Darius Slayton
2025 Season Outlooks
Slayton returned to the Giants this offseason as a bit of a surprise to continue his consistent but underrated career in New York. Unfortunately, consistency on a season-to-season basis doesn't always lead to Fantasy relevance. Slayton averaged just 4.4 targets per game in 2024 -- good for 71st-most in the NFL and this was despite earning a majority of the snaps as the team's X receiver. If Jalin Hyatt or another contender eats into any of Slayton's snap count, we could see his target rate fall even further. Due to a lack of volume and lack of upside in the Giants' passing game, Slayton is best left undrafted in 2025 Fantasy leagues.
Slayton re-signed with the Giants and is entering his seventh season with the team after they selected him in the fifth round back in 2019. He plays a lot of snaps (80%-plus snap share two years in a row), but he's not targeted much (4.4 per game last season) and hasn't finished a season better than 39th in fantasy PPG (or better than 54th since 2020). Slayton has yet to clear 770 yards in a season and he hasn't scored more than four TDs in a season since 2019. The 28-year-old will work opposite Malik Nabers (with Wan'Dale Robinson in the slot) again this season, and, even with a QB upgrade to Russell Wilson, he's well off the fantasy radar.
