Darius Slayton

Slayton finished with two receptions on three targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.

Slayton got the Giants on the scoreboard with a 30-yard catch-and-run touchdown in which he simply out-ran five defenders to the paint following a simple inside curl route, marking his first touchdown of the season. He would add only one other reception for 11 yards the rest of the game as rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart fed 16 combined targets to Wan'Dale Robinson and Theo Johnson. Slayton remains a shaky weekly fantasy bet that managers won't need to worry about starting as the team heads to their Week 14 bye.

Darius Slayton was also removed from the injury report. He will continue to play through his hamstring injury. Robinson was limited for the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session over the weekend. He shouldn't be bothered by the ankle issue on Monday. Per usual, Robinson will be a volume-based WR3. Slayton is a desperation WR6 versus the Pats.

Slayton is on track to face the Patriots on Monday night. Hopefully, he returns to full participation soon, and puts this hamstring strain behind him. The speedy wide receiver is on the volatile FLEX radar, catching passes from QB Jaxson Dart, who cleared the NFL's concussion protocol earlier this week.

Slayton delivered underwhelming results last week, but he made it through the game without suffering a re-injury, slightly increasing his outlook for this week. Slayton will have QB Jaxson Dart (concussion) back on the field this week as the Giants take on the Patriots on Monday.
