Stefon Diggs was coming on strong, seeing nine or more targets in four straight weeks. But he has since faltered, catching four of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday’s win over the Falcons — his lowest yardage production for the season. The rookie has now failed to reach 50 yards receiving in three of the past four weeks.
This week he goes up against the Seahawks’ secondary, which includes cornerback Richard Sherman and safety Earl Thomas.
Steelers’ quarterbacks targeted Antonio Brown nine times on Sunday while Sherman was in primary coverage, completing just three passes for 24 yards. Brown, one of the most dynamic receivers in the game, was held to a total of 51 receiving yards and 5.1 fantasy points.
Diggs will likely draw most of the attention this week as the Vikings’ top receiver, and with Sherman (73.3 passer rating against, one interception) and Thomas (0.47 yards per cover snap with three interceptions) out there waiting, it will be another poor performance for Diggs.
