Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Rashee Rice

Wednesday, October 15, 5:21 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) missed the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Slayton suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints and didn't practice on a short week before missing last Thursday night's upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Another DNP to begin Week 7 preparation is a bad sign, but Slayton still has two more days to get back onto the practice field. If the 28-year-old cannot do so, he'll miss a second straight game this Sunday versus the Denver Broncos on the road. Slayton figures to be one of New York's top pass-catchers the rest of the year now that Malik Nabers (knee) is done for the season, but he needs to get healthy first. If Slayton gets cleared to play on Sunday, he'll be a WR4/flex, at best, against a stingy Denver defense.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice's six-game suspension is over, and he will make his 2025 debut in the Week 7 divisional clash against the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. "He's going to play (Sunday against the Raiders). How many snaps he'll get, (I don't know). He's been working hard. He's in good shape," head coach Andy Reid said. Rice is practicing with the rest of the team for the first time this year on Wednesday. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs "will be allocating a heavy workload for him as soon as possible," so fantasy managers will want to get Rice back into their starting lineups immediately in a good matchup. In addition to his six-game suspension, the 25-year-old is back from an LCL tear in his knee that he suffered in the offseason. When fully healthy, Rice is expected to be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target.
