The Minnesota Vikings only had one player appear on the Pro Football Focus preseason week 2 Team of the Week: Wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

During week 2 of the preseason, the Minnesota Vikings traveled to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. While much of the focus from that game was placed on former players or the team’s loss, there was an excellent performance that deserves mentioning.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs put together an excellent game. He may have failed to reach the end zone, but he caught 4 passes for 65 yards during the contest and showed why he is one of the most dangerous pass catchers in the NFL.

Pro Football Focus took notice of his efforts on the field, giving him a spot on their Preseason Week 2 – Team of the Week as shared on the their official website:

“Diggs’ 5.91 yards per route run wasn’t far behind (Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Dede) Westbrook, and he finished the week fourth in the category. He snatched 4-of-5 balls sent his way, totaling 65 receiving yards on just 11 snaps in route.”

Diggs was the 4th highest rated player on offense for the PFF Preseason Week 2 – Team of the Week, behind only Westbrook, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Jojo Natson, and Cowboys offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper.

Sadly, no defenders from Minnesota made the list. Last week, there were two rookies from the team’s defense included on the PFF team, but there are hopes at least some members of the Vikings defense will appear on next week’s team.

Stefon Diggs is one of the Minnesota Vikings starting receivers and will likely see at least a quarter of action in the team’s third preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, August 27, 2017
