Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Jerry Jeudy

Tuesday, December 2, 1:00 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton hauled in two of his three targets for 41 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Monday night's loss to the New England Patriots. Slayton led the Giants in receiving in the game and found the end zone for the first time since Week 17 of last season. The 28-year-old hasn't been a huge factor for the Giants this season, totaling 26 receptions for 407 yards and one touchdown on 39 targets in 10 games. He's operated as the No. 3 option in the passing game behind Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson in recent weeks and has returned fringe flex value in fantasy football. Slayton and the Giants head into their Week 14 bye before facing the Washington Commanders in Week 15.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy may be the team's WR1, but he has fallen behind rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. in targets, receptions, and yards for the season; a trend that is unlikely to reverse in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills. Despite playing 96% of the team's snaps and running a route on all 42 drop-backs in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears, Jeudy managed to haul in just two of his four targets for 22 yards. The veteran wide receiver has failed to gain rapport with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who prefers to target fellow rookie tight end Fannin Jr. However, the Bills routinely limit opposing tight ends to single-digit fantasy points and are the hardest matchup for that position in the league, which may benefit Jeudy in Week 16. Jeudy still offers big-play upside, and Sanders should have additional time in the pocket this week to take deep shots, which gives him modest upside against the Bills at home this week. Jeudy is a high-risk, low-end WR3 option for deep league fantasy managers and is difficult to trust in Week 16.
