Stefon Diggs secured three of four targets for just 26 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 victory over the Giants on Monday night. Despite Drake Maye's 282 passing yards, Diggs was a minor contributor, marking his fifth game with 46 yards or fewer in the last six, including consecutive sub-30-yard performances. The veteran wideout hopes to resurface in Week 15 against his former Bills teammates following the Week 14 bye.
Hunter Henry led the Patriots' pass catchers in their 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night, securing four of six targets for 73 yards. The veteran tight end co-led the team in receptions and set the pace in receiving yards and targets. He also tied Rhamondre Stevenson for the longest reception of the night with a 36-yard catch. Henry now boasts 187 receiving yards and a touchdown on 11 catches over the last two games, showing excellent chemistry with Drake Maye.
