It will be difficult for Stefon Diggs to put on an even better performance this season than he did in 2020. The star wideout led the league in receptions and yards last season, establishing himself as one of Josh Allen’s favorite targets — and one of the most dynamic receivers in the NFL.
But Dan Hanzus of NFL.com thinks Diggs could be even better in his sophomore campaign with the Buffalo Bills. In a new column, he predicts Diggs will be the team's MVP in 2021.
“It only took one season for Stefon Diggs to make a strong case as the centerpiece of the Greatest Trade In Bills History,” Hanzus wrote. “You can make an argument that Diggs is football’s best wideout, and he returns to an elite offense that brought back its entire core, including fellow MVP candidate Josh Allen. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll loves to air it out, and the unsettled nature of the Bills’ backfield all but ensures Diggs will see something close to the 166 targets funneled his way in 2020.”
Diggs is part of an already elite receiving corps, lining up alongside Cole Beasley, Gabriel Davis and now Emmanuel Sanders. While all four players are immensely talented (especially the first three), it’s hard to imagine them achieving the same success with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Tyrod Taylor under center.
In other words, Allen is the force that makes the offense go. It wouldn’t be possible without him.
