Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Darius Slayton

Sunday, October 27, 3:13 PM

The Carolina Panthers will not have quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) or running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Dalton is inactive after injuring his right thumb during a minor car accident earlier this week. His absence re-inserts Bryce Young into the Panthers starting lineup for Week 8. Meanwhile, Brooks is still on the non-football injury list after Carolina failed to activate him on Saturday. The rookie still has not made his NFL debut. The Panthers must activate him by November 6; if they don't, Brooks won't be able to play this season. Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders will handle most of Carolina's rushing opportunities until Brooks is healthy enough to play.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton led the team in receiving yards during Monday night's 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, hauling in four catches for 108 yards on seven targets. Slayton showcased his big-play ability with an impressive 27-yard average per reception, including a 43-yard grab highlighting his field-stretching role in the offense. Despite the high yardage, he could not reach the end zone, limiting his fantasy ceiling in a touchdown-free outing for the Giants. With 12.8 fantasy points, Slayton's deep-threat potential remains valuable in deeper leagues.
