New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton hopes to see his snap counts bump back up following a neck injury in Week 11. The veteran was listed as doubtful in the following game but was a surprise active. Likely due to the lack of preparation, Slayton saw his snap shares dip into the 50 percent range. Before the injury, he had been a staple on the outside of the New York offense, albeit with limited production. His 435 receiving yards leads the team but ranks 70th in the entire NFL. Slayton can remain on the waiver wire across all fantasy football formats.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is a fairly consistent, but middling option for fantasy football as the Giants return from their bye week. The second-year wideout earns an average of 4.5 targets per game and hasn't topped five since Week 6. Twice in the last four weeks, Robinson's receiving total landed on 35 yards. Those were the highest marks in that stretch. His average depth of target offers little upside and he doesn't receive enough targets to make up for it in PPR formats. Robinson does not need to be rostered in any re-draft leagues.
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is fresh off of the first 100-yard performance of his career and followed that with a bye week. Frequently, teams use the time off to better integrate their young offensive weapons that haven't fully emerged yet. Still, for fantasy football, Hyatt remains more of a stash candidate than a plug-and-play option. The Giants' passing offense still ranks as the worst in the NFL, so it's tough to trust anyone on that side of the football (outside of Saquon Barkley). Hyatt is the most exciting option of the receivers in New York but is a mid-range WR4 in the grand scheme of things.
New York Giants running back Matt Breida is still the immediate backup for starter Saquon Barkley but remains off of fantasy radars otherwise. The veteran has logged a total of 10 touches over the last four games, averaging just slightly over 20 percent of the snaps. At this time of the season, however, it can benefit fantasy managers to keep the backup of their star running back on their roster. Bench depth isn't as much of a priority as the playoffs arrive. Breida still fits that bill, but there's no reason for him to be anywhere near starting lineups in Week 14 against the Packers.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is a locked-and-loaded RB1 for the team's Monday night matchup against Green Bay. The Packers allow the third-most rushing yards per game and seventh-most to just running backs. The New York offense still rides and dies with their star running back, meaning ample opportunities are on the way in Week 14. Barkley is averaging over four yards per carry on the ground this season and adds over three catches per contest. Expect 15-20 touches in a plus matchup for the former Pro Bowler on Monday.
