Stefon Diggs Leads the NFL with 285 Receiving Yards

Despite playing with two separate quarterbacks in the first two weeks of the season, Stefon Diggs has more receiving yards than any other player and is only one reception (16) behind Jarvis Landry (17) for the league lead.

He has hauled in 80% of his targets this season and leads all players with 22.95 Target Net Expected Points (NEP), which measures the number of expected points a player accrues on all targets.

Diggs exploded in Week 2 with 9 receptions for 182 yards and a touchdown to lead all receivers with 24.20 fantasy points. And that came against a Green Bay Packers defense that held Allen Robinson to 5 catches for only 75 yards and no scores in Week 1.

This week, Diggs will get a real test against the Carolina Panthers, who haven’t allowed any receiver to reach 60 yards yet this season.
