The New England Patriots will host the New York Giants in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Stefon Diggs.
Is Stefon Diggs Playing in Week 13?
Diggs is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Patriots’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Diggs in Week 13?
Every Patriot not named Hunter Henry left us wanting much more last week in what was set up to be a perfect matchup in Cincinnati, and Diggs was no exception.
He entered the game with a TD reception or 7+ catches in five straight games: he promptly posts a 9.1% target share (over 27% in the two games prior and over 21% in four of the previous five) and 28 air yards (fourth lowest this season).
The trust from Drake Maye remains, and we saw it with a 14-yard hookup late to convert a third-and-11 and ice the game. Realistically, that’s all I need. The Giants have allowed a receiver to clear 20 PPR points in each of the past three weeks (Rome Odunze, Christian Watson, and Amon-Ra St. Brown), and there’s no question who the Patriots WR is most likely to capitalize on that trend.
