Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Davion Davis

Wide receiver Darius Slayton is the New York Giants' top free agent this offseason, but ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan writes that Slayton isn't a candidate to be franchise-tagged with the number being well over $20 million in 2025. Raanan compares Slayton more to Darnell Mooney, who got $13 million per year in free agency last year. The 28-year-old has proven that he's not a No. 1 receiver type that would typically command a franchise tag, and the last time New York let him test the market, they ended up re-signing him on a two-year, $12 million deal after the 2022 season. In his sixth year with the G-Men in 2024, Slayton had just 39 catches on 71 targets for 573 yards (the second-lowest total of his career) and only two touchdowns in 16 games (13 starts). Given the Giants' uncertainty at the QB position, Slayton is probably better off going elsewhere in 2025.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Davion Davis made his mark in the team's 18-17 come-from-behind victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday. With eight minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter, quarterback David Blough heaved a pass downfield that was caught by Davis, helping start the comeback win. Unfortunately, other than the TD, Davis was relatively quiet on the day. He secured three catches on seven targets for 43 yards. The 2nd year pro is on the outside looking in when it comes to making the Cardinal's 53-man roster, but he could be worth monitoring in case an injury occurs.
