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 is in line for more targets in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. Zaccheaus was held without a catch in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns despite Rome Odunze (foot) being inactive. Now, both Odunze and rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 16, which catapults Zaccheaus to the WR2 in this Bears offense. They face the Green Bay Packers this week, who have given up the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While Zacchaeus has only had over 50 receiving yards once this season, he carries low-end FLEX value against the Packers.
