NYG WR Darius Slayton - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Detroit Lions

Darius Slayton seems to be the best option in the Giants passing game with at least four targets in three straight games. He’s coming off a three-catch, 95 yards, and a touchdown performance against the Texans last week. However, this offense is hard to trust and four targets isn’t the kind of volume that inspires confidence in fantasy lineups. Against the Lions this week, who rank 21st in aFPA to opposing wide receivers, Slayton is an interesting deep-league option as a WR3. It’s a nice matchup and his recent targets make him at least worth rostering in deeper formats.

NYG WR Darius Slayton - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Houston Texans

Darius Slayton had five catches for 66 yards against the Seahawks before the bye last week. He’s had two straight games with double-digit PPR points, but he’s still attached to a pretty subpar passing offense and will face a tough secondary that ranks ninth in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Also, Kenny Golladay may return to action this week. That might mean nothing, but it also might eat into Slayton’s snaps. Be cautious this week and keep Slayton out of lineups.

NYG WR Darius Slayton - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Seattle Seahawks

Darius Slayton had a nice game against the Jaguars last week, catching three balls for 58 yards and a touchdown. It was his first touchdown of the season and he was second on the team with six targets. While it’s good to see Slayton’s role increasing on the team, he’s too risky to trust in fantasy leagues, especially against a tough Seattle secondary. The Seahawks rank fifth in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. He’s worth a speculative roster addition in deeper leagues, but he should remain on the bench this week.

NYG WR Darius Slayton - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Darius Slayton had his turn as the primary receiver in New York last week, catching six of his seven targets for 79 yards. The Giants have been very inconsistent in their passing game and aren’t prolific enough to bank on any one receiver to put up big numbers, so fantasy managers should still shy away from Slayton. He might be worth a speculative roster addition in deeper leagues, but keep him out of lineups for the time being.

NYG WR Darius Slayton - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers

Darius Slayton had two catches on seven targets for 13 yards last week against the Dolphins. He has some upside this week in what should be a negative game script against the Chargers, but with a shaky quarterback situation and the inconsistencies of the Giants’ offense in general, it’s probably best to leave Slayton on waivers.

NYG WR Darius Slayton - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Miami Dolphins

Darius Slayton has been healthy for a couple of weeks in a row and has a nice matchup against a struggled Dolphins secondary, but he’s still not producing consistently enough to warrant serious fantasy consideration. Leave him on waivers in most formats.

NYG WR Darius Slayton - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Kansas City Chiefs

Darius Slayton returned from his hamstring injury last week and caught a respectable five of nine targets for 63 yards. It was good to see him lead the team in targets, although that’s really only sustainable as long as the Giants’ top three wide receivers are all injured again. Keep him in mind this week in a great matchup against the Chiefs, but be ready to pull him out if Sterling Shepard or Kenny Golladay are active. We have him ranked just outside WR3 territory with Shepard set to go, but he’ll be worth considering if Shepard is a late scratch again.
