‘Although Diggs hasn’t put up huge numbers, there have been positives for the offense the last four games, three of which have come under interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who took over for Ken Dorsey after the loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Other players on the offense have stepped up during that time. Gabe Davis had a big game against the Philadelphia Eagles. James Cook was huge against the Kansas City Chiefs. Khalil Shakir had 115 receiving yards against the Jets. Dalton Kincaid had 10 catches against the Cincinnati Bengals.’
