Predicting production: Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs

It’s been a little over a month since the Houston Texans acquired All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills, and it’s time to predict his production.

Diggs has been one of the best players in football over the past few years regardless of position, and he will likely continue to dominate with rookie sensation CJ Stroud at quarterback.

Houston already has two very good starting receivers on the roster in Nico Collins and Tank Dell. Collins was extremely productive in 2023, catching 80 passes for 1,297 yards and eight touchdowns, shattering his previous records. Dell was also very productive as a rookie before being lost for the season due to a broken fibula, catching 47 passes for 709 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Texans now have plenty of weapons for Stroud and a ton of mouths to feed, and it remains to be seen who will be the primary target. Diggs is undoubtedly still a very good football player, catching 107 passes for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023.

In 2022, Diggs has 1,400 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns, meaning he still has plenty left in the tank. If Diggs ends up being Stroud’s clear favorite in 2024, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the veteran have a similar season to 2022.

If Diggs isn’t the clear favorite over Stroud, and it’s more of a shot in the dark as to who will get the bulk of the targets each week, Diggs’ production could take a slight hit .

FINAL STAT PREDICTION: 100 RECEPTIONS / 1,200 YARDS / 10 TOUCHDOWNS

Diggs has been extremely durable throughout his career, so it appears he will be able to continue his streak of six straight years of over 1,000 yards, dating back to his Minnesota Vikings days.

The Texans’ top three receivers all have the talent to pass for over 1,000 yards in 2024, and would be the first trio to do so since the Arizona Cardinals in 2008.
