Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Romeo Doubs

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Thursday night divisional game in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This was the expected result after Slayton injured his hamstring on Sunday in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was unable to practice leading up to Thursday's game. The good news is that the 28-year-old will have extra time to get ready for a potential return in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos. Without Slayton in the fold in a tough matchup against Philly, Wan'Dale Robinson should be the favorite target of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in the passing game, with Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins also starting in three-wide sets. Tight ends Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger should also be more involved in the passing attack on Thursday.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs is coming off by far his best game of the season in Week 4, with an awesome three-touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Doubs looks to keep that momentum going post-bye in Week 6 as the Packers host the Cincinnati Bengals. Week 4's final stat line against the Cowboys, aside from the touchdowns, was Doubs catching 6-of-8 targets for 58 yards. On the season, Doubs is tied with tight end Tucker Kraft with 19 targets and is second to Kraft in receptions and yards. Despite the raw totals, Doubs is averaging less than five targets, just over three receptions, and 45 yards in per-game statistics. With bye weeks here for fantasy, Doubs is a little bit of a reach for fantasy lineups, but in a good matchup against the Bengals in Week 6, Doubs is merely a low-end flex option for fantasy managers.
