Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Marvin Mims Jr.

Tuesday, October 7, 2:38 PM

While all practice participation is merely projected as the New York Giants prepare to play the Eagles on Thursday night, receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) would not be able to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, according to head coach Brian Daboll. With superstar wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) out for the year, Slayton had an opportunity to step up on Sunday against the Saints, but he caught only three passes for 31 yards and added a costly fumble in the loss. Now looking unlikely to play on Thursday night, Wan'Dale Robinson should see the bulk of the Giants' wide receiver targets against a Philadelphia defense that has been unkind to fantasy receivers through five weeks.

After dealing with hip and ankle injuries throughout practice this week, Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hip, ankle) has been cleared and doesn't carry an injury designation against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Mims will look to stay hot coming off a six-catch outing for 69 yards with a 16-yard rush attempt for a touchdown on top of that. While the Eagles' 15th-ranked pass defense might be forced to focus more on Courtland Sutton, Mims will have a chance to flash while he takes the field for what seems to be a consistent trend of 40-50% of the offensive snaps. Although incredibly efficient with his offensive snaps, Mims can't yet be trusted as more than a boom/ bust flex option going into Week 5.
