Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Drake Maye

Thursday, November 21, 5:27 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) is stacking good days coming out of the bye week, practicing in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Slayton suffered a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and didn't travel to Germany the following week in the overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Last week's bye looks like it did Slayton some good, too, and he should be expected to return to the field this Sunday to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old should return to starting three-wide sets alongside rookie Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, although now he'll be taking passes from quarterback Tommy Devito after Daniel Jones' benching. That's bad news for Slayton's fantasy upside, making him more of a WR5/flex in deeper leagues.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 30 of his 40 pass attempts for 282 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He also rushed for 27 yards, took three sacks, and lost a fumble. Maye still had some blemishes in his performance, including the two turnovers, but will ultimately finish as a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback for the third time in his young NFL career. Managers should continue to view him as a solid fantasy option for Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins.
