5 Historical Vegas Trends You Should Know for Week 8

Play Diggs with a High Total

Stefon Diggs is unquestionably the second receiver on this team, much to the dismay of his truthers. But that hasn't kept him from scoring fantasy points. He's hit 15 points in half of his games and has a 30-point game on his resume.

This week, his matchup with the New Orleans Saints is expected to feature an inordinate amount of points, as it currently has a 51.5-point total. This may work in Diggs' favor as he's been historically successful in games with lofty totals.

The Saints' defense is also giving up a league-high in points to opposing receivers. Adam Thielen is the better bet to score more points, but Diggs is still in a great spot, and should he go off, he'll be a great pivot from his more popular teammate.
