Slayton caught four of six targets for 58 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins.
Slayton paced the team in receiving yards Saturday, showing a nice rapport with backup QB Jameis Winston. Winston connected with Slayton on his first two passes of the game, picking up gains of six and 29 yards. Starting QB Jaxson Dart was rested Saturday and WR Malik Nabers (knee) has yet to be cleared for game action. Slayton is trying to hold off newcomers Calvin Austin, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields and Odell Beckham for a starting spot once Nabers returns to claim one of the starting roles on the outside.
