New York Giants WR Darius Slayton could be behind several other pass-catchers in the Giants' receiver pecking order, as Slayton suited up for their preseason game against the Miami Dolphins while WRs Malachi Fields, Darnell Mooney, and Braxton Berrios were all given the day off, in the opinion of ESPN's Jordan Raanan on Saturday, Aug. 22.
Huddle Up: Slayton earned six targets and caught four passes for 58 yards, so it's curious to see Slayton get so much time. There could be something to this, but to be fair, we weren't drafting Slayton in fantasy anyway. It'll be interesting to see how a room like this with so many options shakes out when the rosters are trimmed to 53. That said, ignore Slayton in fantasy drafts, but Fields and even Mooney are worthwhile dart throws in very deep fantasy formats.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (hernia) will not be placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list despite missing most of the offseason workouts because of hernia surgery.
Huddle Up: Slayton is in line to be one of the starting receivers for the Giants if he stays healthy and will probably see a few targets each game. He can be a late round pick in leagues but is unlikely to be a starting option most weeks.

New York Giants WR Malachi Fields is considered a wild card to start opposite WR Malik Nabers, with veteran WR Darnell Mooney expected to be in the slot. WR Darius Slayton returns, and he is a downfield threat, but he also has had trouble with drops in the past.
Huddle Up: Fields is a player who will need a huge training camp and preseason. For fantasy purposes, he is a strong selection in the later rounds in redraft leagues, and in the middle rounds in dynasty formats.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (hernia) should be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing sports hernia surgery this offseason, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Huddle Up: Slayton is in line to be one of the top three receivers for the Giants this upcoming season, so fantasy players can keep an eye on his situation. He should see a handful of targets each game if healthy and can be a late round pick in some leagues.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (abdomen) underwent surgery to repair a core muscle and will miss spring activities. He's expected to be ready for training camp.
Huddle Up: Slayton will be in the mix for the top-three receivers on the depth chart, but they took Notre Dame WR Malachi Fields in the third round. Slayton will be a WR5 flyer, and this will be a make-or-break season for him after a 37-538-1 line last season.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton caught four of nine targets for 34 yards in a Week 18 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Slayton finished the season with 37 receptions and one touchdown and at this point is not worth a draft pick in 2026.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton posted two receptions for 36 yards on three targets in Week 17 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Huddle Up: Slayton should have improved his fantasy appeal once Malik Nabers went down for the season, but he never really rose above being an occasional WR4 or WR5 for the entirety of the season. Heading into 2026, his fantasy outlook is murky, at best.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton caught one of his two targets for eight yards during a 16-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Slayton is already an erratic performer from one game to the next, and it doesn't help when Jaxson Dart completes just seven passes and only attempts 13. There will be better days ahead for Slayton, but he is a volatile WR4/WR5.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton caught four of his 10 targets for 53 yards in a 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 15.
Huddle Up: Slayton's 10 targets were more than he had in his three previous games combined, and while he has had a few solid outings, the lack of consistency makes him more of a WR4 than a weekly starting option.
