Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs burst onto the scene with four dominant games spanning from Week 4 through Week 8, but has hit a brick wall, at least statistically, ever since.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 14: Stefon Diggs
The Vikings’ electric rookie has hit a wall in terms of his production. We break down the fantasy implications.

Part of that is due to the Vikings' ability to run the ball successfully with Adrian Peterson, leading to a run-heavy game plan, and it also has to do with poor matchups at hand. Diggs caught just two passes for 22 yards and ran once for a six-yard loss against a resurgent Seahawks defense, and his 16 total yards is his lowest single-game total since entering the lineup as a starter.
Fantasy impact: Diggs has likely peaked for fantasy owners in 2015, but it doesn't mean he is devoid of fantasy value in dynasty leagues. He has shown serious playmaking ability that will benefit Teddy Bridgewater for years to come, but Week 14 does not provide much upside as the Vikings will face another dominant defense in the Arizona Cardinals. Since bursting out of the gate, Diggs has not eclipsed 66 receiving yards in a game since Week 9, nor has he found the end zone.
Diggs would be a risky WR3 to pen into fantasy lineups on Thursday night, and owners would be wise to continue to look for other options if available.
