Start: Stefon Diggs, Minnesota Vikings

vs. New Orleans Saints

The Minnesota Vikings are finding that they have needed their offense more than expected. Their defense has had some issues this year which has put more pressure on Kirk Cousins and company to produce.

So far, they have been up to the challenge. A lot of that has to do with the two headed receiving monster of Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen.

While Thielen has been the more productive player, Diggs is also having himself a strong season. The key has been his health and the fact he has been able to stay on the field. Diggs has often had to fight through nagging injuries.

This week the Vikings take on a New Orleans Saints defense that is allowing nearly 300 passing yards per game. There will be plenty of opportunities for both Diggs and Thielen to pad their stats.

Sit: Odell Beckham Jr., New York Giants

vs. Washington Redskins

Odell Beckham Jr. is having a rough season and has let his frustration get the best of him on multiple occasions. He is having a hard time dealing with the New York Giants losing and the fact he isn’t getting enough targets.

This week he faces a Washington Redskins secondary that is playing better than expected. He also will have to deal with the antagonizing nature of cornerback Josh Norman. We could again see Beckham’s emotions get the best of him.
