Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Joshua Palmer

Monday, September 29, 10:26 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton recorded three catches for 44 yards on four targets in his team's 21-18 Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Slayton has just nine catches for 135 yards on 12 targets so far in 2025, but he's likely to see a major uptick in target volume with star Giants wideout Malik Nabers (knee) likely out for the remainder of the season with what could be a torn ACL. In the two games Nabers missed in 2024, Slayton recorded 14 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson should also see more work in the passing game, but Slayton is the more explosive downfield threat. Slayton should be added in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams ahead of a favorable Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer did not make an impact in Week 3's 31-21 win over the visiting Miami Dolphins, catching his lone target for a gain of five yards. The former Los Angeles Charger saw nine targets in Week 1, but has had minimal output since then, accounting for just three receptions over the prior two weeks. Furthermore, his snap share has diminished in each game, hitting a low in their matchup with the Dolphins (43%). For now, it appears Buffalo prefers fellow wideouts Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir in two-wide sets. Additionally, tight end Dalton Kincaid will siphon away his fair share of looks, making Palmer more of a low-floor WR5 option with modest upside in shootouts.
