ESPN ran an article Tuesday that identified the “best position groups throughout the league,” using data and grading from analytics site Pro Football Focus.
Of wide receiver groups from all 32 teams, Diggs and Thielen were tabbed as the top tandem because “they did more to help their quarterback as a pair than any one receiver in the league.”
The following was written about the teammates:
Diggs led all receivers in contested catch rate (64.5 percent), while Thielen ranked in the top six, meaning they led the league in contested catch rate as a duo.
