Gets just one target Week 15
Slayton caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: 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…read more

Remains afterthought on offense
Slayton caught two of his six targets for 27 yards Sunday in a 14-11 Week 14 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: 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…read more

Quiet again Week 13
Slayton caught two of six targets for eight yards in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to Dallas.
Analysis: 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 Giants' wideout corps, only Malik Nabers has been able to maintain useful production since the changing of the guard at quarterback.

Shut out in Week 12 blowout loss
Slayton didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 30-7 defeat against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: 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…read more

Set to return Sunday
Slayton (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Another full practice
Slayton (concussion) remained a full practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Slayton (concussion) practiced in full Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Won't travel to Germany
Slayton (concussion) will not travel with the Giants to Germany and will be out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Week 10 status dicey
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Slayton (concussion) won't practice Thursday and is unlikely to make the trip to Munich, Germany for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Slayton has made no noticeable progress through the protocol for head injuries after he suffered a concussion this past Sunday against the Commanders. 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.

Not practicing Wednesday
Giants head coach said that Slayton (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: 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.

Placed in concussion protocol
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.
Analysis: 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.

Concussion check ordered up
Slayton got checked for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Prior to exiting late in the fourth quarter, Slayton had gathered in all three targets for 49 yards and taken one carry for 11 yards. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll be subject to league protocol before he can suit up again.

Hits for another long gain Monday
Slayton brought in four of seven targets for 108 yards in the Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.
Analysis: 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…read more

Quiet in Nabers' return
Slayton caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis: 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…read more

Cleared to face Philly
Slayton (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Slayton should get plenty of playing time but is highly unlikely to match his total of 11 targets from each of the past two games now that Malik Nabers (concussion/groin) is available. Slayton's 22 targets over the past two weeks were six more than he saw over the first four games combined (15) with Nabers in the lineup.

Stays limited in practice
Slayton (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Limited by groin injury
Slayton was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a groin injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton showed no signs of being limited this past Sunday, when he drew 11 targets for a second straight game and played 86 percent of the offensive snaps in a 17-7 loss to the Bengals. He briefly left the contest to be checked for a concussion, but he returned in short order and continued drawing steady targets in the absence of Malik Nabers, who remains in concussion protocol and also was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Leads team with 11 targets
Slayton finished with six receptions (11 targets) for 57 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Slayton was briefly evaluated and cleared from a concussion after landing hard in the end zone on a missed connection late in Sunday's loss, according to Giants beat reporter Dan Salomone. The injury scare actually drew a pass interference flag that led to the ensuing Tyrone Tracy rushing touchdown. The 27-year-old Slayton finished the contest with a solid PPR performance, but his upside leaves much to be desired heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Eagles. He will receive a small boost…read more

Nabers out again Week 6
Slayton is set to remain the Giants' top option on the outside Sunday against the Bengals, as Malik Nabers (concussion) has been ruled out, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Slayton stepped up with 122 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Nabers' absence against the Seahawks in Week 5, matching the former's receiving yardage total from the previous four games combined. Slayton is well positioned to make the most of the additional volume in a primetime matchup against a struggling Bengals defense. Jalin Hyatt likely will get the majority of reps on the outside opposite Slayton, while Wan'Dale Robinson will continue to man the slot.

Puts on best Nabers impression
Slayton caught eight of 11 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-20 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Slayton stepped up in the absence of Malik Nabers (concussion), matching the 122 yards Slayton posted in the first four games of the season. Most of his production came during a third-quarter drive on which Slayton made a 41-yard catch down the right sideline, then scored a 30-yard touchdown on the left side three plays later. Slayton should maintain a starting role on the outside for Week 6 against the Bengals regardless of Nabers' status, but Slayton's target share would likely dip if Nabers…read more

Could see more targets sans Nabers
Slayton could get more looks from QB Daniel Jones with Malik Nabers (concussion) ruled out for Week 5 against Seattle, per Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports.
Analysis: Slayton led New York in targets and receiving yards last season but has taken a backseat to Nabers early in the 2024 campaign. Nabers hasn't cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and has consequently been deemed out for Sunday, likely giving Slayton -- who has 10 catches on 15 targets through four games -- the chance to be a bigger part of the Giants' air attack. Wan'Dale Robinson should continue to work in the slot and get substantial attention from Jones as he has for most of the season,…read more

