Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Jalen Tolbert

Friday, November 28, 8:11 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) was listed as limited in practice for the second straight day on Friday due to a hamstring injury, according to the team's official website. Slayton missed the Week 11 game due to a hamstring injury, but he returned in last week's overtime loss to the Detroit Lions to catch one of his two targets for only 23 yards. The 28-year-old could draw a questionable tag going into Monday night's game against the New England Patriots unless he practices in full on Saturday. Slayton will have a higher fantasy ceiling if he's active on Monday with rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) returning to action, although he's been the clear No. 2 in New York in 2025 behind target hog Wan'Dale Robinson. Slayton has been a low-ceiling fantasy wideout this year and is still searching for his first touchdown. He has gone over 50 receiving yards in a game just three times.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (coach's decision) and running back Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) are healthy scratches for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both players will be inactive. Tolbert had not previously missed a game this season, but his demotion is not necessarily a surprise, given that his snap share has been below 20% in each of the Cowboys' last three games. He has just 14 catches for 172 yards and one touchdown on offense, plus five kick returns on special teams. Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin should earn more opportunities in his absence. Meanwhile, Blue has been active for just four games during his rookie campaign, averaging 2.95 yards per carry. Dallas is carrying just two running backs (Javonte Williams and Malik Davis) into Sunday's game, as well as fullback Hunter Luepke.
