Vikings declare Stefon Diggs (groin) inactive for Week 5

The Minnesota Vikings declared wide receiver Stefon Diggs (groin) inactive for Week 5 against the Houston Texans.

What It Means:

With the bye next week, the Vikings will give Diggs two weeks to get healthy for the stretch run. Adam Thielen will start in place of Diggs Week 5, and has played plenty of snaps early in the season. While he has yet to see more than five targets in a game, that could change today. Even in a very tough matchup, he is worth a look in deeper formats.

Our algorithms project Thielen for 47 receiving yards and 0.27 touchdowns on 4 receptions. He's our 40th-best receiving option for fantasy purposes this week
