Who Should I Start? Allen Robinson or Darius Slayton

According to Field Yates of ESPN, wide receiver Allen Robinson was released by the Steelers on Friday. The move helped Pittsburgh from a monetary standpoint, considering it cleared up millions in cap space. But it also allows the team to move on from the veteran wideout, who is coming off arguably his worst year in the league. Robinson has played for four teams throughout his career. In 127 regular season games, he's caught 562 passes for 7,028 yards and 43 touchdowns. The 30-year-old has also hit the 1,000-yard mark three times. That said, Robinson should have more than a few teams interested in acquiring his services. But he's not expected to be a viable fantasy asset anytime in the near future.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is expected to remain a starter despite the addition of first-round pick Malik Nabers, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan notes that while Slayton has expressed frustration about his current contract status, the pass-catcher is expected to open the 2024 campaign as New York's No. 2 receiver behind Nabers. Such an alignment would push Jalin Hyatt into the No. 3 role, at least to start the year. Isaiah Hodgins, Isaiah McKenzie, and Gunner Olszewski would round out the depth chart. With uncertainty at quarterback and increased competition in the passing game, Slayton isn't a very enticing name for the 2024 fantasy football season. In all likelihood, he'll open the year on the fringe of rosters and waiver wires in most 12-team redraft formats.
