Giants WR Darius Slayton was fine in Week 6, tallying 6 receptions for 57 yards in the Sunday night loss to the Bengals. His 11 targets tied WR Wan'Dale Robinson for the team lead, beating his next-nearest teammate by five.
Slayton caught another short pass late in the second quarter that he then turned into a 56-yard gain. But the Giants had an ineligible O-lineman downfield, negating the play.
That play would have given Slayton his second straight 100-yard game. Instead, Daniel Jones followed it with two incomplete passes and a completion to Tyrone Tracy short of the sticks on third-and-long.
The impending return of rookie WR Malik Nabers will obviously dramatically shift the available targets. Slayton totaled just 15 targets and 10 receptions over the first four games, with Nabers in the lineup.
There might still be room for Slayton to stay fantasy-viable alongside Nabers ... if Jones were capable of throwing a deep ball.
As it is, expect Slayton to return to WR4-5 territory in the weekly rankings with Nabers' return.
