Stefon Diggs injury update: How to handle Vikings WR vs. Packers
Stefon Diggs’ big season hits a detour.

It’s a tough break for Diggs, who suffered a groin injury in a Week 5 win over the Chicago Bears early in the game, then tried to return on several occasions, but was ineffective for most of the night. He finished with a season-low one catch for four yards.
Diggs was putting up WR1 numbers before the setback. He caught 13 balls for 271 yards in the two games prior to the injury. He’s also been producing with two different quarterback, as Case Keenum has been filling in for the injured Sam Bradford.
The hope is this isn’t the kind of groin injury that will linger throughout the season.
Fantasy Impact: With Diggs out, the Vikings will be relying heavily on Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph to carry the passing game. The Packers are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
