Darius Slayton News
Monday, July 20, 5:59 PM
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has seen his role in the offense drop in recent years. Over the last two seasons, Slayton has finished with fewer than 600 receiving yards both years. During that span, Slayton has scored a total of three touchdowns, which is fewer than in his 2023 campaign. The expectation was that Slayton would have a larger role once Malik Nabers (knee) went down, but that didn't really happen. Now, Nabers is expected to return at some point this season, and the Giants have added reinforcements. They've signed Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, and Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason. The Giants also drafted Malachi Field in the third-round of this year's draft. There's becoming too many bodies in New York and not enough targets for everyone. The 29-year-old may get lost in the shuffle with all the new weapons for Jaxson Dart in 2026.

Travis Hunter News
Monday, July 27, 12:12 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter was shown sprinting and running routes in rehabilitation footage released by the team as he works back from surgery to repair an isolated LCL injury in his right knee. Hunter injured the knee during an Oct. 30 practice and underwent surgery on Nov. 11, ending his rookie season after seven games. Head coach Liam Coen said during June minicamp that Hunter reached 22.6 mph in a rehabilitation sprint, though that speed was recorded on June 9 rather than during training camp. Hunter caught 28 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown while adding 15 tackles and three passes defensed as a rookie. Jacksonville plans to continue using him on both sides of the ball, with general manager James Gladstone saying his cornerback workload should increase. The footage and verified speed mark are positive signs, but workout results do not establish Hunter's training-camp workload or how much offensive work he will retain in 2026. His practice participation and role distribution remain the key fantasy developments to monitor.
