BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: In the past four weeks, even though Darius Slayton put up a dud in Week 6, there are only 30 receivers with more total PPR points than the Giants receiver. That might sound like a lot of them, but considering there are 32 teams in the NFL, that paints Slayton as a WR1 in his team's offense at the very least.
While that 2.8-PPR outing in Week 6 stunk (1-of-3 receiving, 18 yards), Slayton has otherwise been good for three 11.6+ PPR performances in the past four weeks as he and Daniel Jones have kept their rapport up for a month now. Slayton saw at least 6 targets in all of those three games, caught at least 3 passes, and reached a minimum of 58 yards in all of them too.
Slayton has found a virtual and realistic floor of 10+ PPR weekly now. He's only caught one touchdown on the season (five games played for him) but the yardage has been good and the targets/receptions are viable in terms of volume and actual production.
The Giants are getting a week of rest this upcoming W9 as they're out for their bye, but Slayton is a nice player to stash ahead of W10 and while the byes keep coming if you're needy at the position, are considering some streamers, or just have a gap at your FLEX position.
