Darius Slayton Injury Update for Fantasy Football
No significant development regarding Darius Slayton's arm injury has been reported as of yet. He is currently designated as questionable to play in Week 12 against the Patriots. So far, he hasn't missed a single game this season.
Last season, he missed one game due to a hamstring injury, and in the season before it, the Giants wideout missed four games. He rarely gets hurt, so expect him to play on Sunday.
After the game against the Patriots, they'll face the Green Bay Packers, the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Philadelphia Eagles twice. Due to this, they might not win any other game if they lose this coming Sunday. They are projected to get a top-10 draft pick and could draft a top wide receiver with it.
Darius Slayton Fantasy Football Outlook
As mentioned earlier, Darius Slayton has played all 11 games for the Giants this season. In those games, he has 30 receptions for 419 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. He is currently averaging 14.0 yards per reception and 38.1 receiving yards per game.
The Giants have had a terrible season so far, and even if DeVito played well against the Commanders, it will be hard for him to replicate the same performance going forward. With how things currently shape up, Slayton is not an ideal player to use for your fantasy football teams.
Heading into Week 12, he has recorded a total of 77.9 points in full PPR scoring leagues. He is averaging just 7.1 fantasy points per game, and the RotoBaller staff has him ranked #65 among WRs.
