Darius Slayton - Page 28 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Provides big plays Slayton recorded five receptions on seven targets for 93 yards in Week 10 against the Eagles.

Impact Slayton made an immediate impact for the Giants, recording a 22-yard reception on the second play of the game. He was then forced off the field due to a shoulder injury, but returned to provide explosive gains of 16 and 40 yards to help clinch a victory in the fourth quarter. Slayton now has eight receptions of greater than 20 yards and two for 40 or more yards on the season. Even with the splash play ability, Slayton has been a boom or bust option, surpassing 90 yards in three contests but less than 50 in five games. The Giants have a bye in Week 11, but Slayton will look to build on this effort in Week 12 against the Bengals.

Returns to action Slayton, who had been forced out of Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a shoulder injury, was able to return to the contest, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Slayton thus rejoins the Giants' Week 10 wide receiver corps, which also includes Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Austin Mack.

Hurts shoulder Sunday Slayton left Sunday's game versus the Eagles due to a shoulder injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact After landing on his left arm at the end of a 22-yard catch on the first drive of the contest, Slayton went to the sideline and soon after to the locker room. He was deemed questionable to return, but in the meantime, Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Evan Engram will be the Giants' primary pass catchers.

Leaves Sunday's game Slayton (undisclosed) went to the locker room during the first possession of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Slayton landed on his left arm while making a 22-yard catch and immediately left the field. The nature and extent of the injury are unknown, but Stapleton implied Slayton may be getting X-rays.

Tate apologizes for outburst, says it 'won't happen again'

New York Giants receiver Golden Tate apologized for an outburst that caused coach Joe Judge to leave him home before last week’s game at Washington

NOVEMBER 13, 2020 • Associated Press

Bottoms out against Washington Slayton caught his lone target for six yards and added a two-yard carry in Sunday's 23-20 win over Washington.

Impact Perhaps with Golden Tate (coach's decision) benched, Washington was able to key in on shutting down Slayton, allowing Daniel Jones to target 10 other pass catchers. Nevertheless, it's disappointing that the second-year wide receiver finished with season lows in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Slayton always has big-play potential and could be the best wideout on the team, but he's otherwise a replacement-level fantasy asset in games where he doesn't score a touchdown, averaging 2.7 receptions and 27 receiving yards per game.

Catches five passes Slayton caught five of nine targets for 56 yards in Monday night's 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Slayton made a great fourth-down reception to extend New York's final offensive drive, but his night was otherwise marred by failed deep connections with Daniel Jones. The speedster never got on the same page as his quarterback, missing a few big-play opportunities in the process. Despite those disappointments, Slayton still trailed only Sterling Shepard in receptions while nearly hitting double digits in targets. That involvement bodes well ahead of Week 9's matchup against Washington.

Quiet in loss to Eagles Slayton caught two of four targets for 23 yards Thursday in the Giants' 22-21 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Slayton's practice activity heading into the contest was limited to due a foot issue, but being shadowed by top Eagles corner Darius Slay for most of the night likely hindered the wideout's production more than the injury. In addition, the return of Sterling Shepard (toe) from a four-game layoff left fewer looks available for Slayton, who had averaged 7.2 targets per game during that former's absence. Slayton's fantasy outlook won't be any rosier in the Giants' next game on Nov. 2, when he'll be facing off against a Buccaneers defense that has graded out as the NFL's toughest versus receivers this season, per Pro Football Focus.

Ready for Thursday Slayton (foot) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact For the second week in a row, Slayton's practice reps were capped due to a foot injury, but it won't impact his ability to suit up for game day. Facing Washington this past Sunday, he managed a typical workload (83 percent of the snaps on offense) while totaling two catches (on four targets) for 41 yards and one TD.

Limited again Tuesday Slayton (foot) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton maintained his listing in the first two days of the week, but the Giants actually held a walkthrough Tuesday, which may indicate the second-year wideout is attempting to gut out a foot injury. He played through the concern this past Sunday against Washington, tallying a season-low two catches for 41 yards. Fortunately for Slayton, he salvaged his stat line with a 23-yard TD. He'll attempt to bump from LP to FP on Wednesday, at which point the Giants will give an indication of his availability for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

OCTOBER 19, 2020 • Associated Press

Listed as limited participant Slayton (foot) is listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's win over Washington, but he managed to play through his foot injury while corralling two of four targets for 41 yards and a score. The second-year pro did see his lowest snap share (83 percent) and target count of the season, so it's clear that the foot issue limited him, which makes it encouraging to see the Giants expect he would've practiced to begin this week. Slayton will work to upgrade to full practice activity ahead of Thursday's contest in Philadelphia.

Gets into end zone Week 6 Slayton brought in two of four targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 20-19 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday. He also lost three yards on his sole rush.

Impact Slayton looked like he might be headed to a bigger day when he notched a 23-yard scoring grab in the left corner of the end zone late in the first quarter. However, the second-year speedster ultimately logged his lowest target count of the season, which led to his second-fewest receiving yards of the campaign. The Auburn product's visit to the end zone was his first since Week 1, and he'll look to repeat the feat at the expense of the Eagles in a Thursday night Week 7 battle.
