You can say this much for Stefon Diggs’ season: He is digging a hole for your fantasy team.

He started the year with three straight duds, failing to reach double-digits in fantasy production even in PPR leagues. Many then benched him for a difficult matchup against the Bears in Week 4, only to see him haul in all seven of his targets for 108 yards.

He’s back, we thought. Put him back in! Then last week, another three-catch day in which he scored just 7.4 PPR fantasy points.

We don’t blame this on Diggs. We still consider him a talented wide receiver, still think him capable of producing if given the opportunity. He can again be the top-10 fantasy receiver he was last year, or the top-20 WR he was in 2017. He has that ability.

So what is missing? First is targets. He averaged 6.8 targets per game in 2017, when he finished as the 19th best fantasy receiver. He was 10th last year, thanks to an average of 9.9 targets per game.

This season, he is getting 4.6 passes per game thrown his way. Part of it is the Vikings’ reliance on the running game with a healthy Dalvin Cook. But Diggs still is getting a 20-percent target share. That isn’t quite as much as the 25 percent he received last season, but it is more than the 18 percent he had the year before.

So he is getting a comparable amount of volume in the passing game, it just isn’t resulting in fantasy points. Some of this is quarterback Kirk Cousin’s reluctance to throw downfield. He ranks 25th in the league in total air yards — which trails even Daniel Jones, despite Jones playing two fewer games. Short passes don’t produce as many fantasy points, or as many touchdowns, as long ones.

Yet, we think Diggs can climb out of this hole he has dug. At least this week. The Eagles have the fifth-stingiest defense against fantasy running backs, so the Vikings likely won’t be able to rely so heavily on the running game. That means they will have to pass more.

That is good not just for volume, but also efficiency. Philadelphia is the fifth-most generous defense to opposing fantasy receivers. The Vikings tend to move Diggs around in the formation, lining up at no one spot more than 45 percent of the time, according to Pro Football Focus. So he should be able to get some snaps against Orlando Sandrick, which benefits Diggs.

This is Digg’s rebound week. We just feel it. We can smell it. You dig?
