3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in Week 17
Stefon Diggs, WR, Minnesota Vikings
FanDuel Salary: $6,000
Stefon Diggs has disappeared lately. Over his first 10 games, he averaged 9.6 targets per contest, getting less than seven looks just once. In the past three games, he's been targets 5, 5 and 6 times, respectively, becoming an afterthought for the Minnesota Vikings.
With a drop in volume, his production has dipped. Here's a look at Diggs' last five games.
Opponent | Targets | Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns | FanDuel Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cardinals | 7 | 6 | 37 | 0 | 6.7 |
Cowboys | 8 | 8 | 59 | 0 | 9.9 |
Jaguars | 5 | 3 | 55 | 0 | 7 |
Colts | 5 | 2 | 13 | 0 | 2.3 |
Packers | 6 | 4 | 29 | 1 | 10.9 |
His matchup at home against the Chicago Bears is a decent one, but Vegas has assigned this game a meager 41-point over/under with Minnesota's implied total at 23. Investing in Diggs now, even at an attractive cost, is a blind leap of faith.
