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

The Buffalo Bills are trading All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs, a 2024 sixth-round pick, and a 2025 fifth-round pick to the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick. Needless to say, this is a shocking and exciting development, and quarterback C.J. Stroud will now have no shortage of weapons to throw to in 2024. However, the fantasy football outlooks of Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Dalton Schultz are likely to take sizable hits. In Buffalo, Curtis Samuel and Khalil Shakir now move into the temporary WR1 and WR2 roles, but the Bills are surely planning to draft one or two wide receivers in the first three rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft. Diggs has expressed frustration in Buffalo over the last few seasons, but he has remained productive. The 30-year-old has posted at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of the last six seasons, including at least 1,100 yards in his last four campaigns with Buffalo. He keeps his WR1 upside in his new Texans uniform.

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia believes that the wide receiver position is the Buffalo Bills' biggest need heading into the new league year in 2024. The Bills will still have quarterback Josh Allen and receiver Stefon Diggs, but the second half of last year yielded a lack of consistent explosive plays on offense and capped some of the team's overall potential. The absence of an explosive receiver who could attract attention away from Diggs made the Bills rely on shorter throws, their running game and longer drives to come away with points. Adding a top-tier receiver in this year's NFL draft could help open things up for Buffalo on offense significantly, which could help them eventually return to the Super Bowl. Giving Diggs help across the field should also help him produce more after he ended last year with a low ceiling for fantasy managers.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs expressed uncertainty about his future in Buffalo in his first comments since losing in the Divisional Round of the playoffs to the Kansas City Chiefs. When asked whether he was ready to move forward with the Bills, Diggs said, "I'm ready to go no matter which way it goes," and did not elaborate. Diggs saved his worst for last in the loss to KC, catching just three passes for 21 yards on eight targets while also dropping a crucial deep pass that could have won the game in the fourth quarter. Diggs will have a $27.354 million salary cap hit in 2024 and still has three years left on the four-year extension he signed in 2022. General manager Brandon Beane backed Diggs after being eliminated from the playoffs, but Diggs' recent comments could be construed as non-committal to his future in Buffalo. The 30-year-old had a sixth straight 1,000-yard season in 2023, but he finished with just 422 yards and two touchdowns in his final 10 games.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a disastrous second half of the 2023 season that extended into the playoffs. Over his final 13 games, he failed to post over 87 receiving yards, and he fell under 55 yards in eight of those contests. He caught just ten passes for 73 yards and no touchdowns in the Bills' playoff games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs. However, general manager Brandon Beane is confident in Diggs moving forward. "He's a No. 1 receiver," Beane told reporters on Tuesday during his end-of-season news conference. "I firmly believe that. I'm not wavering off of that. We have to continue to put weapons out there to keep teams from bracketing him or locking him down in different ways. I know there's various reasons or questions on this, there's production and all that, but I still see Stef as a No. 1 receiver." The three-time Pro Bowler turned 30 during the 2023 campaign, so there's a chance he is beyond his prime years of production. That said, it sounds like Beane would like to keep him around and the team still views him as the clear top option in the passing game for 2024.

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.
