Darius Slay Fantasy

The Detroit Lions have talked with multiple teams about a potential trade for Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay, according to sources. However, any team that trades for Slay must compensate the Lions and Slay with a new deal, and Detroit is determined to get fair value for Slay. The 29-year-old former second-round pick in 2013 has been to three straight Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro in 2017 when he had a career-high eight interceptions and 26 passes defensed. He had 46 total tackles in 2019 (36 solo), two interceptions and one fumble recovery in his 14 games played. If the Lions trade Slay, they will certainly need to address the position in free agency or the draft.

The Detroit Lions and Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay continue to discuss a long-term contract extension, but the expectation remains that he could re-enter the trade market if no deal is reached in the coming weeks, according to a source. Slay is eligible to become a free agent after next season. The 29-year-old totaled 46 tackles (36 solo), one fumble recovery and two interceptions in 14 games for Detroit in 2019. When healthy, he was the team's best cover corner. If the Lions can't work out an extension with him, he should have no shortage of teams looking to deal for him this offseason.

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) is active for Week 9 against the Raiders. Defensive tackle Damon Harrison (groin) is also active, giving the Lions a boost against the Oakland offense on Sunday. However, defensive back Tracy Walker (knee) and defensive tackle Mike Daniels (foot) are out. Slay's return to action is bad news for Raiders wideout Tyrell Williams, who will be looking to score in his sixth straight game in 2019. Williams is a low-volume, low-upside WR3 for fantasy owners despite the good matchup.
