Darius Slayton Presented with Opportunity to Make a Big Impact in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 11:50 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Darius Slayton will make his team debut on Sunday, and he could immediately step into an elevated role. Slayton was originally signed to take the roster spot of Alec Pierce (heel) on injured reserve, but he hasn't earned an offensive snap yet. That should change in Week 4, as the Colts will be without both Pierce and Keenan Allen (groin). There's a reasonable path for Slayton to occupy the No. 2 role on the depth chart behind Josh Downs. The jury is still out on whether the Colts' offense can support two fantasy-relevant receivers at once, but we'd feel decent about his outlook against the Washington Commanders if he does indeed operate as the No. 2 receiver behind Downs. This is certainly a very enticing matchup for Slayton; entering Week 4, the Commanders had allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2026. Managers who are in deeper leagues and need a WR3/flex replacement should consider streaming Slayton this week.

Steelers Select Receiver/Returner Kaden Wetjen 121st Overall

Saturday, April 25, 9:12 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Iowa return specialist/wide receiver Kaden Wetjen with the 121st overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He's technically listed as a wide receiver, but we expect to see Wetjen operate solely on special teams. While he had just 23 catches and 197 yards across three seasons at school, he exploded for 1,538 kick return yards, 954 punt return yards, and six return touchdowns. He led the Big 10 in yards per kick return each of the last two seasons, as well as punt return yards in 2025. Meanwhile, he led the entire FBS in kick return yards in 2024 and punt return yards, yards per punt return, and punt return touchdowns in 2025. The Steelers love Iowa prospects and consistently pursue talented returners in the draft or free agency, so this is a perfect fit. He should be their primary returner in Week 1.
