Stefon Diggs Embraces Reduced Role as Patriots Tinker With Receiver Usage

Vrabel is dressing five receivers each week, leaving rookie Efton Chism inactive through three games.

Overview

  • DIGGS HAS 13 catches on 15 targets for roughly 112–115 yards while playing about 54% of offensive snaps in his return from ACL surgery.
  • The head coach says packages will vary week to week and does not expect any receiver to play 90% of the snaps.
  • The five primary wideouts have combined for 35 receptions, 330 yards and three touchdowns through three games.
  • Drake Maye said he told Diggs he needs to get him the ball more, praising the veteran for key situational catches.
  • Efton Chism remains a weekly inactive as Kyle Williams has logged about 12.7% of snaps with two catches for 20 yards and DeMario Douglas has struggled for 13 yards on 13 targets.
