Darius Slayton Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Giants WR Darius Slayton injured a hamstring in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's officially questionable to return, but we'd be surprised to see him back out there. Slayton was off to a nice start before going down, catching all three of his targets for 85 yards.

Update: Slayton returned for the start of the second half.

The forecast for today's Giants-Bears game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up near 30 mph. That's enough to potentially impact play calling (i.e. more running) and passing efficiency. The game's total has dropped from 47 to 45.5. We've docked the projections on both passing games and would stay away from the kickers in this game. See the updated rankings.

After entering Week 9, averaging a career-high 13.0 yards per catch, WR Wan'Dale Robinson had a vintage Wan'Dale outing, accumulating just 46 receiving yards on 9 grabs in New York's 34-24 loss to the 49ers. Robinson averaged over 14 yards per catch in New York's previous 3 games but was unable to get downfield against a San Francisco secondary that allowed 318 receiving yards and 10.6 yards per catch to Houston's pass-catchers in Week 8.

Giants WR Darius Slayton drew a team-high five targets in his return Sunday from a two-week hamstring report. He caught two of them for 26 yards but probably should have added a 6-yard TD in the fourth quarter. Slayton made the catch and scored, but the play got negated by a questionable (to be friendly) offensive PI call.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) was limited in practice all week but is off the final injury report. He’ll be back for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles and is the second-best target bet in the WR corps behind Wan’Dale Robinson. But Slayton lands just 51st in the Week 8 WR rankings.

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.
