• Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Not wearing pads Monday

  2D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Diggs isn't wearing pads at Monday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Diggs still came out on the field with his teammates and wasn't sporting any sort of wrap or brace. The Vikings may just be rewarding him with a reduced practice workload after he caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown on the opening drive of Saturday's preseason win over the Broncos. It was encouraging to see Diggs account for three targets on Kirk Cousins' four pass attempts.

• Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Scores TD in preseason win

  4D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Diggs had three receptions for 35 yards, including a one-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason win at Denver. Diggs and Kirk Cousins showed quick chemistry together as Cousins connected with Diggs on a 28-yard pass with a narrow window for completion on the first-team offense's only drive. Diggs could be a primary benefactor if Cousins is able to take Minnesota's passing offense up another level.

• Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Signing five-year extension

  15D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Diggs and the Vikings have agreed to a five-year extension worth approximately $14 million per season, Ben Goessling of The Star Tribune reports. While yet to produce a 1,000-yard season, Diggs has vastly outperformed his fifth-round draft spot, averaging 67 catches for 824 yards and five touchdowns per season despite playing only 13 or 14 games in each of his three NFL campaigns. His new extension -- which will likely rank around 10th to 12th among wide receivers in average annual value -- could look like a slight bargain by the end of the season if new quarterback Kirk Cousins and new offensive coordinator John DeFillippo can help the Minnesota offense improve its vertical aspect. Diggs is now signed with the Vikings through 2023, while fellow wide receiver Adam Thielen has a four-year, $19.25 million contract that runs through 2020.

• Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Working with Cousins

  04/25/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Diggs and fellow wideout Adam Thielen traveled to Atlanta in early April to spend time with new Vikings starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. The Vikings made significant changes on offense early in the offseason, luring John DeFilippo away from the Eagles to replace Pat Shurmur as coordinator, then signing Cousins to replace the departed trio of Case Keenum, Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback. The team also lost running back Jerick McKinnon and added receiver Kendall Wright, but retained four of five starters on the offensive line as well as its top three pass-catchers from 2017 (Diggs, Thielen and Kyle Rudolph). Diggs is hoping for a true breakout in the final year of his rookie contract after turning in three seasons that were productive but unspectacular, marked by fast starts followed by mid-season swoons. He did at least bounce back from his slump in 2017, scoring a touchdown in each game Weeks 15 through 17, then catching 14 of 22 targets for 207 yards and a touchdown in two playoff contests. The 24-year-old should get a few more deep shots in 2018 with Cousins under center.

• Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Grabs eight passes versus Eagles

  01/22/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Diggs caught eight of 12 targets for 70 yards during Sunday's 38-7 loss to the Eagles. Diggs tied for the team lead in targets, but he made just one play longer than 14 yards and wound up averaging just 8.8 yards per catch. The third-year wideout's usage was slightly down during the regular season, but he still managed 849 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns, not to mention his terrific game-winning catch in the NFC divisional round. Diggs has emerged as one of the bright young receivers in the NFL and will look to take another leap in 2018 as he plays out his rookie contract.
