5 Bills players the Carolina Panthers must keep quiet in Week 15
By Jason Huber
Stefon Diggs – WR
The Carolina Panthers secondary struggled last week without Donte Jackson. On Sunday, they’ll have a tough matchup with Stefon Diggs, who is one of the league’s best receivers.
Diggs has struggled with consistency this season, putting together just two 100-plus yard receiving games. But he still gets his fair share of receptions and averages 12.5 yards per catch.
With seven touchdowns on the season, Diggs is Josh Allen’s number one receiving option and it seems likely that Carolina cornerback Stephon Gilmore will be the one matched up against him.
Gilmore seems to finally be getting back to full health and after the Panthers secondary dropped a few potential interceptions last week, the South Carolina product is looking for a bounce-back game.
Diggs is just 28 away from his fourth-straight 1,000-yard receiving season and he’ll certainly be looking to hit that mark this week. This has come from his time in Buffalo and when the wideout rose to prominence on the Minnesota Vikings.
Buffalo’s second wide receiver, Emmanuel Sanders missed last week with an injury and might be out again this game, so Diggs is sure to generate a substantial amount of targets in Week 15.
