Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Tyler Allgeier

Saturday, October 18, 2:09 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos, per Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This marks the second straight missed game for Slayton, who has recorded 12 catches for 166 yards on 18 targets across the five games he's been healthy for in 2025. With both Slayton and Malik Nabers (knee) sidelined, Giants wideout Wan'Dale Robinson should see a healthy dose of targets from quarterback Jaxson Dart. Wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey could serve as the team's WR2, as he saw eight targets with Slayton out in Week 6. Still, in a tough matchup against Denver, Robinson is likely the only Giants pass-catcher worth starting for fantasy managers in Week 7.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier scored for the third time in his last four games in Week 6, and while he also logged double-digit carries for the fourth time this season, the 25-year-old tallied just 3.2 yards per carry, which was buoyed by a 21-yard run that amounted to the bulk of his 32 total yards. Although he likely can't keep up this touchdown pace, the fourth-year pro has carved out a solid role as the No. 2 back in Atlanta, and as long as the game remains competitive, Allgeier figures to get enough work to keep him in the Flex conversation. A competitive game appears to be in the cards in Week 7 against the 49ers, so the BYU product sets up as a high-end RB4/Flex play, but fantasy managers should be aware that if he doesn't find the end zone, there will be little fantasy production to be had as the 5-foot-10 running back is not a factor in the passing game.
