Who Should I Start? Russell Gage or Darius Slayton

Sunday, August 20, 8:44 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (knee) has officially been placed on the injured reserve on Sunday. Gage will miss the entire 2023 campaign after suffering a torn patellar tendon during Wednesday's joint practice with the New York Jets. The 27-year-old dealt with multiple injuries last season that limited him to 13 games. He finally looked healthy during training camp, but unfortunately suffered this season-ending injury. Gage will now sit out his third and final year of his contract with Tampa Bay. The Bucs already have Mike Evans and Chris Godwin locked into the first two receiver spots. However, the third wideout job is completely wide open right now. It'll be interesting to see if someone is able to set themselves apart during the final preseason game.

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.
