Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Cedric Tillman

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (groin, calf) will play in his team's week 3 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Slayton was limited in practice this week due to groin and calf issues, but will not carry an injury designation into the weekend. The 28-year-old has two catches for 61 yards on just four targets through his first two games of the season. Slayton appears to be firmly behind both Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson in the target pecking order among wide receivers in New York. Slayton should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hand, hip) logged his second consecutive limited practice session on Thursday while dealing with multiple injuries. Tillman remains as Cleveland's obvious WR2 through three weeks, as he and Jerry Jeudy are the only wideouts to eclipse 100 snaps, boasting 90 more than the next pass-catcher (Isaiah Bond). However, the 25-year-old sustained two injuries in Week 3's 13-10 win against the Green Bay Packers, putting his status for Week 4 in question. Tillman hasn't missed a practice yet, which is a positive sign for his potential designation. Still, he'll likely need to get in a full session before suiting up for their meeting with the hosting Detroit Lions. Bond is the most likely candidate to fill in if Tillman can't go, with teammate Jamari Thrash operating as their third WR. Tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. would also get a boost.
