Diggs' Strong 2025 Stats Despite Challenges
Diggs has shown consistent production in the 2025 regular season, catching 67 passes on 83 targets for 731 yards and three touchdowns. His average of 10.9 yards per reception highlights his efficiency, with a season-long of 33 yards.
Standout games include Week 5 with 10 receptions for 146 yards and Week 12 with 9 catches for 105 yards. However, his snap counts have varied, peaking at 46 in Week 11 before dropping sharply.
The Patriots' offense ranks strongly at 11-3, scoring 382 points while allowing 276, positioning them well in the AFC East ahead of Buffalo at 11-4.
Frustrations Over Reduced Playing Time
In Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills, Diggs played a season-low 26 offensive snaps, prompting questions about his role. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels attributed it to the team's short field time, but Diggs was candid post-game.
'I always want to be out there. I want to make plays and play at a high level,' Diggs stated, acknowledging the depth of skill players on the roster. He described the situation as 'an adjustment' while committing to team success.
This dip follows a trend since Week 11, despite his solid overall stats, fueling speculation on usage in New England's high-powered attack.
Injury Rumors Crushed Ahead of Ravens Game
Ahead of the December 22 matchup with the Ravens, quiet injury rumors surfaced, but Diggs firmly dispelled them. He appeared active in pregame activities, leading the Patriots' team huddle to rally the squad.
Listed as active with no reported issues, Diggs is poised to rebound in this pivotal Week 16 contest. His leadership and on-field impact remain vital for New England's playoff push.
Fans and analysts watch closely as Diggs navigates this adjustment period amid the team's strong standing.
