Mike Evans vs Stefon Diggs: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Mike Evans and Stefon Diggs is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.2 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Mike Evans averaged 8.7 PPG with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers across 8 games, and Stefon Diggs posted 9.9 with the New England Patriots in 17.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Target volume is the story here. Stefon Diggs saw 102 targets in 2025, while Mike Evans drew 62. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Stefon Diggs, even in weeks where Mike Evans posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Mike Evans has his bye in Week 10, and Stefon Diggs rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
