Darius Slayton: Darius Slayton Starting Once Again

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is a long-shot fantasy option for Week 1 despite his speed and veteran presence. Coming off a season where he averaged 5.66 fantasy points per game, Slayton is not a recommended play for most fantasy leagues. The Washington Commanders' defense was the 8th-ranked fantasy defense against wide receivers in 2024, giving up 30.24 points per game. However, Slayton's role as a deep threat, combined with the presence of other receivers like Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, will likely limit his target share. While his new quarterback, Russell Wilson, represents a potential upgrade, Slayton's fantasy value is too reliant on a big play to be trusted as a reliable starter.
