6. WR Stefon Diggs, Vikings

Week 2- Sep. 16 and Week 12- Nov. 25

Diggs is still the Packer slayer until further notice. For some reason, he always dominates Green Bay’s defense no matter who they throw at him in coverage. His career game came in 2016 against the Packers when he racked up 182 yards on nine catches. An outing Damarious Randall is still having nightmares about.

Diggs will continue to produce with Kirk Cousins if his nepotism toward slot receiver Jamison Crowder carries over in Minnesota.

2018 should be the first year he finally reaches 1,000 yards in a season with more stability under center. I could see corner Jaire Alexander seeing a lot of time lined up across from Diggs for the foreseeable future.

Though, hopefully, the results improve.
