Giants' Darius Slayton: Team's leading receiver in Week 9
Rotowire
Slayton caught five of seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers.
Slayton led the Giants in receiving yards despite making four fewer catches than Wan'Dale Robinson, who finished with only 46 receiving yards. Slayton will likely continue to play a significant role in Week 10 against the Bears as the top downfield target for Jaxson Dart in the injury-riddled Giants offense.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Slayton returned from a two-game absence with a hamstring injury in Week 8 at Philadelphia and finished with two catches for 26 yards on five targets. However, he had a 68-yard touchdown called back in the fourth quarter due to a questionable pass interference call, and hopefully we'll continue to see him make those plays moving forward. He should do well playing off Wan'Dale Robinson as a go-to option for Jaxson Dart, and Slayton is worth adding in all leagues for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Has long TD called back in return
Rotowire
Slayton (hamstring) caught two of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Eagles.
Slayton's stat line would have looked much better if his 68-yard fourth-quarter touchdown catch hadn't been called back due to a ticky-tack offensive pass interference call. Even so, Slayton still led the Giants in targets in his return from a two-game absence. With Malik Nabers (knee) done for the year and Wan'Dale Robinson rarely capable of contributing more than a few yards beyond the line of scrimmage, Slayton should continue to work as Jaxson Dart's top downfield target in Week 9 against the 49ers.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Cleared for action
Rotowire
Slayton (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Giants coach Brian Daboll hinted at this Friday morning when he told reporters that Slayton looked good during practice the past two days. Slayton should jump right back in as a starter, as the Giants don't have much else besides Wan'Dale Robinson at wide receiver.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Coach optimistic for Week 8 return
Rotowire
Head coach Brain Daboll said Friday that he's optimistic about Slayton's (hamstring) availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles after Slayton had "two good days" of practice Wednesday and Thursday, Dan Solomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton was listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday. Barring an upgrade to full participation Friday, Slayton may carry a questionable designation into Sunday's game after sitting out the Giants' past two contests. Daboll's optimism suggests Slayton will likely suit up barring a setback.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Stays limited in practice
Rotowire
Slayton (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton has kicked off Week 8 prep with a pair of limited practices, but because he hasn't played since Week 5 due to the hamstring injury, he may need to turn in a full practice Friday in order to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game in Philadelphia. With Malik Nabers (knee) lost for the season, Slayton should be in line for a prominent role in the Giants' passing attack for the second half of the campaign once he's cleared to play.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Won't play against Denver
Rotowire
Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton has not practiced since injuring his hamstring during the Giants' Week 5 loss to the Saints. The seventh-year wideout will be sidelined for a second straight game due to his injury, and he'll work to progress enough in his recovery to return in Week 8 against the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 26. Lil'Jordan Humphrey should be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for a second-straight week to join the Giants' wide receiver corps that consists of Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Doubtful for Week 7
Rotowire
Slayton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Giants' Darius Slayton: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Slayton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton injured his hamstring during the Giants' Week 5 loss at New Orleans and hasn't practiced in the meantime, sitting out last Thursday's win against the Eagles in the process. He'll have two more chances this week to mix into drills before New York potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at Denver.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Not expected to play Thursday
Rotowire
Slayton (hamstring) is not expected to be available for Thursday's home game against the Eagles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Slayton suffered a hamstring injury during New York's loss to the Saints on Sunday, and he was listed as a non-participant at practice both Monday and Tuesday. He's expected to be officially declared out with the release of Wednesday's practice report, which Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports would pave the way for Lil'Jordan Humphrey to be elevated from the practice squad for Thursday's matchup and play a role on offense behind Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Sidelined for practice
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Slayton (hamstring) won't take part in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
After tweaking his hamstring in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints, Slayton could be hard-pressed to make a full recovery from the injury ahead of the Giants' Week 6 matchup with the Eagles on Thursday night. Daboll suggested that Slayton is trending toward being a game-time decision for Thursday, though the Giants will wait until Wednesday before formally giving the wideout a designation heading into the contest. If Slayton can't rally to play on a short week, the Giants would be left with Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski as their available options at receiver. New York has three receivers on its practice squad (Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Dalen Cambre) as potential candidates for elevation in Week 6.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Rotowire
Slayton (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton pulled up lame in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Saints, and now the Giants have a short week ahead of Thursday night's game against the Eagles. If Slayton is unable to play Week 6, Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins figure to see every-down snaps alongside slot man Wan'Dale Robinson, though the Giants could use more two-tight end sets featuring Daniel Bellinger.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Injures hamstring Sunday
Rotowire
Slayton sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Slayton was seen limping on the sideline in the fourth quarter before the Giants considered him questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, Slayton will finish Week 5 action with three catches (on six targets) for 31 yards and a lost fumble.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Week 5 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Malik Nabers missed two games last year and Darius Slayton caught 14 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown in those two games. He saw 11 targets in both games. The Giants threw 75 passes in those two games, and I don't expect anything close to that from Dart, but Slayton could still be useful, if not as awesome as he was last year.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Malik Nabers (ACL) is out for the season, and Slayton will likely be the No. 1 receiver for the Giants moving forward. Nabers missed two games in 2024, and Slayton had 22 targets for 14 catches, 179 yards and a touchdown over that span. Hopefully, Jaxson Dart will lean on Slayton, who finished Week 4 against the Chargers with three catches for 44 yards on four targets in the game when Nabers was injured. Slayton is worth adding in all leagues for at least 15 percent of your remaining FAB.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Stays limited Thursday
Rotowire
Slayton (calf) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he tends to a calf issue, and he'll now have just one more opportunity to practice in full this week before the Giants potentially hand him a designation prior to Sunday's contest versus the Chargers. If he's able to avoid being inactive this weekend, he'll be working with rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart, who is taking over for veteran Russell Wilson.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Slayton (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
It's a new injury after Slayton played just 64 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Chiefs (he was on the field for 94.3 percent of New York's snaps this season beforehand). Coincidence or not, Slayton's ability to practice in any capacity at the start of the week suggests he's on track to play this Sunday against the Chargers in what will be the first career start for Giants QB Jaxson Dart.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Perfect on four targets
Rotowire
Slayton recorded four receptions on four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.
The Giants couldn't get much going with their passing offense, consistently targeting their top playmakers on deep passes. Slayton was the exception, as he saw the majority of his opportunities in the short areas of the field, with his longest gain going for 14 yards. While Slayton notched a season high in targets and receptions, both Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson will likely continue to be prioritized ahead of him in the offense.