Trio of grabs in loss
Slayton brought in three of five targets for 56 yards in the Giants' 20-15 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Analysis: Slayton worked through a thumb injury during the short week to suit up Thursday, and he finished well behind the top duo of Malik Nabers (concussion) and Wan'Dale Robinson across his receiving line. However, the veteran wideout was able to make one of his signature chunk plays through the air, recording a 28-yard grab early in the second quarter on a drive that culminated in a Greg Joseph field goal. Slayton has a trio of three-catch tallies over his first four games, and if Nabers isn't able…read more

Suiting up Thursday
Slayton (thumb) is listed as active Thursday against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: After leaving this past Sunday's win at Cleveland for a spell due to a thumb injury, Slayton underwent X-rays that came back negative. He then was listed as limited on all three of the Giants' Week 4 practice reports before being listed as questionable. The issue won't stop him from suiting up Thursday, but Slayton will be donning a wrap/splint on his right thumb, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

Questionable for Week 4
Slayton (thumb) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton made a brief exit at the tail end of this past Sunday's win at Cleveland due to a thumb injury. He underwent X-rays that returned negative, but he was listed as limited on the Giants' practice reports issued Monday and Tuesday and thus will head into Thursday with a designation. Slayton's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Giants release their inactive list.

Estimated as limited participant
Slayton (thumb) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants held a walkthrough Monday, so Slayton's activity level is only an estimation, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see the No. 3 wideout listed as limited Monday. X-rays on Slayton's thumb came up negative Monday after he was briefly forced out of Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns. That bodes well for his chances of being cleared to suit up for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Slayton was briefly forced out of Sunday's contest early in the fourth quarter due to the thumb injury, but he returned with 7:40 remaining and finished the afternoon with a 1-7-0 receiving line on two targets while logging 81 percent of snaps. The wideout might have been playing through some discomfort the rest of the game, but with X-rays coming back negative, Slayton would seem to have a good chance at being available for the Giants' Week 4 matchup with the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Slayton caught three of four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: The veteran receiver finished a distant second on the Giants in catches and targets behind dynamic rookie Malik Nabers, who posted a 10-127-1 line and saw more targets (18) than the rest of the team put together. Slayton was, however, the intended target on a pair of two-point attempts from Daniel Jones that misfired, after Graham Gano (hamstring) was injured on the opening kickoff.

Slayton (concussion) practiced full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: In the wake of entering the concussion protocol earlier this week, Slayton was held out of drills Wednesday before getting some non-contact work one day later. His full practice Friday was accompanied by no game status for Week 2, indicating he gained clearance from an independent neurologist. Thus, Slayton will team up with Malik Nabers (knee), Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt at wide receiver for New York's offense this weekend.

Analysis: Slayton entered the protocol for head injuries in the wake of the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Vikings. After sitting out Wednesday's session, he was back on the field for some non-contact drills one day later, indicating he's through at least a few of the five steps of the aforementioned protocol. Slayton will have one more opportunity to get back to all activity this week, but he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday at Washington.

Analysis: Slayton remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and will likely need to get back on the practice field in some capacity in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Commanders. Jalin Hyatt will have a path to increased offensive snaps alongside starting wideout Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson if Slayton misses any time.

Analysis: Slayton secured three of four targets for 27 yards while playing 72 percent of offensive snaps during Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings, and he'll now need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before suiting up again. The speedster is entrenched as a starter in three-receiver sets alongside Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson. If Slayton is unavailable Week 2 versus the Commanders, Jalin Hyatt could get an opportunity to step up as the No. 3 WR.

Leading receiver Saturday
Slayton caught all three of his targets for a team-high 59 yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The speedster quickly reforged his connection with Daniel Jones in the quarterback's first game action since he tore his ACL in Week 9 of last season, hauling in a 44-yard strike in the second quarter that nearly went for a touchdown, although Slayton was ruled down at the one-yard line.

Good to go for camp
Slayton (undisclosed) is practicing at the start of training camp, SI's Patricia Traina reports.
Analysis: It seems the injury Slayton suffered during June minicamp wasn't anything serious. He led the Giants in receiving yards four of his first five seasons, but without ever reaching 800 yards in a campaign. While Slayton still projects as a starter, the Giants hope sixth overall pick Malik Nabers will give them a legitimate No. 1 receiver for the first time since Odell Beckham's prime.

