Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Darius Slayton

Thursday, October 31, 4:04 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (chest) was placed on the injured reserve according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Lazard was unable to participate in any team practices this week and was previously ruled out for Thursday. However, he will now have to sit out for at least the next four games. Lazard has been a stable contributor in the New York offense this season averaging 58.9 yards per game with a high of 114 in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills. Fantasy managers should expect Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams to see the majority of passing work going forward with Mike Williams now operating as the No.3 option.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) has been removed from the final Week 12 injury report and will return on Sunday to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Slayton has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol coming out of the bye week and will play this weekend for the first time since suffering a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old could return to a substantial role, too, with rookie Malik Nabers (groin) being questionable to play against Tampa. However, the move to quarterback Tommy Devito as New York's starter could also limit the fantasy upside of all of the Giants' pass-catchers the rest of the season. The biggest beneficiary for the G-Men if Nabers is inactive on Sunday will likely be receiver Wan'Dale Robinson.
