Darius Slayton Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. That again leaves Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Jalin Hyatt as the No. 2 and 3 WRs behind Wan’Dale Robinson.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. New York will again trot out WRs Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Jalin Hyatt behind WR Wan’Dale Robinson, who remains the only viable fantasy play in this WR corps.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) is out for Thursday night's game vs the Eagles. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 7, but Slayton won't be a recommended fantasy starter in that game vs. the Broncos or in Week 8 in a rematch against Philly. WR Jalin Hyatt will likely soak up most of Slayton's snaps tomorrow, with WR Beaux Collins also playing more. Neither guy is a viable fantasy play.

In their first game since losing WR Malik Nabers for the season with a torn ACL, the Giants debuted a new TE-heavy scheme with mixed results. New York outproduced New Orleans on offense, but ultimately came up short, giving the Saints their first victory of the season. The Giants had 335 yards of offense, but turned the ball over 5 times in their 26-14 defeat at the Superdome.

Giants WR Darius Slayton suffered a hamstring injury in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Saints. He's officially questionable to return, but don't expect to see him back out there. Slayton caught 3 of 6 targets for 31 yards before exiting. His snaps figure to be soaked up by some combination of Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart delivered a useful fantasy line in his Week 4 starting debut. He completed 13 of 20 passes for 111 yards and 1 score, adding 54 yards and a TD on the ground.

Further testing has confirmed the fear that Giants WR Malik Nabers tore his right ACL in Sunday's win over the Chargers. He'll need surgery and miss the rest of the season. The timing should at least help his chances of being ready for the start of the 2026 season. We'll obviously watch for further details on that front and track his return progress.

Update: Nabers also suffered a partially torn lateral meniscus in his right knee, according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan. But that's not expected to prolong Nabers' rehab.

WR Darius Slayton signed a three-year $36 million deal to stay with the New York Giants. That total is less than they offered RB Saquon Barkley last offseason. Slayton should slot in exactly where he sat in 2024 as the WR3 behind Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson

Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He’s just a desperation WR4 for now but would upgrade to WR3 status if WR Malik Nabers misses this game with his groin injury.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll play against the Bucs this weekend. Tampa Bay ranks 29th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs, but Slayton would be a desperation fantasy play with QB Tommy DeVito.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He figures to be replaced by WR Jalin Hyatt, who’s only a flier in DFS tournaments. Hyatt has drawn a target on just 8% of his routes this season. (Slayton is at 15% for comparison.)

Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He'll need to get back on the practice field tomorrow to have a chance to play vs. the Panthers in Germany on Sunday. At this point, fantasy owners should not be counting on having Slayton for Week 10 fantasy lineups.

Giants WR Darius Slayton sustained a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Commanders. It's his second concussion of the season, with the first coming in the opener. We'll track Slayton's progress through the protocol this coming week, but consider him no better than 50/50 to play vs. the Panthers next Sunday morning in Germany.

Giants WR Malik Nabers returned from a two-game concussion for Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He managed just 4 receptions and 41 yards and even trailed WR Wan'Dale Robinson by 1 target. But Nabers' 8 still accounted for 27.6% of the Giants' total pass attempts. That included 28.6% of QB Daniel Jones' 21 attempts; 25% of replacement QB Drew Lock's eight throws.

Giants WR Darius Slayton was fine in Week 6, tallying 6 receptions for 57 yards in the Sunday night loss to the Bengals. His 11 targets tied WR Wan'Dale Robinson for the team lead, beating his next-nearest teammate by five.