On track for training camp
Coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday he expects Slayton (undisclosed) to be ready for the start of training camp late July, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Slayton suffered an undisclosed injury at Tuesday's minicamp practice, but it doesn't appear the Giants are overly concerned about his health. Slayton is positioned for a starting gig in New York's wide receiver corps, alongside rookie first-round addition Malik Nabers, plus incumbent Wan'Dale Robinson, who should be more effective now that he's another year removed from his ACL tear.

Leaves practice with injury
Slayton (undisclosed) departed Tuesday's practice at mandatory minicamp early due to an apparent injury, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Slayton appeared to sustain an injury after colliding with a teammate, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power. The 27-year-old remains in position to handle a starting role for the Giants, though rookie phenom Malik Nabers is likely the clear No. 1, so the Giants' offense can ill afford to have Slayton miss any time.

Gets incentives added to contract
Slayton showed up to OTAs this week after the Giants added $650,000 of incentives to his contract, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old is entering the second season of a two-year, $12 million contract, and while he might have been hoping for an extension or additional guaranteed money, it seems he'll settle for the boosted incentives. Slayton has led the Giants in receiving yards in four of his five NFL seasons, topping 700 yards each time without ever getting to 800. He'll likely be one of the team's top three WRs in 2024, along with sixth overall pick Malik Nabers and slot man Wan'Dale Robinson. Of the three,…read more

Analysis: Slayton is working toward a hopeful contract extension with the Giants, but he's on the field for voluntary workouts at OTAs. The 2019 fifth-round pick still appears slated for a starting gig, though rookie first-rounder Malik Nabers should be the top man in this wide receiver corps, with Jalin Hyatt and Wan'Dale Robinson also in the mix.

Analysis: Slayton refused to report to voluntary offseason workouts, as he's entering the final season of a two-year contract and is seeking an extension. The Giants, however, haven't budged, and the team used the sixth overall pick in last week's draft to take Nabers after using a third-round pick on Jalin Hyatt in 2023. While Slayton is the favorite to open the summer as a starter on the outside, the team likely hopes Hyatt can push the veteran for snaps and targets in his second season. Nabers is the…read more

Seeking new deal
Slayton (thumb) hasn't reported to the Giants' voluntary workouts while he seeks a contract extension, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Slayton, who led the team with 770 receiving yards in 17 games in 2023, has attended the Giants' voluntary offseason program in the past. The 27-year-old wideout is in line to earn $6.2 million in the final year of his contract in 2024, but Slayton is evidently looking to amend those terms. At this stage, Slayton -- who is recovering from an offseason procedure on his right thumb -- is poised to retain a key role in a Giants wideout corps that currently includes Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin…read more

Undergoes thumb surgery
Slayton said Thursday that he had surgery on his right thumb after the conclusion of the regular season but should be ready to play "by the time it matters," Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Slayton posted to his personal X account Jan. 10 implying that he dealt with a right hand injury throughout the campaign, and it appears that his thumb was the source of the issue. Despite the injury, the fifth-year wideout played in every game for the Giants this season, leading the club with 79 targets (of which he caught 60) and 770 receiving yards while hauling in four touchdowns. If his thumb heals as expected, and depending on what changes the Giants make in the offseason, Slayton could…read more

Hauls in TD against Philly
Slayton caught five of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: The wideout tied Wan'Dale Robinson and Darren Waller for the team lead with five grabs each, but Slayton was the only Giants receiver to get into the end zone, connecting with Tyrod Taylor on a 19-yard score late in the second quarter. Slayton tied his career high with 50 catches in 2023 and set a new personal best with 770 receiving yards, but the Giants could do a lot of housecleaning on the roster in the offseason, and it's not clear if the 26-year-old is part of their future plans.

Catches 80-yard TD in loss
Slayton caught four of six targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Slayton got free for his second long touchdown reception in the last two games, and this one was even longer than his 69-yard score against the Eagles in Week 16. The big-play threat had only one touchdown all season prior to this hot stretch, but Slayton will have a nice opportunity to keep the late-season surge going in Week 18 when the Giants face the struggling Eagles defense again.

