Giant WRs Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton (hamstring) week to week

Adam Schefter

On Monday Night Countdown, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Giants WRs Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton are week to week with hamstring issues.

Related players: Kenny Golladay, Collin Johnson, Kadarius Toney

Fantasy Impact:

Both players left in the first half. Shepard came into the game as the team's leading receiver and was likely a popular waiver pickup heading into Week 3. Golladay led the way in Week 3 with a 4-64-0 line on five targets. Johnson had a 5-51-0 line with seven targets. Surprisingly, the rookie first round pick Toney only had three targets and finished with a 2-16-0 line.

Giants lose two receivers during Week 3

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton have both been ruled out for for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Falcons with hamstring injuries.

Fantasy Impact:

The silver lining is rookie Kadarius Toney seems to finding his groove a bit in the Giants’ offense and is really going to have to step up if Shepard and Slayton both have to miss time. Kenny Golladay and C.J. Board will be other options as well for the time being.

Giants still feel good about WR Kadarius Toney

Giants GM Dave Getleman on the erratic start to camp for rookie WR Kadarius Toney: "It doesn’t make us any less enthused about him. The kid’s a tremendous talent."

Fantasy Impact:

Toney has got off to a slow start in camp, missing time after being on the COVID-19 list. But even when he was on the field, he didn't stand out according to many other reports. He's also missed time with an undisclosed injury. The critics have been saying he's spent more time with trainers than on the field. With Shepard, Slayton and Golladay in the fold, Toney may struggle for snaps.

Slayton: Chemistry with Daniel Jones is 'natural'

Pat Leonard - New York Daily News

Aug 11, 2021 · 12:27 PM EDT

Giants WR Darius Slayton told reporters that he and QB Daniel Jones has natural chemistry and see the game the same way according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News.

"Slayton flies under the radar right now as a key part of this offense, even if his role will be different with more bodies at the position," Leonard tweeted.

Fantasy Impact:

The third-year receiver accumulated 11 more receiving yards than his rookie season, but averaged six fewer yards per game. It is unknown how targets will be distributed with the arrivals of Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, but a strong connection is valuable between a receiver and quarterback. Slayton is John Paulsen's WR81, 17 spots ahead of Toney and 26 spots behind Sterling Shepard.
