Re: Thoughts on Jeremy Hill?
Do not trade Diggs. Dude is going to be big. The best attribute he has is he’s a perfectionist. On his finger tip diving TD catch he had some criticism on the play… but on a misplay from him. He said he didn’t bust out of his cut like he should have, but instead looked back to early at the throw slowing him down a touch.
It was so slight of a look I couldn’t pause it on youtube to catch the instance where he glanced back.
His route running is ridiculous. He doesn’t slow down unless he wants to on breaks. He’s fast (but not a straight line burner tho) but his lateral movement is absolutely insane where he turns former 1st round Corners around (KC Marcus Peters couldn’t keep him down in week 7).
He can adjust too to a “bad” throw. The catch and TD run he had vs the Bears, right before Bridgewater throws it, Diggs calls for the ball to be thrown to the inside of the field (his running path). Bridgewater throws what would have been behind any other receiver, but Diggs being able to stop so fast, stops, adjusts to the throw, catches it, and turns to run down the sideline. That play you can see his 0-top speed is hit so quickly on that run that the live play view has NO ONE in the shot besides him at one point.
Only reason why he is so undervalued right now, and to start the season is because he broke his leg in 2013, and had suffered a kidney laceration in 2014. That dropped his draft stock where the Vikings drafted him at 146th.
I would be holding onto Diggs for sure. Only leagues where I would consider trading him would be if you had 3 other WR better than him, and needed RB help badly. If it’s a keeper league, nothing should be taken in a trade for him besides some top end talent. Think OBJr or Antonio Brown ceiling.
