Patriots Sign WR Stefon Diggs to 3-Year, $69M Deal

After sitting out the Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, and Tee Higgins sweepstakes (and causing Drake Maye’s fantasy managers to pull their hair out a bit with their inaction on the offensive side of the ball), the Patriots finally land Drake Maye a true WR1. It’s much needed help in a receiving room that featured only names like DeMario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, and Kayshon Boutte, and Diggs will almost certainly assume the role of WR1 as soon as he hits the field in 2025. Of course, he’s still in the process of recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in Week 8 of 2024, but recent reports have indicated that he‘s got a realistic shot at being ready for Week 1 of 2025. As soon as he’s available, he’ll slot in as a likely fantasy WR2 with WR1 upside catching passes from Drake Maye, who was very productive last season despite having very limited weapons and a less than ideal coaching situation. Diggs’ current draft ADP is likely as deflated as it will be all offseason, so take advantage of his price while it’s still low in your early offseason contests.
