4. Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills (vs. NO)

Since returning from his Week 7 bye, Stefon Diggs has been the WR6 in PPR leagues. This is where fantasy players expected him to be all season, but he’s finally there. He and Josh Allen have clicked very similar to last season and it’s paying off huge for fantasy managers that held on to him.

Diggs and the Bills get a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the reeling Las Vegas Raiders, who are the 29th-ranked pass defense and are in a pretty bad slump. The Bills will be looking to rebound from an absolute beating they took from the Colts, and this is a perfect get-right game for this electric offense.

Diggs should finish as one of the top receivers this week and is a solid WR2 with top-five upside at his position. His target volume alone weekly keeps him as a solid receiving option, but he gets a sizeable boost due to an exploitable matchup.
