Stefon Diggs’ candidness is truly admirable. While NFL players often become exasperated when fans criticize them regarding gambling and fantasy football, Stefon Diggs, the standout Buffalo Bills player, seems to possess a unique perspective among his peers.
Diggs genuinely empathizes with those who include him in their fantasy teams and those who stake their money on him and the Bills. In a recent statement, the Pro Bowl wide receiver shared his somewhat unexpected viewpoint on the matter, saying, “I’ll be honest; I do feel a little remorse when I mess up your parlay or fantasy. But believe me, it’s not because I’m not doing my utmost to make it happen for you.”
Contrast this with what Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson tweeted about fantasy football and gambling just last week:
Diggs has consistently delivered exceptional fantasy football performances for several seasons, and this year is no exception. Even in Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots, where he had a relatively quiet game by his own standards, with “only” 6 catches for 58 yards and a touchdown, Diggs has accumulated impressive statistics of 55 catches for 678 yards and 5 touchdowns this season.

The Bills may have certainly upset numerous parlays on Sunday, as they were favored by 7.5 points against the Patriots. Not only did they fail to cover the spread, but they also suffered an outright loss. Consequently, anyone who placed bets on them to cover the spread or with favorable odds on the moneyline would have experienced a disappointing outcome.
It’s evident that Diggs despises losing, which is why he occasionally faces criticism for his behavior on the sidelines. Evidently, he despises losing for others as well.
If you’re considering placing a bet, Diggs should undoubtedly be your top choice.
