Stefon Diggs' Uncertain Future with the Texans in 2024
Transcript
00:00Stephon digs in new digs as a wide receiver to avoid.
00:09Well I think we always do this to ourselves right where we see guys that are very familiar
00:14to all of us right now, Stephon digs, I've drafted him a bunch.
00:17Okay.
00:18He's with the Texas now.
00:19Okay.
00:20Sure.
00:21Whatever.
00:22I have had Stephon digs and I've gone to the playoffs and won championships.
00:23Well, it's not 2019 anymore.
00:26I mean this is a different era that we're in and I think that we have to look at it
00:29seriously and say, it's not so much hating on Stephon digs is where is he going in ADP
00:35and what does that offense look like with Stephon digs?
00:37And the answer is just like the Keon Coleman answer.
00:40We don't know.
00:41I don't know.
00:42You don't know.
00:43Stop pretending that you do.
00:44All you can do is look at it and say on this board, there's well, there's upside right
00:51there.
00:52There's there's star potential because he's been a star.
00:54Can you go here and take a star there?
00:56Maybe.
00:57I feel like Deandre Hopkins leaving the Houston Texans a couple years ago and going to a situation
01:02where he was the alpha wide receiver with Kyler Murray in the Arizona Cardinals.
01:07He's not the alpha here.
01:08It's Niko Collins folks.
01:10And if you don't think it's Niko Collins, go back and look at the stats from last year.
01:13It's Niko Collins.
01:14So Stephon digs is there to help out, hopefully not cause a problem, which has also been kind
01:18of his mo too.
01:20He's been a big diva kind of wide receiver guy, demanding the football.
01:22A lot of those guys do that.
01:24What impact is that going to have on a guy like CJ Stroud is a young quarterback and
01:28very impressionable.
01:29There's a lot of questions there for me.
01:30So the biggest question is where he's being drafted.
01:33And currently when you're looking at the Stephon digs, 80 P's at wide receiver 20 in unique
01:38situation where Cooper cup, Stephon digs DK Metcalf, right?
01:43That's kind of your one, two, three and 80 P in that grouping.
01:46Now Cooper cup has more upside by far than Stephon digs, in my opinion, because of the
01:50offense and the structure he's working in.
01:53And I know he's got a ton of risk.
01:55Let's not pretend like Stephon digs doesn't have risk either.
01:58If you want to just pivot away from him and go one step below DK Metcalf might not have
02:03maybe the upside of the other two, but certainly the safer floor.
02:06So for me, I think at the end of the day, with that wide receiver two slash three spot
02:10that you're looking at drafting Stephon digs, I'd rather have DK Metcalf and just kind of
02:15call it a day, depending on who my number one or number two was and how the structure
02:19of my roster is.
02:20Again, digs is not a sure thing.
02:22We need to stop thinking about him as that.
02:23And the biggest trap that people fall into the casual fantasy manager is, Oh, I'm familiar
02:28with Stephon digs.
02:29I know what he is.
02:30No, no, no.
02:31You know what he was.
02:33That's the difference.
