Bottom Line

Slayton revived his career last year alongside QB Daniel Jones and first-year HC Brian Daboll.

The Giants then showed some trust with a 2-year, $12 million deal. But they didn’t guarantee him a substantial role, either, opting to add several new faces – including TE Darren Waller – to the receiving corps.

Slayton’s ultimately just a deep-league stash.


What We Learned Last Year
  • Slayton was the subject of trade rumors but ultimately returned for a contract year.
  • He rebounded from a down 2021 with 46 catches, 724 yards, and 2 scores. His 15.7 yards per catch set a career high.
  • Among 59 WRs with 70+ targets, Slayton ranked fifth in yards per catch, tied for 27th in yards per route run, and tied for 40th in Pro Football Focus receiving grade.
  • Slayton seemed to get a boost from new HC Brian Daboll, who helped QB Daniel Jones develop.
  • Slayton’s targets increased due in part to season-ending ACL injuries to Wan'Dale Robinson and Sterling Shepard.
    • The Giants also traded Kadarius Toney in October.
    • Kenny Golladay remained a non-factor with only 17 targets.
  • The 2022 Giants ranked just 25th in pass attempts per game; 26th in pass rate.

What to Expect in 2023
  • Slayton returned on a two-year deal with nearly $5 million guaranteed.
  • His target competition increased this offseason. But save for one name, we’re not talking about a group of studs.
    • TE Darren Waller, 31 in September, has battled injuries in back-to-back seasons. But he’s received plenty of buzz this spring and looks like the clear target leader.
  • WR Parris Campbell has his own durability issues, but he’s coming off a personal-best 2022. He’s due only ~$3 million guaranteed on a one-year contract.
  • WR Jamison Crowder knows Daboll from their time in Buffalo. But he’s now 30 and doesn’t profile as anything more than a part-time slot – if he makes the team.
  • WR Jalin Hyatt brings exciting downfield speed, but his game lacks polish. Slipping to Round 3, he’s unlikely to make an instant impact.
    • WR Sterling Shepard is on track to return following a September ACL tear.
    • WR Wan'Dale Robinson suffered an ACL tear in November and is a PUP candidate.

Darren Waller, TE NYG

8:21pm EDT 9/17/23

Darren Waller balls out vs. Cardinals

Giants TE Darren Waller logged 6 catches on a team-leading 8 targets for 76 yards in Week 2’s win vs. the Cardinals. Veteran wideouts Darius Slayton and Parris Campbell received 6 targets in this contest, marking the second week in a row where the pair saw more involvement than their positional counterparts. The concentration of targets in New York is becoming more apparent as fantasy managers look ahead to Thursday night’s Week 3 game vs. the 49ers. Starting a Giants pass-catcher besides Waller in lineups would be bold outside of deeper leagues, though both Slayton and Campbell warrant further monitoring.

Giants TE Darren Waller led the team in receiving with 3 catches on 5 targets for 36 yards in Sunday night’s loss vs. the Cowboys. By halftime, this game was essentially over. There was little that QB Daniel Jones and company could do to kick the offense into gear. WR Darius Slayton matched Waller’s target total throughout the clobbering and tallied 3 catches for 15 yards for himself. There’s not much to draw from this loss. Fantasy managers should have a short memory and hope for a greater showing vs. the Cardinals in Week 2.

After attending 11 training camp practices, Bobby Skinner of Talkin' Giants writes, "I don’t know how you could make an argument for any WR but Darius Slayton leading the room in receiving." Slayton is coming off a WR49 finish in half-PPR points per game and got a two-year, $12 million deal from the Giants this offseason. For some reason, he's the fifth Giants WR in ADP, going 86th among all WRs. He sits much, much higher in our 2023 WR rankings.

WR Darius Slayton re-signed with the Giants on a 2-year, $12 million deal. Slayton has been pretty consistent through 4 NFL seasons, finishing with 46-50 catches and 724-751 receiving yards in 3 of them. That, of course, isn't enough to really get the fantasy juices flowing. Slayton is still just 26 and a candidate to take a step forward in his 2nd season under HC Brian Daboll. But don't consider him more than a WR4 in early best-ball drafts. The Giants' WR corps now reads: Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Wan'Dale Robinson, Parris Campbell, Sterling Shepard.

Related Players Daniel Jones

Giants WR Isaiah Hodgins led all pass-catchers in receiving with 8 receptions on 9 targets with 105 yards and 1 TD in Sunday's Wild Card win vs. the Vikings. Fellow WR Darius Slayton hauled in 4 of his 8 targets for 88 yards. This duo of WRs performed admirably for fantasy purposes but will face a considerably stricter matchup next week vs. the Eagles. The Eagles rank as the 10th-toughest matchup in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs this season.

Dynasty Write-up
Once the subject of trade rumors, Slayton re-emerged in 2022. The Giants rewarded him with a 2-year deal (~$5 million guaranteed). While he figures to handle a starting outside role for ‘23, stiffer target competition makes him an unlikely candidate to break out.
