Giants' Darius Slayton: Catchless to conclude campaign
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 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
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
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
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 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.
