Stefon Diggs will not practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, according to Underdog NFL.

What happened

Diggs was ruled out of Thursday’s practice, the report said. The Washington receiver was also a non-participant at Wednesday’s practice with the same hamstring issue, according to a report from earlier this week.

Context

Diggs has played four games this season for Washington and has 53.0 PPR points, 31 targets, 18 receptions, 170 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. He is coming off an 8.5 PPR performance in Week 4 with five receptions for 35 yards on nine targets.

Sleeper currently tags Diggs as questionable because of the hamstring.

Depth chart

The Commanders list Terry McLaurin as their top wide receiver. He has 42.3 PPR points on 26 targets with 14 receptions for 203 yards and one touchdown this season.

Diggs is second on the depth chart. Antonio Williams is third with 36.5 PPR points on 22 targets in five games.

What’s next

Washington plays the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night in Week 6.

Stefon Diggs (hamstring) won't practice Thursday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Diggs has been Washington’s most productive fantasy receiver through five weeks with 53.0 PPR points, but the missed practices put his Monday night status in doubt. He carries a 10.5 PPR projection for Week 6, but managers should prepare a backup plan.

Terry McLaurin (42.3 PPR) would remain the top option, while Antonio Williams (36.5 PPR) and Treylon Burks (25.6 PPR) could see more targets if Diggs sits. None of those alternatives have the same target volume as Diggs, who has 31 targets in four games.
