New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton led the team in receiving yards during Monday night's 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, hauling in four catches for 108 yards on seven targets. Slayton showcased his big-play ability with an impressive 27-yard average per reception, including a 43-yard grab highlighting his field-stretching role in the offense. Despite the high yardage, he could not reach the end zone, limiting his fantasy ceiling in a touchdown-free outing for the Giants. With 12.8 fantasy points, Slayton's deep-threat potential remains valuable in deeper leagues.

New England Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker (illness) and Tyquan Thornton (coach's decision) are inactive for Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Baker has repeatedly been inactive, failing to log an offensive snap since Week 2. While he has typically been sidelined as a coach's decision, he's inactive this week with an illness. That's merely a technicality, of course, as Baker likely would have been a healthy scratch even if he wasn't ill. The rookie is still searching for his first NFL target and will have to wait at least one more week. Thornton, meanwhile, has been the subject of trade rumors lately but lacks significant fantasy appeal; he hasn't registered a reception since catching two passes back in the season opener. Both players can be dropped in all redraft and most dynasty leagues.
Still trying to decide between Slayton and Thornton? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Darius Slayton is projected to score 8.9 points this week while Tyquan Thornton is projected to score 0.3 points.
