Allen Lazard In Line for Increased Playing Time with Jets?

Tuesday, October 14, 9:41 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard has recorded just four catches for 24 yards on six targets across four games so far this season. Still, Lazard could have a chance to make his mark in New York now that star Jets wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) is facing a multi-week absence due to a knee injury. Lazard missed the team's Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos due to personal reasons, so his status for Week 7 is somewhat unclear. If he's able to return to the lineup in Week 7, Lazard could be the favorite to start at wide receiver for the Jets alongside fellow veteran Josh Reynolds in a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers. In the very deepest of fantasy leagues, Lazard could be a short-term desperation flex option while Wilson is sidelined.

Darius Slayton Officially Ruled Out for Thursday Night

Wednesday, October 8, 1:18 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Thursday night divisional game in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This was the expected result after Slayton injured his hamstring on Sunday in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was unable to practice leading up to Thursday's game. The good news is that the 28-year-old will have extra time to get ready for a potential return in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos. Without Slayton in the fold in a tough matchup against Philly, Wan'Dale Robinson should be the favorite target of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in the passing game, with Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins also starting in three-wide sets. Tight ends Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger should also be more involved in the passing attack on Thursday.
