New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) was limited to individual drills during practice Monday, June 9.

According to former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan, wideout Stefon Diggs (knee) has looked good during OTAs, so much so that he didn't remember the infamous Memorial Day boating video. "I've already forgotten about the boat video. I thought [Diggs] looked great," said Hogan. "It's earlier, I think, than most people expected coming back from an ACL injury. I love the way he's looking running routes and cutting." The veteran will presumably miss time to begin the 2025-26 campaign after tearing his ACL in Week 8 while still a member of the Houston Texans. Although it's still early, it appears Diggs at least has a chance to exceed expectations on a timetable to return, which would undoubtedly be good news for quarterback Drake Maye, who is hoping to improve in his second season in the National Football League.

The New England Patriots have no plans to release wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee), according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Diggs showed up for voluntary organized team activities this week in light of recent negative off-the-field publicity, and the Patriots have high hopes for him this year despite the fact he tore his ACL in Week 8 last year with the Houston Texans. After signing a three-year, $69 million deal in free agency, New England envisions the 31-year-old veteran being the WR1 for second-year quarterback Drake Maye when he's fully healthy. Diggs has been practicing without a brace this offseason and appears to be on track in his recovery from a torn ACL. On the wrong side and coming off major knee surgery, Diggs probably won't be all that explosive deep down the field with the Pats, but he could still be valuable as an every-week fantasy starter on volume as Maye's go-to aerial target.

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs is not in danger of being released this offseason.

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) did not participate in team drills during practice Monday, June 2.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) is present for voluntary organized team activities on Monday, according to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. There were some rumors over the weekend that the Patriots have been considering cutting Diggs because of some off-field issues, but that's all just speculation. On top of it, the 31-year-old veteran is recovering from a torn right ACL that he suffered on Oct. 27 of last year. There's a chance that Diggs isn't ready to go for the start of his first season in New England, but he was practicing without a brace on his surgically repaired knee last week at OTAs. Diggs' fantasy football situation is volatile right now, to put it mildly, as he could begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform if he's still on the team by then. Eventually, he's expected to be the WR1 for second-year quarterback Drake Maye if he remains on the team.

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) reported to organized team activities Monday, June 2.

The New England Patriots are considering releasing WR Stefon Diggs, according to Scott Zolak of 98.5 The Sports Hub. On Wednesday, May 28, a video surfaced of Diggs partying on a yacht during Memorial Day weekend with an unidentified pink substance in his possession while surrounded by three women. Zolak claims that the viral video is not the only reason why the organization is considering cutting ties with him, although he did not elaborate on other possible reasons.

According to Scott Zolak of 98.5 The Sports Hub, a Boston radio station, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) may not be a lock to remain on the roster. "I came to this show yesterday with the opinion -- not opinion, but the knowledge that it is on the table," Zolak stated during a recent show regarding the possibility of Diggs getting released. "That it is being thought of. And it's not just the boat. There are some other things that I've heard that put some things in question." The 31-year-old agreed to a three-year, $69 million contract in March after amassing 46 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns with the Texans in 2024-25. Unfortunately, his first season in Houston was cut short after he tore his ACL in the Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It's important for fantasy managers to remember that things might not be set in stone, so there is no reason to sound the alarm. If Diggs continues making progress regarding his rehab efforts, there's hope he'll be on the field by Week 4. His presence would undoubtedly be good for second-year signal-caller Drake Maye. But if Diggs gets his walking papers, players like Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Kyle Williams, and DeMario Douglas will have a better chance to climb the depth chart.

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) was absent from voluntary organized team activity, Wednesday, May 28, one day after a video of him surfaced on social media in which he was on a boat and flashed an unidentified pink substance while surrounded by three women. 'It's something we're aware of and obviously we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' head coach Mike Vrabel said. '... Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.'

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) could 'maybe reasonably' make his debut around Week 4, in the opinion of The Athletic's Chad Graff, who writes that Diggs' recovery and return to form will be essential for QB Drake Maye to take the next step. Diggs is recovering from a torn ACL suffered on Oct. 27, 2024.

The Athletic's Chad Graff speculates that New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) could be reasonably ready to make his 2025 debut in Week 4 in a best-case scenario. When Diggs is fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 8 last year with the Houston Texans, he'll be a reliable top target for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. The 31-year-old Diggs probably isn't the All-Pro he was earlier in his career, but he's just two years removed from 1,183 receiving yards with the Buffalo Bills. Graff also discusses the possibility that Diggs deals with nagging effects from his ACL tear and doesn't look like the same receiver at all. Working with Maye makes Diggs intriguing as a bounce-back candidate, but it all hinges on his health and how productive he can be following the serious knee injury. In fantasy, he'll be a pretty big dice roll.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) is taking part in OTAs this week without wearing a brace on his surgically-repaired right knee. In his lone season with the Houston Texans in 2024, Diggs only played in eight games before tearing his right ACL on Oct. 27. The 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher was on his way to a big season before the season-ending injury, catching 47 of 64 targets for 496 yards and three touchdowns. Barring a setback with his knee during offseason workouts and training camp this summer, it looks like Diggs should be 100% ready to go for Week 1 of the 2025 season. Diggs will be the team's unquestioned WR1 after signing a three-year, $63.5 million deal in free agency, and he'll have second-year QB Drake Maye throwing him the pigskin. There's plenty of skepticism about Diggs coming off a major knee injury in fantasy. His floor and ceiling will be lower, but he could make up for it with volume in PPR setups.

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs could receive some work as the slot receiver this upcoming season, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Mike Reiss.

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Texans) officially signed his three-year contract worth a reported $69 million on Friday, March 28.

Free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) reached an agreement with the New England Patriots on Tuesday on a three-year, $69 million contract that includes $26 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. Diggs, who tore his ACL with the Houston Texans in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts last year, is on track to return for Week 1 of the upcoming 2025 season. It's a big reason why the Patriots were comfortable giving the 31-year-old veteran a three-year, $69 million contract. Before his injury last year, Diggs put up 47 receptions on 64 targets for 496 yards and three touchdowns for Houston. In New England (if healthy), he'll be second-year quarterback Drake Maye's unquestioned top wideout, giving him a chance to bounce back in fantasy as a risk/reward WR2. Diggs' fantasy stock will be in flux this summer until he proves he's indeed ready to go without restrictions heading into Week 1.

Dynasty | The Patriots have signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Dynasty Analysis: Diggs did just fine in free agency, inking a three-year deal worth up to $69 million with $26 million guaranteed. The $26 million in guaranteed money matches that of Davante Adams for the most this off-season for a receiver. The total value is $24 million more than Cooper Kupp received and $25 million more than Adams. In other words, Diggs got his money. There were few places better to land for a receiver than New England, so dynasty managers should breathe easy. Still, Diggs is coming off a torn ACL and should be treated more as a WR2 than WR1 at this point in his career. His ADP should stabilize with the move, however.

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Texans) agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the New England Patriots Tuesday, March 25, worth $69 million, according to sources. The deal includes $26 million in guaranteed money.
