• Giants' Darius Slayton: Placed in concussion protocol

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Slayton has been placed in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Slayton was evaluated for a head injury late in the fourth quarter, and the tests revealed a concussion. The veteran wide receiver will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he can resume playing. Slayton's placement in concussion protocol could affect the interest in him from other teams prior to the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

• Giants' Darius Slayton: Hits for another long gain Monday

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Slayton brought in four of seven targets for 108 yards in the Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night. Slayton led the Giants in receiving yards with his second-highest total of the campaign. The veteran wideout also commanded a lot more of Daniel Jones' attention after logging only one target Week 7, and Slayton now has a combined 30 looks in the past four contests. The speedster could still thrive if embattled head coach Brian Daboll opts to make a change at quarterback from Jones to Drew Lock heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Commanders, considering Lock has shown a willingness to throw deep throughout his career.

• Giants' Darius Slayton: Quiet in Nabers' return

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Slayton caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Philadelphia. With star rookie Malik Nabers out the previous two weeks due to a concussion, Slayton had stepped up as one of QB Daniel Jones' primary targets, totaling 14 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown. However, Nabers returned Sunday, and Slayton predictably faded back into a lesser role. New York's offense struggled as a whole in the contest -- the team totaled a meager 105 passing yards -- and Slayton was on the field for all 58 of the team's snaps, so there's reason to believe the performance was a low point rather than a new norm. Still, it's been pretty clear this season that the veteran wideout is going to struggle to put up useful fantasy numbers whenever the frequently targeted Nabers is on the field.

• Giants' Darius Slayton: Stays limited in practice

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Slayton (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. With back-to-back capped sessions in his back pocket this week due to a groin injury, Slayton will have only one more chance for full participation in practice Friday before the Giants potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. Standout rookie WR Malik Nabers reached the final phase of the concussion protocol Thursday, while Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) practiced fully, so Slayton seemingly is the least healthy of the Giants' top options at the position at the moment.
