Fantasy Football: One Wide Receiver to Target in Each Round of Your Draft

Round 5: Stefon Diggs, Minnesota Vikings

Average Draft Position: 5.11 (WR28)

Stefon Diggs was a lot better last season than you probably remember.

He finished as merely the PPR WR30, but missed three games. When you go by PPR points per game, his 14.9 clip checked in 14th among wideouts who played at least eight games. And he did that despite scoring just 3 touchdowns when our metrics say he should have scored 5.8 touchdowns.

Diggs flashed enticing weekly upside a year ago, posting four standard-league WR1 (top-12) weeks, including being the top overall wideout in Week 2. Diggs had more WR1 weeks than Demaryius Thomas (3), Davante Adams (2) and DeAndre Hopkins (1) -- all of whom are going significantly earlier than him.

Oh, and there's this: the Minnesota Vikings, per our numbers, have the easiest passing-game schedule in 2017.

Simply put -- Diggs is too good not to draft at this price. He was the PPR WR14 in points per game last year, and he has a mouth-watering schedule. There's a very real chance he breaks out in a big way this season.
