Fadil Diggs

Fadil Diggs enters Year 2 at age 24 as the primary rotational defensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints in a zone-heavy multiple scheme. He logged 12.5% of defensive snaps in 2025, a stable usage trend despite a Week 4 spike to 22.0%. Diggs’ Dynasty Score ranks #315 at the position, indicating a speculative asset for contending rosters.

Diggs logs 12.5% of New Orleans’ defensive snaps in a zone-heavy scheme under Brandon Staley. The 2025 baseline — 0 pressures and 0 hurries on 12.5% snap share — shows a defensive role without pass-rushing upside. A stable snap share and scheme context drive the DL2 profile.

Diggs participated in full practices across every reported injury check in 2025, logging 17 games with 12.5% defensive snap share. Zone-heavy schemes tend to have fewer injury risks than edge-rushing heavy systems, and Diggs’ rotational role reduces contact exposure.

New Orleans’ defensive scheme brings zone coverage as the primary coverage type, which stabilizes Diggs’ defensive role and snap share. Brandon Staley’s multiple defense does not create edge-rushing opportunities for the defensive lineman. The Saints’ 12.5% defensive snap share for Diggs remains unchanged from 2025.

The Saints’ zone-heavy scheme under Brandon Staley and Doug Nussmeier’s west coast spread principles does not create a high-pressure environment for Diggs. The defensive lineman’s role in a multiple scheme with zone-heavy coverage stabilizes his snap share and role security.

Stable Diggs’ 2025 snap share trended at 12.5% across 17 games, a stable floor in a rotational role.

Ceiling remains capped at the 2025 baseline of 12.5% snap share and zero pressures/hurries. Floor tracks near the 2025 baseline of 12.5% snap share. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
