BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a monster outing in Week 10 against the Jets. He was targetted a whopping 14 times in the game and caught 10 passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns. It was his second multi-touchdown game in his past three outings.
Slayton is quite clearly becoming one of quarterback Daniel Jones' favorite targets. Slayton and Golden Tate have consistently led the Giants in snaps at wide receiver by a significant margin since Sterling Shepard (concussion) last played in Week 5. Shepard could very well miss additional games, potentially the rest of the season, and that makes Slayton a viable WR3 or flex option in most leagues going forward.
Slayton is a must-add for anyone who needs wide receiver help in leagues of 14 or more teams and he's a worthy add in more shallow leagues as well. The Giants have a bye in Week 11, then return to face the Bears in Week 12. After that, their schedule is extremely favorable with matchups against the Packers, Eagles, Dolphins and Redskins from Week 13 to 16.
