Darius Slayton News
Thursday, April 30, 9:13 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (abdomen) recently had core-muscle surgery, sources told Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Slayton will miss spring workouts, but he's expected to be a full-go for training camp this summer. Barring a setback in his recovery, Slayton should be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall. Top wideout Malik Nabers (knee) is also recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered early last season, so there are some definite question marks for New York's receiving room heading into the upcoming campaign. Wan'Dale Robinson departed in free agency, but the G-Men added Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III in free agency, and drafted Malachi Fields in the third round. The 29-year-old Slayton has seven years of experience in the NFL (all with the Giants), but he's never cleared 770 receiving yards, and he hasn't had more than four touchdowns in a single season since his rookie year, when he had eight. Slayton's roster spot in New York should be secure, but he'll be battling for targets with Mooney, Austin, and Fields, and he won't be a very intriguing late-round flier in standard 12-team fantasy leagues going into his eighth year in the league.

Jordan Addison News
Wednesday, May 27, 10:11 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison had an underwhelming 2025 season. In addition to missing the first three games of the year due to a suspension, he turned in the worst statistics of his career as he caught just 42 passes for 610 yards and three touchdowns across 14 games. It was the first time in Addison's three-year career that he ranked lower than WR23 in PPR leagues. The frustrating 2025 season has prompted some managers to explore trading Addison in dynasty leagues. While we're not overly optimistic about a quarterback room featuring J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray, we do expect to see more consistent, quality quarterback reps from McCarthy and Murray than what we saw from Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer last year. Video from voluntary workouts shows that Murray, the projected starter, has quickly built a rapport with Addison, so perhaps that's a reason for optimism. Jefferson is still the alpha receiver here, but the 2023 and 2024 seasons showed that Jefferson and Addison can co-exist on the fantasy radar. Addison ranks as the WR30 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings, and he has sneaky value as a potential buy-low candidate in trades ahead of the 2026 season.
