Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Michael Pittman Jr.

Saturday, October 18, 2:09 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos, per Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This marks the second straight missed game for Slayton, who has recorded 12 catches for 166 yards on 18 targets across the five games he's been healthy for in 2025. With both Slayton and Malik Nabers (knee) sidelined, Giants wideout Wan'Dale Robinson should see a healthy dose of targets from quarterback Jaxson Dart. Wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey could serve as the team's WR2, as he saw eight targets with Slayton out in Week 6. Still, in a tough matchup against Denver, Robinson is likely the only Giants pass-catcher worth starting for fantasy managers in Week 7.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught seven of his nine targets for 58 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on the road at SoFi Stadium. The 28-year-old bounced back after catching just two passes last weekend. He has quietly established himself as the overall WR10 in scoring this season (PPR), and his schedule will only get easier over the next two weeks as he takes on the Titans and Steelers. Facing Tennessee in Week 8 should keep Pittman in the low-end WR1 tier. In his last outing against the Titans, he caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown.
