Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Jerry Jeudy

Wednesday, October 22, 9:44 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Slayton returning to practice is a good sight considering he has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in Week 5. The fact he was able to get on the practice field at all is a good sign. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his status over the next few days. If active, Slayton could offer some flex value against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) is back at practice on Thursday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Jeudy was listed as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, but his return on Thursday puts him on the right track to be active in Week 8 on Sunday on the road against the New England Patriots. If the 26-year-old is a full-go before Friday's final session, he could be cleared from the Week 8 injury report entirely. It's been a frustrating year for Jeudy and his fantasy managers so far through seven weeks in 2025, as he's currently looking for his first visit to paydirt. The former first-rounder was a Pro Bowler in his first year in Cleveland in 2024 with a 90-1,229-4 line in 17 games, but he has managed only 22 catches for 257 yards so far in 2025. He has not topped 20 yards in two of the last three games and has a much lower fantasy ceiling the rest of the way now that veteran quarterback Joe Flacco is in Cincinnati.
