Darius Slayton - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes most of two catches Slayton recorded two receptions on three targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Raiders.

Impact Wan'Dale Robinson was the focal point of the Giants' offense, but Slayton played well in a complementary role. He tallied long catches of 21 and 15 yards, both of which helped set up scoring plays for the team. Despite the efficiency, Slayton has now seen three or fewer targets in four of his last five games.

Jaxson Dart has his least productive NFL start in the Giants' ninth consecutive loss

Jaxson Dart had by far his fewest passing completions, attempts and yards of his first 10 NFL starts in the New York Giants' loss to Minnesota

DECEMBER 22 • Associated Press

Held to one catch in Week 16 loss Slayton caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Minnesota.

Impact On a day when New York logged 30 rushing plays and went to the air just 13 times, Slayton's eight receiving yards represented nearly a quarter of QB Jaxson Dart's paltry total of 33 passing yards. Slayton also tied for the second-most targets on the team (two), and only No. 1 wideout Wan'Dale Robinson finished with more receiving yards (19). Given the extreme run-heavy approach Sunday, not much should be taken away from any Giants pass-catcher's performance, but it's worth observing that Slayton has logged two or fewer receptions in three of his past four contests. A matchup against the Raiders' uninspiring secondary awaits in Week 17, though it should be interesting to see how both teams approach that game as the "loser" of the contest will have the clear inside track to the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL Draft.

Four catches against Commanders Slayton caught four of 10 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to Washington.

Impact The 10 targets were a season high for Slayton, but the volume didn't lead to much production. The veteran wideout has a mediocre 30-460-1 line on 50 targets through 11 games on the season, giving him little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 16 meeting with the Vikings.

Cashes in Dart's only TD pass Slayton finished with two receptions on three targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Slayton wound up being the beneficiary of Jaxson Dart's (concussion) only touchdown strike in the rookie signal-caller's return to action Monday night. The 28-year-old Slayton finished well behind fellow starter Wan'Dale Robinson and TE Theo Johnson in terms of targets (eight apiece), so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to the former's first trip to the end zone in 2025. The Giants will be on a bye in Week 14, with Slayton profiling as only a deep-league option in fantasy when the team resumes play on Dec. 14.

Will play against New England Slayton (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton's practice reps were limited during Week 13 prep due to a hamstring issue, but he and Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) have both been given the green light to play Monday. The wide receiver duo will be catching passes from Jaxson Dart after the rookie QB cleared the league's concussion protocol. Slayton has caught 24 passes (on 37 targets) for 366 yards across nine regular-season games.

Remains limited Friday Slayton (hamstring) was limited in practice Friday.

Impact Slayton and fellow WR Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) have been listed as limited on both of the Giants' practice reports so far this week, meaning they'll have just one more chance to prove their respective levels of health before the team potentially gives them designations ahead of Monday's contest in New England. If Robinson is active Week 13, he'll be working with rookie QB Jaxson Dart, who cleared the concussion protocol Friday.

Limited on practice estimate Slayton (hamstring) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton has been dealing with a lingering hamstring injury since early October and was sidelined for each of Weeks 6, 7 and 11. He was able to return to action this past Sunday in Detroit, but his 63 percent snap share resulted in just one catch (on two targets) for 23 yards. Fellow WR Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) also was listed as limited Thursday, so the status of the Giants' top two options at the position is up in the air as they prepare for Monday's contest at New England. Meanwhile, rookie QB Jaxson Dart has cleared the concussion protocol, so Slayton will be working with his typical starting signal-caller if he's active himself Week 13.

One catch in return Slayton caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions.

Impact Slayton announced his return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury with a 23-yard catch on the game's first play, but he didn't catch his only other target the rest of the way. Jameis Winston threw for 366 yards, but Wan'Dale Robinson was Winston's go-to receiver, as Robinson caught nine of 14 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown. Slayton has yet to score a touchdown heading into a Week 13 road game against the Patriots, and he has topped 60 receiving yards only three times, though two of those three games came in Slayton's last two outings prior to his hamstring injury.

Cleared to return Slayton (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Detroit, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and apparently didn't need long to prove his readiness. He'll jump back in as a starter after a one-game absence, now catching passes from Jameis Winston instead of Jaxson Dart, who will miss a second straight game due to a concussion.

Limited in return to practice Slayton (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton thus was back on the practice field for the first time since he hurt his hamstring Week 10 at Chicago, but he was contained to individual drills, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Friday's injury report will reveal Slayton's odds to suit up Sunday in Detroit, but Wan'Dale Robinson, Isaiah Hodgins, Jalin Hyatt and Gunner Olszewski are the Giants' current healthy wide receivers on the active roster.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Slayton (hamstring) participated in individual drills at Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact This marks Slayton's first notable on-field work since he injured his hamstring Week 10 in Chicago. He worked with the Giants' training staff on the side at Wednesday's session, so he appears to be ramping up his activity level this week. Thursday's injury report will reveal if Slayton was limited or full in his return to practice.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Slayton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton hasn't mixed into any drills since he injured his hamstring during a Week 10 loss in Chicago, but he was spotted working on the side with the Giants' training staff at Wednesday's session, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Slayton will have two more chances this week to put himself in a position to potentially return to action Sunday at Detroit. At the moment, Wan'Dale Robinson, Isaiah Hodgins, Jalin Hyatt and Gunner Olszewski are the healthy wide receivers on the active roster.
