Darius Slayton News
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is expected to remain a starter despite the addition of first-round pick Malik Nabers, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan notes that while Slayton has expressed frustration about his current contract status, the pass-catcher is expected to open the 2024 campaign as New York's No. 2 receiver behind Nabers. Such an alignment would push Jalin Hyatt into the No. 3 role, at least to start the year. Isaiah Hodgins, Isaiah McKenzie, and Gunner Olszewski would round out the depth chart. With uncertainty at quarterback and increased competition in the passing game, Slayton isn't a very enticing name for the 2024 fantasy football season. In all likelihood, he'll open the year on the fringe of rosters and waiver wires in most 12-team redraft formats.
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has not yet reported to voluntary offseason workouts this week, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. The 27-year-old is seeking a contract extension after posting 50 receptions for 770 yards and four touchdowns last season. He led the team in receiving yards last year, and he has done so in four of the last five campaigns. He's due to make $6.2 million in 2024. Although Slayton is far from a fantasy football superstar, he's been productive at times -- making this a situation worth monitoring. He should be a top wideout target in New York's offense once again, though they might take a wideout in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and second-year receiver Jalin Hyatt could take on a larger role.
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (thumb) had surgery on his right thumb after the season but should be fine and ready to go for training camp, the preseason and the start of the 2024 campaign this fall. Slayton also said he's glad the offensive staff is staying mostly intact heading into next season. "It'll help all of us to have one less learning curve," Slayton said. The 27-year-old pass-catcher didn't miss a single game in 2023 and finished with a career-high-tying 50 catches on a team-high 79 targets for a career-high 770 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. Quarterback Daniel Jones only played in six games due to injuries, too, so there could be some more upside for Slayton as the team's No. 1 receiver in 2024 if he can stay healthy.
