Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Week, the team announced Wednesday.

Diggs caught nine passes for an NFL-high 182 yards and a touchdown in Minnesota's 17-14 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The 22-year-old leads the NFL in receiving yards with 285 after two weeks.

Diggs is just the third Vikings player to post back-to-back 100-yard receiving games in Weeks 1 and 2 and the first to accomplish the feat in nearly 20 years. His 182 receiving yards was the second-highest single-game total in team history, behind only Randy Moss' 190 on Oct. 5, 1998.

The Vikings selected Diggs in the fifth round of the 2015 draft out of Maryland. He led the team in receptions (52) and receiving yards (720) last season.
