New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday after being sidelined for the team's matchup with the Packers last week. Slayton has just 23 receptions for 343 yards this season. This is another blow in a long list of injuries to the team's position players this season. In Slayton's absence last week, Isaiah Hodgins appeared on 79% of offensive snaps, while Jalin Hyatt saw 61%. This leaves the door open for Wan'Dale Robinson to be a target monster again after getting nine looks last week. The viability of the Giants' pass catchers also hinges on the availability of starting quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion), who missed last week.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is one of three Giants players to have already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup with the Packers, along with quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion). With Mike Kafka serving as interim head coach following the Monday firing of Brian Daboll, the team has already announced plans to start journeyman quarterback Jameis Winston, but who he will be throwing to is now another question entirely. Receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson suddenly become very interesting plays for fantasy managers willing to roll the dice and shoot for upside. Even against a Packers' pass defense that has been suffocating at times, Winston's propensity to hyper-target his top pass catchers and willingness to throw into windows that most quarterbacks would not, is a recipe for fantasy fireworks.

New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka said that wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) will not practice on Friday and is not expected to suit up on Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 11, according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Slayton picked up a hamstring injury in the Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears and was unable to practice all week, so fantasy managers need to put him on their bench for the weekend. The G-Men will also be without rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart after he suffered a concussion last weekend. So the Giants' offense will be run by veteran gunslinger Jameis Winston, making Green Bay's defensive unit a must-start in fantasy leagues. Wan'Dale Robinson should see heavy targets in the passing game, with Jalin Hyatt, Isaiah Hodgins, and Gunner Olszewski also seeing expanded roles. Tight end Theo Johnson will likely be Winston's No. 2 target.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old appears to be at risk of missing his team's Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Across eight games this season, Slayton has recorded 23 catches for 343 yards on 34 targets. He's been trending up in recent weeks, hauling in nine catches for 151 yards on 11 targets over his last two games played. If Slayton is unable to play in Week 11, Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson could both see a boost in target share. Wideouts Isaiah Hodgins and Jalin Hyatt could see their playing time increase as well.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Slayton is coming off his best game of the season in Week 10 against the Bears, catching all four targets for 89 yards. It's unclear when the veteran picked up the injury, but his status will continue to be monitored as the week goes along. The 28-year-old should see a boost in production with the report of Jameis Winston starting at quarterback for the Giants in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers, with Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol. If Slayton is able to play, he should be a viable flex option this Sunday.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught all four of his targets for 89 yards in the team's 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears. Slayton briefly exited with a hamstring injury but returned in the third quarter to post his highest yardage total of the season. Since Malik Nabers tore his ACL in Week 4, Slayton has had to step up as one of the Giants' primary receiving options. However, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart left the game with a concussion and is uncertain for Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers. Slayton's fantasy outlook will hinge on Dart's availability, as his production would likely drop if Russell Wilson starts in his place.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) has returned to Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Chicago Bears. He initially exited in the first half with a hamstring injury and was deemed questionable to return. He checked back in during the second half, looking to build on an impressive start that included three catches for 85 yards. He'll continue to operate alongside Wan'Dale Robinson in the Giants' offense.
Nov 9, 2025 2:55 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Chicago Bears. He is questionable to return. He was having a spectacular game at the time of his departure, catching three passes for 85 yards as the Giants' leading receiver. With Slayton sidelined for the time being, Ray-Ray McCloud III or Jalin Hyatt could step up as the No. 2 receiver behind Wan'Dale Robinson. Tight ends Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger should also be heavily involved.
Nov 9, 2025 2:17 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is coming off his best performance of the season last week. Slayton hauled in five of his seven targets for a season-high 62 yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants are lacking playmakers with the injuries piling up on offense. That being said, Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson should continue being the primary targets in the passing attack. Slayton will get a plus-matchup in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears defense that struggles to contain the passing attack. After his performance last week, Slayton should be viewed as a WR3 in PPR formats for this weekend.
Nov 9, 2025 8:25 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is coming off his best game of the season and will look to build on his momentum during Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. The 28-year-old continues to operate as the Giants' No. 2 receiver behind Wan'Dale Robinson, and his fantasy managers can let out a sigh of relief after New York opted against adding any receivers to compete with Slayton at the trade deadline. He had five catches for 62 yards last week, handling seven targets on an impressive 89 percent snap share. The Bears have struggled to defend the pass this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Slayton can be deployed as a solid WR3/flex option in most leagues.
Nov 8, 2025 10:33 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton emerged as one of the quiet winners of the NFL Trade Deadline. While several teams reshaped their receiving corps during the deadline, the Giants stood pat, signaling confidence in their current group and keeping Slayton locked in as a top option. Through seven games, Slayton has caught 19 of 30 targets for 254 yards without finding the end zone. Despite modest production, he's played on 85% of the team's offensive snaps, maintaining a strong role in the offense. With rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart continuing to impress, Slayton's breakout could be right around the corner. In Week 10, Slayton draws a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Given his snap share and matchup, Slayton profiles as an intriguing deep-league FLEX flier this week.
