BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: It's probably going to take a little bit to establish the pecking order in the Houston Texans's pass-catching game after the addition of Stefon Diggs this offseason. Diggs joins a team that already had Nico Collins and Tank Dell on it.
Still, despite the logjam at wideout in Houston, second-year QB C.J. Stroud should be able to support two top 30 fantasy wide receivers. Collins is the more likely to finish close to a WR1, but don't discount what Diggs can do with a fresh start in H-Town.
Stefon Diggs
Weeks 1-10, career highs in
⁃ Fantasy points/game
⁃ Receiving yards/game
⁃ Targets/gameWR4 overall before being phased out of offense in Week 11.
Four straight Top 10 WR seasons.

For Week 1, consider Diggs a low-end WR2 with upside. There's some concern considering he had his fewest receiving yards last season since 2019, but he still posted his sixth season in a row with over 1,000 yards. Playing across from Collins should open the field up for Diggs, who'll be a threat to record double-digit touchdowns in 2024.
