Diggs caught six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots. Diggs caught a 10-yard touchdown in the third quarter for his fourth overall score through six games with the Texans. His usage wasn't markedly different in the first of at least four games Nico Collins (hamstring) will spend on injured reserve, as Tank Dell (57 yards and a touchdown on nine targets) was the biggest beneficiary of Collins' absence. Diggs has at least six targets in every game this season, and he's likely to reach that threshold again in a Week 7 road game against the Packers.

Diggs caught six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots. Diggs caught a 10-yard touchdown in the third quarter for his fourth overall score through six games with the Texans. His usage wasn't markedly different in the first of at least four games Nico Collins (hamstring) will spend on injured reserve, as Tank Dell (57 yards and a touchdown on nine targets) was the biggest beneficiary of Collins' absence. Diggs has at least six targets in every game this season, and he's likely to reach that threshold again in a Week 7 road game against the Packers.
Diggs is poised to lead Houston's receiving corps for the next four weeks, starting with Sunday's game against the Patriots, as the Texans placed Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday. Diggs has been out-targeted 45-41 by Collins through five games, but Collins has been much more effective with his volume, posting a league-leading 567 receiving yards compared to Diggs' 315. While Diggs' focus on shorter routes will make it tough to replicate Collins' exceptional production, the veteran wide receiver's fantasy stock should nonetheless rise from this development, as Diggs could be in for even more attention from star quarterback C.J. Stroud for the duration of Collins' absence.
Diggs caught six of eight targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills. Diggs finished with the team lead in targets and receiving yards, as Nico Collins exited due to a hamstring injury after turning two targets into 78 yards and a touchdown. While Diggs lacks Collins' downfield explosiveness at this stage of his career, the former Buffalo wide receiver's precise route running and strong hands have helped Diggs rack up 31 catches on 41 targets through five games with Houston, and Diggs could be in line for additional targets from C.J. Stroud in Week 6 against the Patriots if Collins is unavailable.
Diggs caught five of nine targets for 69 yards and took his only carry for a six-yard touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars. The veteran wideout scored his first career rushing TD in the first quarter, taking a designed run to the right before reversing field and darting into the end zone through traffic in the middle of the field. Diggs has been a distant second to Nico Collins so far in terms of target volume, but he's still been productive to begin his first season with Houston, scoring three total touchdowns in four games while adding a 25-233 receiving line on 33 targets. Diggs gets an opportunity at a revenge game Week 5 against the Bills, the team that traded him to the Texans in April.
Diggs caught 10 of 12 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings. The veteran wideout didn't exactly put together a revenge game against the team that drafted him in 2015, but Diggs did lead the Texans in catches, targets and receiving yards on the day. The receptions and targets equaled his totals from the first two games of the season combined, an encouraging sign after Nico Collins dominated C.J. Stroud's attention early. Diggs will look to make a big impact again in Week 4 against the Jaguars.
Diggs caught four of six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears. Going back to last season with the Bills, Diggs has just 633 receiving yards in his last 13 regular-season games. He papered over a 33-yard Texans debut with two touchdown catches, but Diggs barely raised his yardage total in Week 2 while failing to score. Diggs is clearly behind Nico Collins (252 receiving yards through two games) in the wide receiver pecking order heading into a Week 3 road game in Minnesota, where Diggs began his career from 2015 to 2019.
Diggs caught all six of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts. He added six rushing yards on one carry. While Nico Collins remained the top downfield option for C.J. Stroud, Diggs made an immediate impact as a red-zone threat in his debut for the Texans. The former Bill put his new team in the lead for good with a nine-yard score early in the second quarter, then hauled in Houston's final TD of the afternoon with a three-yard grab late in the fourth. Diggs scored at least eight touchdowns in all four of his seasons with Buffalo and has reached that mark six times in total during his career, and it looks like he'll have no trouble doing it again with the Texans in 2024. Diggs will make his home debut for Houston in Week 2 against the Bears.
Diggs caught his only target for nine yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason win over the Giants. He also gained two rushing yards on one carry. The Texans' first-team offense was only on the field for two possessions and came away with zero points, but Diggs was still able to build on his rapport with C.J. Stroud. Houston played both series in 12 personnel, with Diggs and Nico Collins being the two starting wideouts, and that appears as though it might be the team's base package during the regular season. Diggs is coming off a four-year run in Buffalo during which he caught more than 100 passes and topped 1,100 receiving yards in each season, but the 30-year-old will have a lot more competition for targets in Houston.
Diggs wasn't targeted in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over the Steelers. Diggs made his Texans debut as Houston's top offensive starters mixed in for two drives after sitting out the Hall of Fame Game last week. Neither Diggs nor Nico Collins were targeted in this game, while QB C.J. Stroud linked up with Tank Dell for a 34-yard touchdown. All three of Diggs, Collins and Dell figure to play significant roles in Houston's receiving corps come the regular season, but they may continue to be eased in during Houston's next preseason game against the Giants on Aug. 17.
