Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Tutu Atwell

Saturday, November 8, 10:33 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is coming off his best game of the season and will look to build on his momentum during Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. The 28-year-old continues to operate as the Giants' No. 2 receiver behind Wan'Dale Robinson, and his fantasy managers can let out a sigh of relief after New York opted against adding any receivers to compete with Slayton at the trade deadline. He had five catches for 62 yards last week, handling seven targets on an impressive 89 percent snap share. The Bears have struggled to defend the pass this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Slayton can be deployed as a solid WR3/flex option in most leagues.

The Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Now that he's on IR, Atwell will be forced to miss at least four games and won't be eligible to return until Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 30. The 26-year-old has been a depth option for the Rams' WR corps this year, but he did have a two-week streak with three catches, 160 yards and a touchdown as a deep threat for quarterback Matthew Stafford. He was unable to capitalize on Puka Nacua's (ankle) absence in Week 6 in London in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he played just 10 offensive snaps due to his hamstring injury. While Atwell is on the shelf, look for Jordan Whitting to play a bigger role as a complementary piece behind Nacua and Davante Adams, who have been target hogs in the Rams' passing attack.
