Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Rome Odunze

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 Rome Odunze (foot) missed another practice on Wednesday, according to Scott Bair of the Marquee Sports Network. Odunze also missed Tuesday's session and looks to be on track to miss a third straight game due to a stress fracture in his foot. Head coach Ben Johnson hinted earlier this week that the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher could be shut down in the final three weeks of the regular season so that the team can have him closer to full strength for the playoffs. After a strong start to the season, Odunze has been a disappointment to fantasy managers in the second half, and he's likely to be ruled out for Saturday's divisional tilt against the Green Bay Packers unless he returns to practice on Thursday. Rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) has yet to practice this week, either, so Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay, in addition to rookie tight end Colston Loveland, could be in for bigger roles this weekend behind DJ Moore if both Odunze and Burden cannot play.
