STM Take

Diggs at STTM #17 tier 3 in his one-year Patriots stop is the late-career step down from the 2020 first-team All-Pro peak. The 942 career catches and 11,504 yards still make him one of the most decorated active WRs; the rank reflects age 32 production rather than elite-tier ceiling. The cut from NE and his current FA status mean his next team will determine the 2026 outlook.

Diggs was born in Gaithersburg, Maryland and played three years at Maryland before Minnesota took him 146th overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. He caught the 2017 Minneapolis Miracle, was first-team All-Pro and led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards in 2020, and has made four Pro Bowls. Career line is 942 catches for 11,504 yards and 74 TDs across 11 seasons. He played one season with New England in 2025 before being cut, and is currently a free agent.

Strengths

  • Career 942 catches and 74 TDs through 11 seasons; the resume is one of the deepest among active WRs.
  • 2020 first-team All-Pro with the receptions and yards titles; the historical peak is fully documented.

Concerns

  • Cut by NE after a single 2025 season; the team-by-team mileage is now showing.
  • Recent game log includes a 3.6 PPR finale (Wk 19); the late-career floor games are now the baseline.

What to watch: Where he signs in 2026; a contender slot would re-validate the tier-3 finish, a depth role would confirm the decline.
