Stefon Diggs: 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Stefon Diggs went from WR64 in 2024 to WR17 in 2025. His current WR44 price at pick 103 should be judged against both seasons rather than assuming the latest finish repeats. Our published board ranks him #98, near consensus: draft at price, around pick 103.
Why this draft target?
- Our season projection is 11 PPR points per game. The model labels his risk low and upside moderate.
- His latest recorded season (2025) finished at WR17. The table below shows the full 10-season sample rather than treating one finish as a forecast.
- The unblended model ranks him #113, separately from the published board's #98. That disagreement is a caution to examine, not a different pick recommendation.
The verdict compares consensus ADP with the published board, not the raw model. A difference within two picks or 5% of ADP, whichever is larger, is fair price. Target pick also accounts for acquisition timing; it is not a guarantee of availability.
Where the market has him
Our published board has him at 98, 5 places higher than consensus ADP. Across 16 ranking sources the spread is 17.3 places — a long way apart.
The acquisition target is pick 103, round 11 in a 10-team league. Board rank orders player value; the target pick also accounts for market price. It is a guide, not a guarantee that the player will still be available. The replacement-level wide receiver we measure him against is Wan'Dale Robinson, which is the honest comparison: the question is never whether he is good, it is how much better he is than the player you could have instead.

The track record
Across 10 drafted seasons in our sample, Stefon Diggs finished at or above his positional draft price 6 times. He returned a severe bust in 1 of them. He played 13 games or fewer in 2 of those seasons — the availability line that separates hits from disasters more sharply than price does.

Positional draft rank against final positional finish on PPR total points. A severe bust is a finish outside the top 60 FLEX scorers.
Risk and upside
Our model tiers him low for risk and moderate for upside. Across the 2026 board those two scores are essentially uncorrelated, so a low-risk label is not a low-ceiling label.
Why the model says low risk: Low risk profile: weekly/market volatility (47.7) with injury-supported risk (35.9) as the secondary driver.
