Stefon Diggs has an ADP of 64 (WR26) according to @FantasyPros

He was used in a completely different fashion in 2019 than the rest of his career. Let's take a look at why I think he's being undervalued in 2020.

His YPR jumped from 11.6 to 17.9 and his YPT from 7.9 to 12. Despite this change, his catch rate remained stable dipping to 67% down from his career 68.8% prior to 2019.

Now we know Josh Allen is #notgood. Hat tip to @Ihartitz for this good stuff:
But he was still able to make Smokey Brown a thing last year.

Brown finished as the WR20 OVR and the WR24 on a PPG basis. His aDOT was 14.7 ( @AirYards). Both better than Diggs.
Diggs aDOT was 15.1. He was #good last year downfield. Vikings probably should have thrown more... I digress.

Minnesota ranked 30th in pass to run ratio in neutral or positive gamescript.
Buffalo ranked 26th, throwing on 49% of their plays. They remained 26th in negative gamescript situations but their pass rate increased by 14%.
I expect a few more pass attempts in 2020.

The Bills finished 6th in @fboutsiders defensive DVOA, but they also had a cake walk of a schedule. Per @SharpFootball, ranking 2nd in Strength of Schedule for Offensive Efficiency.
It's not a murderers row, but their schedule should be tougher in 2020. Sharp has them at 18th right now.
Stefon Diggs is an elite talent. We have seen him be used in different ways throughout his career, although I believe he will be used like he was in 2019 in Buffalo. It fits with their team identity.
We should be seeing more of this.

Allen was 14th in Airyards, but just 26th in dropbacks. Brown accounted for 1,688 air yards - 7th in the NFL.
The Bills gave up a haul to acquire Diggs, who was deployed in a similar way to Brown last year. He was just better, with less.

Oh, and he takes handoffs too.
He might not reach WR1 status on the season, but you can be sure he will have some WR1 weeks. Opening the 6th round with Stefon Diggs should be a felony.
