Stefon Diggs Agrees to One-Year Deal with Commanders

What happened

Free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs has agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth up to $12 million with the Washington Commanders, according to multiple reports including sources told to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 32-year-old, a Maryland native and former Maryland Terrapin, will join the team after being released by the New England Patriots in March. Diggs posted 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 with the Patriots.

Fantasy impact

Diggs immediately becomes a viable WR2/FLEX option in a productive Commanders offense led by Jayden Daniels. The signing solidifies a starting role opposite Terry McLaurin and reduces the target share available to Treylon Burks, Antonio Williams, and other secondary options. Managers should adjust McLaurin's projection slightly downward while elevating Diggs into the mid-to-late WR2 range in standard redraft formats.
