Giants' Darius Slayton: Staying in New York
Darius Slayton re-signed with the New York Giants on a three-year, $36 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Slayton will remain with the only organization he's known since being selected in the fifth round of the 2019 Draft. Through six seasons, he's surpassed 700 receiving yards four times and 40 catches on four occasions while scoring 21 touchdowns in 92 regular-season games. The primary question mark is who will be throwing passes to Slayton and fellow WRs Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson in 2025, as Tommy DeVito currently is the only QB under contract with the Giants.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Catchless to conclude campaign
Darius Slayton did not catch his only target in a 20-13 Week 18 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. He finished the regular season with 39 receptions (on 70 targets) for 573 yards and two touchdowns along with two rushes for 17 yards.In what may have been Slayton's final game with the New York Giants, he actually led the team's wideouts with 48 offensive snaps but had just one pass thrown his way by QB Drew Lock. The lack of production has been typical for the veteran wideout of late. After catching four passes for 108 yards against Pittsburgh in Week 8, Slayton didn't exceed three receptions or 49 yards in any of his final eight contests. He came into 2024 having paced New York in receiving yards each of the previous two campaigns, but it was clear that there was going to be a changing of the guard after the Giants drafted Malik Nabers with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 Draft. The passing of the torch did indeed take place -- Nabers enjoyed a massive rookie campaign, catching 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns -- and Slayton slipped to No. 3 in the wideout pecking order behind Wan'Dale Robinson, who ranked second on New York in targets, catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Slayton will be a free agent after the conclusion of the campaign and could seek to join a new organization with the Giants embarking upon a rebuild.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Makes most of only catch Sunday
Darius Slayton caught one of three targets for a 32-yard touchdown in Sunday's 45-33 Week 17 win against the Colts.Slayton continued what is now a six-game stretch with two or fewer catches, though Sunday's performance ranked as his best across that span thanks to the 32-yard touchdown the veteran wideout grabbed in the second quarter. That score was Slayton's first since Week 5 and just his second overall this season. The 27-year-old heads into New York's season finale with just 39 catches for 573 yards on the campaign -- unless he has a huge performance Week 18 against the Eagles, Slayton will finish with his second-fewest receptions and receiving yards over his six-year career.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Totals 27 yards in big loss
Darius Slayton caught one of two targets for 21 yards and gained six rushing yards on his only carry in Sunday's 34-7 Week 16 loss to the Falcons.Slayton got his second carry of the season late in the first quarter with New York in the red zone, logging a six-yard rush to help set up the team's lone score. The veteran wideout's only other touch was a 21-yard reception late in the fourth period. Slayton's two targets put him well behind Malik Nabers (14 targets) and Wan'Dale Robinson (12) in the pecking order, which has been the case throughout most of the campaign. With only 38 catches for 541 yards through Week 16, Slayton is on pace to finish with his fewest receptions and receiving yards since 2021.

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.
