Vikings WR Stefon Diggs getting first team reps, unsure if he'll start in Week 7

Oct 22, 2015

Vikings rookie wide receiver Stefon Diggs got his first career start last weekend against Kansas City. He might not be leaving the lineup anytime soon.

Diggs said Thursday he is getting work with the first team this week in practice. Diggs, though, said he has yet to be told he definitely will start Sunday at Detroit.

Charles Johnson has returned to practice this week and plans to play against the Lions. However, it’s expected Diggs will end up getting the starting nod Sunday.

“I’ve got an idea,’’ Zimmer said Thursday. “There’s no sense in telling everybody.’’

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson may return, but it appears that he has lost his job to Diggs, who has 13-216 in the last two games. Johnson has just six catches for 46 yards through three weeks, but was injured early in Week 3.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
