roster space to potentially add another wide receiver for depth. The Texans will still be without standout wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) until Week 10. This opens up a huge void of targets and opportunities for second-year wide receiver Tank Dell. Dell was excellent in 2023 when he was the only show in town. The Texans will need him to step up in a big way in the coming weeks while they wait for Collins to ramp back up. The Texans will likely also spread to ball around to wide receivers Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, and John Metchie III, along with tight end Dalton Schultz.

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran wide receiver went down with a non-contact injury while running a route. Unfortunately, many fantasy players knew Diggs' season was likely over after seeing him go down. The Texans' wide receiver core has gone from an elite unit to average, at best, until Nico Collins (hamstring) returns in a few weeks. In the meantime, Tank Dell will operate as the No. 1 wide receiver, with John Metchie III, Xavier Hutchinson, and Robert Woods also earning targets. Fantasy players with C.J. Stroud on their roster should explore replacement options on the waiver wire until Collins is back in the lineup.

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) was listed as did not practice during Monday's estimated report. This comes as little surprise after Diggs exited Sunday's game with a non-contact knee injury. The team is expected to have Diggs undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Fantasy managers should get a backup plan ready in case Diggs isn't ready for Thursday's game against the New York Jets. The MRI results should give more clarity on the situation. Tank Dell could end up with a heavy workload in this banged up offense.

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts after suffering a serious-looking, non-contact injury. Although Diggs was able to walk off the field, he was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the contest. He finished Week 8 with five catches for 81 yards. With both Diggs and Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined, the Texans could enter next week's game against the New York Jets with a receiving corps headlined by Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie, and Robert Woods. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for updates on Diggs' status and exactly how much time he'll miss.

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs remains a high-floor starting lineup option when the Texans take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. The veteran receiver has been a nice WR2 option with steady production every week, garnering at least six targets and four catches in every game. With wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve, though, the former Bill is temporarily the No. 1 option in Houston and playing a Colts team against whom he caught two touchdowns in Week 1. The upside of the role, the offense, and the matchup should have fantasy managers confidently starting Diggs as a fringe WR1 in Week 8.
