Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Olamide Zaccheaus

Monday, December 9, 9:42 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton saw six targets as the team threw the ball 49 times in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. The 27-year-old finished with two receptions for 27 yards in an overall rough day for the team. Despite seeing 12 targets over the last two games, he's only been able to turn them into four catches for 35 yards. While the Giants head for the first-overall pick in the next draft, the passing game is hard to trust down the stretch. The Giants will take on the Ravens in Week 15.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus should be expected to continue to operate as the No.3 wideout in Week 16 but should not be started in any formats facing the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, Zaccheaus brought in three of his four targets for 36 yards. He also found the end zone, but the play was eventually called back due to an offensive penalty. Zaccheaus has typically been deployed as a depth option in the passing attack but has seen an uptick in opportunities with Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve. He has shown upside at times in his limited role, averaging an impressive 10.0 yards per catch this season. However, facing one of the top secondaries in the sport that has allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts makes Zaccheaus a desperation option in deep PPR formats that should be avoided.
