Darius Slayton Catches Three Passes In Comeback Win

Sunday, September 17, 11:03 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught three of his six targets for 62 yards in the team's 31-28 victory over Arizona. The 26-year-old was blanked in the first half as the Giants struggled to move the football. Down 20 at the half, Daniel Jones came out slinging and Slayton played his part in the comeback. The former fifth-round pick plays a lot of snaps for New York but doesn't typically give managers a fantasy-worthy performance. He should be avoided in Week 3 when the Giants travel to San Francisco for Thursday Night Football.

Van Jefferson Not An Ideal Start In Week 4

Saturday, September 30, 6:11 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson put together his best game of the season in Week 3, as he hauled in a 46-yard deep ball from Matthew Stafford. This was Jefferson's only catch of the game and one of just three targets, despite playing 93% of all offensive snaps. The 27-year-old receiver has been out-targeted by four different Rams through the first three games, making it clear that he's not someone Stafford is looking for often. Jefferson should be approached as a low-end WR4 at best, and a DFS dart throw in the team's Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
