Stefon Diggs is questionable for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers due to a hamstring injury. He was limited at Friday’s practice, a step forward after missing Thursday’s session.

What happened

Diggs (hamstring) was going through stretching at Friday’s practice, according to RotoWire, citing John Keim of ESPN.com. He was listed as limited for the session, per Underdog NFL and RotoWire. The Commanders have designated him questionable for Monday night’s game.

Context

Diggs has been a key part of Washington’s offense this season. Through five weeks, he has 53.0 PPR points on 31 targets, 18 receptions, 170 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in four games. That’s 13.3 PPR points per game. He has played 59% of the team’s snaps.

In his last three games, Diggs has been inconsistent. He scored 21.7 PPR points in Week 2 with two touchdowns, but followed that with 7.3 points in Week 3 and 8.5 points in Week 4.

Timeline

On Oct. 7, it was reported that Diggs didn’t practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. Terry McLaurin also missed that practice with a hamstring injury.

On Oct. 15, Diggs was again listed as a non-participant at Wednesday’s practice and did not practice Thursday, both due to the hamstring injury.

Today, he was spotted at Friday’s practice going through stretching and was officially limited.

Depth chart

Terry McLaurin is the top receiver on Washington’s depth chart. McLaurin has 42.3 PPR points this season on 26 targets, 14 receptions, 203 yards and a touchdown.

Antonio Williams is the next receiver after Diggs and McLaurin. He has 36.5 PPR points in five games this season on 22 targets and 15 receptions for 155 yards and a touchdown.

Treylon Burks is also questionable with a shoulder injury. He has 25.6 PPR points on 11 targets and five receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns.

What’s next

The Commanders face the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19 in Week 6. The game is on the road.

Stefon Diggs (hamstring) listed questionable for Week 6.

Stefon Diggs (hamstring) limited in practice Friday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Diggs’ limited practice on Friday is an encouraging sign, but his questionable tag means managers should monitor his status before Monday’s game. With Terry McLaurin also questionable, Washington’s receiving corps could be shorthanded. If Diggs plays, he remains a viable flex option given his volume — 31 targets in four games — but his recent production has been down. If he sits, Antonio Williams would be the next man up and could see increased targets, though his production has been modest at 7.3 PPR points per game. Keep Diggs in lineups if he’s active, but have a backup plan ready given the Monday kickoff.
