The Patriots have signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Dynasty Analysis
Diggs did just fine in free agency, inking a three-year deal worth up to $69 million with $26 million guaranteed. The $26 million in guaranteed money matches that of Davante Adams for the most this off-season for a receiver. The total value is $24 million more than Cooper Kupp received and $25 million more than Adams. In other words, Diggs got his money. There were few places better to land for a receiver than New England, so dynasty managers should breathe easy. Still, Diggs is coming off a torn ACL and should be treated more as a WR2 than WR1 at this point in his career. His ADP should stabilize with the move, however.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs is not expected back with the Texans.
Dynasty Analysis
Diggs was supposed to make a big impact with the Texans this season but tore his ACL instead, ending his season way too early. He ended the season with 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns, putting his long and short-term future in doubt as a player in doubt as he's now 31 years old. It seems he'll be looking for a new team as a first-time free agent but the market for players of his age coming off ACL injuries is typically pretty tepid. Diggs' dynasty value is starting to fall pretty dramatically.
