Is Kadarius Toney Playing In Week 6 Against the Ravens?
Kadarius Toney has not played since Week 2 when he injured his hamstring. Toney will not be making his return this week, as he has already been ruled out for Sunday's contest.
The #Giants ruled out WRs Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) again for Sunday against the #Ravens.

Interestingly, Golladay has also been ruled out. The Giants will be without two of their key weapons as they attempt to get to 5-1 on the year.
Is Darius Slayton Starting In Week 6 Against the Ravens?
With Toney and Golladay both set to be inactive, Darius Slayton will be starting for the Giants against Baltimore. Slayton will be Daniel Jones's top option, with Richie James and David Sills V also in the mix.
Slayton had his best game of the year last week against Green Bay. He caught six of seven targets for 79 yards.
How'd he do that⁉️

Should I Start Darius Slayton or Kadarius Toney This Week?
You should definitely not start Kadarius Toney. He would be scoring zero points for your fantasy team.
As for Slayton, he should not be in your starting lineup unless you're in a pinch at WR. He had a solid performance last week, but the Giants have thrown the fourth-fewest passes in the league. Also, Slayton ran just 15 routes, making his seven targets seem like an outlier. Starting him would be a big risk.
