Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Quentin Johnston

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Monday's injury report. Slayton left late in New York's Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury and did not return. The Giants have a short week in Week 6 as they prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night, so it could be tough for Slayton to recover in time to play. The 28-year-old recorded three catches for 31 yards on six targets before getting hurt in New York's first full game without star wideout Malik Nabers (knee). If Slayton is sidelined for Week 6, Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt would likely see an uptick in targets.

After an explosive start to the 2025 season, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston regressed in the team's 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. He caught all four of his targets for 40 yards but lost a crucial fumble that shifted the momentum of the game in the second quarter. The performance could have been even better, as a holding penalty nullified a 20-yard first-down catch. While Johnston remains heavily involved, issues with the offensive line limited his big-play potential throughout the game. Johnston has the chance to bounce back in Week 6 when the Chargers face a struggling Miami Dolphins defense. That's if Herbert gets enough time to throw deep.
