Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Jack Bech

Wednesday, October 8, 1:18 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Thursday night divisional game in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This was the expected result after Slayton injured his hamstring on Sunday in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was unable to practice leading up to Thursday's game. The good news is that the 28-year-old will have extra time to get ready for a potential return in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos. Without Slayton in the fold in a tough matchup against Philly, Wan'Dale Robinson should be the favorite target of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in the passing game, with Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins also starting in three-wide sets. Tight ends Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger should also be more involved in the passing attack on Thursday.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech is beginning to make his presence felt, turning in his most productive game of the season in Week 5. After playing just 10% of snaps in Week 4, Bech saw his snap share jump to 53% and drew five targets, finishing with a career-high 27 receiving yards. While those numbers don't yet warrant fantasy consideration in standard formats, the increased involvement is an encouraging sign for the rookie's development. If Bech continues to earn a steady role in the Raiders' offensive rotation, he could emerge as a deeper-league stash with intriguing dynasty upside. For now, Bech should remain on the fantasy radar as a potential riser in an offense still searching for consistent playmakers aside from Ashton Jeanty.
