CBS Sports tossed out their top-10 wide receivers in the NFL. The top man for the Buffalo Bills makes an appearance.
Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was named the outlet’s fifth-best wideout in the league. Diggs was slotted there based on his full, all-around abilities as a playmaker. Not just for one thing in particular.
Here’s the analysis on Diggs:
After five years as the swaggering star of the Vikings’ WR room, Diggs has become an even more complete target as Josh Allen’s favorite outlet. He simply does everything well. The speed element is still there, making him a sturdy candidate to haul in Allen’s rocket launches, but he really wins off the line and in his breaks, mastering his routes and maintaining reliable hands. As he inches closer to 30, he might rely even more on possession skills, but in Buffalo’s deep, explosive offense, that’s hardly a bad thing.
Not only is Diggs good, right on cue, Buffalo’s front office has followed his positive efforts up with a smart play. The Bills signed Diggs to a four-year extension earlier this offseason.
Easy to assume CBS Sports would think that’s a smart investment.
Speaking of, on their list, only four ranked higher than Diggs. Who?
That list:
- 4. Cooper Kupp (Rams)
- 3. Ja’Marr Chase (Bengals)
- 2. Justin Jefferson (Vikings)
- 1. Devante Adams (Raiders)
