Giants' Darius Slayton: Gets just one target Week 15
Darius Slayton caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to Baltimore.Slayton's recent trend of poor production continued in the loss, as he's now caught two or fewer passes in four straight games. Even more worrisome is the fact that the veteran wideout was targeted just once in the contest. It doesn't help that the New York Giants' quarterback situation is a mess. With Drew Lock (heel/elbow) unable to play against the Ravens and Tommy DeVito leaving late in the first half due to a concussion, journeyman Tim Boyle ended up playing the entire second half. It's uncertain which of the three signal-callers will be behind center to begin next Sunday's matchup versus the Falcons, but Slayton's outlook isn't bright regardless of who is throwing passes for the team.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Remains afterthought on offense
Darius Slayton caught two of his six targets for 27 yards Sunday in a 14-11 Week 14 loss to the Saints.Malik Nabers entered the weekend deemed questionable to play due to hip and groin injuries, and with some reports indicating that he would be limited even if able to suit up, it looked like Slayton could be in line for increased opportunity. The veteran wideout did technically see a bump in his stats -- his 27 receiving yards marked his highest total since Week 9 -- but he still finished fifth on the team in targets behind wideouts Wan'Dale Robinson (11) and Nabers (10) as well as running back Tyrone Tracy (10) and tight end Daniel Bellinger (seven). Given the poor state of the New York Giants' offense -- they 've scored 20 or fewer points all but one time during their current eight-game losing streak -- and Slayton's increasingly frustrating inefficiency, he's a name to leave on the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Quiet again Week 13
Darius Slayton caught two of six targets for eight yards in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to Dallas.After being held without a catch in a Week 12 loss with Tommy DeVito starting at quarterback for New York, Slayton was only mildly more productive Thursday with Drew Lock behind center. It's unclear which QB will start next Sunday against New Orleans, but either way Slayton's floor has fallen quite low since the departure of Daniel Jones. Among the New York Giants' wideout corps, only Malik Nabers has been able to maintain useful production since the changing of the guard at quarterback.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Shut out in Week 12 blowout loss
Darius Slayton didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 30-7 defeat against the Buccaneers.Slayton missed New York's Week 10 loss to Carolina due to a concussion, and though he was able to return Sunday following the team's Week 11 bye, he was held without a catch for the first time this season. The veteran wideout's two targets in the loss tied a season-low mark, and that number is particularly concerning given that it was New York's first game this season with second-year QB Tommy DeVito -- who put up 31 passes -- starting under center. DeVito seems set to remain the team's lead signal-caller moving forward, and if he continues to focus his attention on Malik Nabers (nine targets), Theo Johnson (six targets) and Wan'Dale Robinson (five targets), Slayton could have a hard time staying involved on offense.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Set to return Sunday
Darius Slayton (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.With confirmation that he's cleared the concussion protocol, Slayton is set for his first game action since Week 9. Elsewhere in New York's receiving corps, Malik Nabers showed up on Friday's injury report as a non-participant due to a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Week 12 action. Nabers himself told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that he intends to suit up Sunday, but if Nabers is inhibited or even inactive, Slayton would stand to benefit in a passing game that will be led by Tommy DeVito now that Daniel Jones has been waived by the team.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Another full practice
Darius Slayton (concussion) remained a full practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Slayton is in the later stages of the concussion protocol following the head injury that he sustained during a Week 9 loss to the Commanders. It's unclear yet whether he's met with an independent neurologist in order to gain clearance to return to action, but he nonetheless appears as if he'll be good to go Sunday against the Buccaneers. If that comes to pass, Slayton will be on the receiving end of passes from QB Tommy DeVito after the Giants demoted Daniel Jones coming out of their Week 11 bye.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Full practice Wednesday
Darius Slayton (concussion) practiced in full Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Slayton made a late departure from a Week 9 loss to the Commanders and subsequently was placed in the concussion protocol. He wasn't able to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in time to travel with the Giants to Germany for a Week 10 matchup with the Panthers, but following the team's bye, he wasn't inhibited in the first session of Week 12 prep. It's unclear if Slayton is out of the concussion protocol, but Wednesday's uncapped practice bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Won't travel to Germany
Darius Slayton (concussion) will not travel with the New York Giants to Germany and will be out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.Slayton was placed in concussion protocol following Sunday's loss to the Commanders and has yet to practice this week, indicating he hasn't made significant progress in his recovery. As a result, he'll stay stateside for the Giants' Week 10 game in Germany, though he should have a better chance to return after the team's bye for a Week 12 matchup against the Buccaneers. Jalin Hyatt will have the opportunity to step up in Slayton's absence.

If Slayton indeed isn't able to join his teammates, Jalin Hyatt will be the next player up at wide receiver alongside Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Not practicing Wednesday
New York Giants head coach said that Darius Slayton (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.Slayton's absence from practice suggests he hasn't made much progress yet in his recovery from the concussion he sustained during this past Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders. Daboll noted that the receiver may not make the trip to Munich in advance of Sunday's game against the Panthers, but further clarity on Slayton's status for Week 10 should arrive when the Giants' traveling party leaves for Germany on Thursday night.
