Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Olamide Zaccheaus

Tuesday, December 2, 1:00 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton hauled in two of his three targets for 41 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Monday night's loss to the New England Patriots. Slayton led the Giants in receiving in the game and found the end zone for the first time since Week 17 of last season. The 28-year-old hasn't been a huge factor for the Giants this season, totaling 26 receptions for 407 yards and one touchdown on 39 targets in 10 games. He's operated as the No. 3 option in the passing game behind Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson in recent weeks and has returned fringe flex value in fantasy football. Slayton and the Giants head into their Week 14 bye before facing the Washington Commanders in Week 15.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus enters Week 14 with an uptick in volume expected. Zaccheaus has been phased out of the Bears' offense as of late, totaling just four receptions for 30 yards in his last four games. With the emergence of rookie receiver Luther Burden III, Zaccheaus has played just 27% of the snaps in the past three games. Now, top target Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Week 14's game against the Green Bay Packers, which should open up targets for Zaccheaus and the other receivers. There are still concerns surrounding Zaccheaus' outlook this week, including the lack of volume from the offense. Caleb Williams currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in completions this season, which makes it very difficult for Zaccheaus to be an option this week, with his limited workload. While the veteran receiver should be a factor in Green Bay this week, he does not offer enough upside to be a starting option.
