Colts WR Darius Slayton is a healthy scratch vs. the Commanders today, despite the team missing WRs Alec Pierce and Keenan Allen. Active for Indianapolis today:
The Colts' passing game should flow through Downs and TE Tyler Warren today.
Colts WR Keenan Allen (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday morning's game vs. the Commanders in London. He opened the week with two limited practices before missing Friday's workout. We'll see if Allen misses more time beyond Week 4. With WR Alec Pierce on IR, Indianapolis is down to WRs Josh Downs, Darius Slayton, Laquon Treadwell, Ashton Dulin, and Deion Burks. We'll see if Slayton is ready to make his Colts debut after signing a couple of weeks ago, but he's not a realistic Week 4 fantasy start. Downs and TE Tyler Warren should control targets for the Colts this week.
The Colts are signing WR Darius Slayton, according to Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. The move comes on the same day that we found out Alec Pierce will miss multiple weeks after aggravating a heel injury that required surgery over the summer.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Colts WR Alec Pierce will miss at least several weeks and "likely" land on IR for the heel he re-injured Sunday night against the Chiefs.
Update: Pierce has been placed on IR, knocking him out for at least the next 4 games.
The Giants on Monday released WR Darius Slayton. It's a surprising move but shouldn't come as a total shock. SNY's John Flanigan says Slayton "was said to have been on the bubble ahead of last weekend's roster cutdown." But that Slayton stuck around through that before getting ousted makes it a little stranger. The 29-year-old has been with the team since 2019 and was signed through 2027. The move doesn't appear to save the Giants any money or cap space. That could signal the team feels the need to add a player at another position.
The Athletic's Dan Duggan believes Giants WR Malachi Fields is making a push for the No. 2 WR job following his preseason debut on Saturday. Fields worked in with the first-team offense in that one, running a route on 4 of QB Jaxson Dart's 7 dropbacks. He caught all 3 of his targets for 34 yards, including a 15-yard TD from Dart.
Giants third-round WR Malachi Fields stood out at rookie minicamp, with ESPN’s Jordan Raanan highlighting his work over the middle and HC John Harbaugh praising his slants and a contested catch over a defender.
Giants WR Darius Slayton recently underwent surgery to address a core-muscle injury, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Slayton will miss spring workouts but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Garafolo adds.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Giants are expected to sign WR Darnell Mooney to a one-year deal worth "up to" $10 million. Mooney spent the past two years with the Falcons after arriving as a free agent, but the team released him ahead of the final season of that contract. He played his first four years in Chicago, where Mooney interestingly posted his two largest reception-per-game rates in his first and second seasons (3.8 and 4.8).
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (rib) and TE Theo Johnson (illness) are out for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. That leaves New York without its top two targets. Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins will lead the WR room, with Daniel Bellinger handling lead TE duties. The matchup against Dallas makes those guys more intriguing fantasy options. QB Jaxson Dart's Week 18 outlook takes a hit sans Robinson and Johnson.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 12 injury report. He returned to limited practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. Slayton carries elevated risk coming off the hamstring, but he should slide back in as an every-down player opposite WR Wan’Dale Robinson.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That at least gives him a chance to play vs. the Lions this weekend, but we'll see what Slayton does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. That doesn't bode well for his chances of returning for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. Isaiah Hodgins and Jalin Hyatt operated as New York's No. 2 and 3 WRs behind Wan'Dale Robinson last week.
