Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Jerry Jeudy

Wednesday, October 15, 5:21 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) missed the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Slayton suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints and didn't practice on a short week before missing last Thursday night's upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Another DNP to begin Week 7 preparation is a bad sign, but Slayton still has two more days to get back onto the practice field. If the 28-year-old cannot do so, he'll miss a second straight game this Sunday versus the Denver Broncos on the road. Slayton figures to be one of New York's top pass-catchers the rest of the year now that Malik Nabers (knee) is done for the season, but he needs to get healthy first. If Slayton gets cleared to play on Sunday, he'll be a WR4/flex, at best, against a stingy Denver defense.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught five of his 13 targets for 43 yards in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Jeudy led the team in targets but continued his season-long trend of doing very little with his opportunities as he was held to 48 receiving yards or fewer for the fourth straight game. Overall, Jeudy has caught 20 passes for 240 scoreless yards through five games as Cleveland's No. 1 receiver. He will now head back home to face off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. The Dolphins are allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts, leaving Jeudy as a low-end flex option for his upcoming weekend.
