Shawn Siegele examines a veteran star with perhaps the most bizarre ADP in all of fantasy.

Stefon Diggs entered the NFL as probably the most hyped RotoViz sleeper in the site’s history, and he proceeded to play quite well during his first five seasons. He averaged over 200 points per season from 2016 to 2019 and constantly flirted with WR1 status.

A trade to Buffalo changed everything. Diggs exploded for four consecutive top-10 finishes, two of which crossed the 300-point threshold and pushed him into the top five.

Now we have another RV favorite poised to benefit from a context shift that could change everything. He joins a priority target group that includes . . .

The next article in the priority targets series will focus on when to let your Zero RB winners go and how to find the next Austin Ekeler. But today, we’re going to stay on receivers.

Shawn Siegele August 2, 2025
