Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Ashton Dulin

Wednesday, November 20, 5:20 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) was listed as a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Slayton still has a ways to go to clear the league's concussion protocol, but it's a good sign for his availability in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old suffered a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Washington Commanders and then sat out the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 in Germany. New York had a bye in Week 11. Slayton has cleared 100 yards in two of his nine games in 2024 but has just one touchdown and will be returning to an offense that is benching quarterback Daniel Jones for the rest of the year. He will also have to fight for targets alongside impressive rookie Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, which will make Slayton a boom/bust WR4/flex when he returns.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Friday. With his and Josh Downs' (ankle) recent injuries, other wideouts on the Colts roster have been able to run with the first team. The severity of Dulin's injury is unclear, but this puts him in jeopardy of missing Indianapolis' preseason opener on Sunday. The fifth-year wideout had previously been a full-go at training camp on the heels of missing the entirety of the 2023 season with a torn ACL he suffered in August last season. The Colts have a relatively deep WR corps, and Dulin is listed fifth on the team's unofficial depth chart behind Michael Pittman Jr., Downs, rookie Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce. For now, he can be safely left by the wayside until he returns to health and begins rapidly ascending the depth chart.