Nov 5, 2025 10:17 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton finished Week 9's loss to the 49ers with five catches on seven targets for a team-high 62 receiving yards. It was also his best personal total of the year as he continues to work as one of rookie Jaxson Dart's top receivers. He came close to an even better game, but he couldn't quite haul in a 34-yard touchdown on a great throw from Dart. Slayton missed two games with a hamstring injury, but he has at least four targets in each of his last five games, going back to before the injury. He will likely remain one of the top targets in the offense against the Bears in Week 10. He can be a deep-league addition from the waiver wire if you need a receiver who should continue to get chances even in an offense that doesn't always rack up lots of passing yards.
Nov 4, 2025 9:46 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton could be in line for more targets in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers with multiple pass catchers sidelined. Slayton had a quiet game in Week 8 against the Eagles, but it could have been a much bigger day. The 28-year-old had a 68-yard touchdown wiped out due to a questionable pass interference call where both players were hand-fighting. Slayton has been a fairly consistent piece of the Giants' offense since Week 2, catching multiple balls in each game despite the Giants leaning pretty heavily into the run. Slayton has proven capable of winning on vertical routes throughout his career, which aligns with some of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart's strengths. This could be the week where Slayton and Dart connect for a deep touchdown against an exploitable 49ers secondary that was torched by C.J. Stroud and the Texans last week.
Nov 1, 2025 3:41 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is a candidate for an elevated touch share moving forward in the team's offensive attack. With running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) going down with a gruesome injury, head coach Brian Daboll may deploy a more pass-heavy approach. Through eight weeks, New York has attempted a pass at the ninth-lowest rate in the league (54.39%). However, as Jaxson Dart grows and matures, it makes sense that Daboll would allow him more freedom in the passing game. That may come sooner, as New York will be without the driving force of its offense for an extended period. With teammate Wan'Dale Robinson in the fold, consistency could be hard to find for Slayton. Still, the latter is the only other active Giants' wideout who's accrued more than 160 snaps (341).
Oct 30, 2025 12:27 PM EST
After missing two games with a hamstring injury, New York Giants receiver Darius Slayton caught two of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. As one of the last men standing in a battered Giants offense, it's reasonable that he'll receive some waiver wire buzz this week, but having topped 45 yards only once this year without finding the endzone, he provides a very unstable floor with almost no ceiling. With rookie running back and human spark plug Cam Skattebo (ankle) recently undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated ankle, the Giants' offense is likely to hit a rough patch, with the clearest path through coming on the legs of Jaxson Dart rather than his arm.
Oct 28, 2025 2:42 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will return to the field in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles after missing each of his team's last two games due to a hamstring injury. Slayton has recorded 12 catches for 166 yards on 18 targets across five games so far this season. However, he recorded a season-high six targets in Week 5, the lone game he has played in since star Giants wideout Malik Nabers (knee) was lost for the season with a knee injury. Slayton recorded 14 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets across the two games that Nabers missed in 2024. The Giants have a difficult matchup on the road against the Eagles in Week 8. Philadelphia has allowed the second-fewest receiving touchdowns (seven) in the NFL in 2025. Still, Slayton has clear target volume upside and profiles as a low-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 8.
Oct 25, 2025 2:31 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is off the injury report and will play in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Slayton has missed each of New York's last two games due to a hamstring injury. Before getting hurt, the 28-year-old had recorded 12 catches for 166 yards on 18 targets. Upon his return to the lineup, Slayton should slot in alongside wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson as one of the top two targets for Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart. In the lone game Slayton has played this season without star Giants wideout Malik Nabers (knee), he earned a season-high six targets. Slayton profiles as a low-end flex option for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 8 against Philadelphia.
Oct 24, 2025 3:09 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Slayton returning to practice is a good sight considering he has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in Week 5. The fact he was able to get on the practice field at all is a good sign. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his status over the next few days. If active, Slayton could offer some flex value against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.
Oct 22, 2025 9:44 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos, per Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This marks the second straight missed game for Slayton, who has recorded 12 catches for 166 yards on 18 targets across the five games he's been healthy for in 2025. With both Slayton and Malik Nabers (knee) sidelined, Giants wideout Wan'Dale Robinson should see a healthy dose of targets from quarterback Jaxson Dart. Wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey could serve as the team's WR2, as he saw eight targets with Slayton out in Week 6. Still, in a tough matchup against Denver, Robinson is likely the only Giants pass-catcher worth starting for fantasy managers in Week 7.
Oct 18, 2025 2:09 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is officially listed as doubtful ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos. As expected, Slayton is expected to miss this game after sitting out of practice all week. This would be the second straight game that Slayton has missed due to a hamstring injury. His absence would mean increased roles for Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Assuming Slayton sits, Robinson is the only player here worth streaming right now.