Posts best line of season
Slayton recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 90 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-25 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Slayton posted his highest yardage total of the season and continued his upward tick in production since Week 11. The majority of his 90 yards came on a 69-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter on a deep throw down the left sideline from Tyrod Taylor. Overall, Slayton has topped 60 receiving yards in three of his last five games and has shown the ability to produce with both Taylor and Tommy DeVito under center.

Leading receiver for losing side
Slayton had four receptions on eight targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: Slayton finished as the Giants' leading receiver on a low-volume passing day, producing modest fantasy results in the process. The 63 yards represented the No. 1 wideout's third-highest yardage total through 14 games this season, highlighting how anemic the Giants' offense has been in 2023. Slayton should continue to operate as New York's top receiver against Philadelphia next Monday, but his fantasy appeal remains limited to those in deeper formats.

Quiet performance in Week 14
Slayton finished Monday's 24-22 win against Green Bay with two catches on two targets for 14 yards.
Analysis: Slayton had his second straight subpar performance as a pass catcher, equaling the number of receptions he produced in Week 12 against New England and finishing with two fewer yards. The veteran wideout appeared to have a breakout with four catches for 82 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 versus Washington, but he hasn't been able to follow that up with significant production. Slayton has been plagued by inconsistency throughout the campaign, so it's hard to trust him in fantasy lineups.

Suits up but held in check Week 12
Slayton (neck) caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Slayton surprisingly suited up after being listed as doubtful heading into the game, but his lack of productivity may have been related to the injury that forced him to exit halfway through last week's win over Washington. Slayton scored his first touchdown of the season last week to go with a season-high 82 receiving yards, and he'll look to rekindle his chemistry with quarterback Tommy DeVito in Week 14 against the Packers after getting a chance to heal further during a Week 13 bye.

Surprisingly active Sunday
Slayton (neck) is active for Sunday's game versus the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: A neck injury contained Slayton to a pair of limited practices during Week 12 prep, and the writing seemed to be on the wall for him after coach Brian Daboll said Friday that he didn't expect the wide receiver to play Sunday. A subsequent doubtful designation forecast as much, but Slayton bucked all trends and will be available to the Giants offense this weekend. Through 11 games to date, Slayton has put together a 30-419-1 line on 50 targets while working with three different quarterbacks.

Listed as doubtful
Slayton (neck) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Slayton returned to practice Thursday after an early exit from Sunday's win over Washington, but it appears he isn't quite healthy enough to play. His likely absence could free up snaps for a number of different wide receivers, including Sterling Shepard, Isaiah Hodgins and Jalin Hyatt. The Giants have a Week 13 bye after Sunday's matchup with New England.

Analysis: After leaving this past Sunday's win at Washington due to an arm injury, Slayton was listed as a non-participant Wednesday due to a neck issue. Fortunately for the wide receiver, he upped his estimated activity level one day later and has one more chance to get back to full before the end of the week, when the Giants may give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Dealing with neck injury
Slayton -- who isn't practicing Wednesday -- has a neck injury rather than an arm injury, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Slayton was ruled out of this past Sunday's win over Washington with what was described as an arm injury after taking a big hit shortly before halftime. The Giants have since classified Slayton's injury differently, but his status will be worth monitoring heading into this Sunday's matchup with New England nonetheless. He will have two more opportunities to practice this week before the Giants potentially give him an injury designation.

Slayton has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Commanders with an arm injury, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. He recorded four catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on five targets prior to his departure.
Analysis: The Giants initially listed Slayton as questionable to return to the contest after he took a big hit to his right arm on a third-down play on the Giants' final possession of the first half, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. He wasn't on the field for the Giants' first drive of the second half, however, and was downgraded to out.

Unproductive with rookie QB
Slayton tallied three catches (on four targets) for 21 yards in a blowout Week 10 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Analysis: Slayton tied for the team lead in targets and receptions, but that didn't amount to much production on a day when rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito threw for only 86 yards in his first NFL start. Slayton continues to log a healthy snap count every week and leads Giants wideouts in targets and receiving yards on the campaign, though that's amounted to a quiet 26-337-0 line through 10 contests.

Analysis: Slayton finished as the Giants' leading receiver and the only position player other than star tailback Saquon Barkley to crack 50 yards Sunday. A good portion of that production came while playing with Tommy DeVito, who took over at QB for starter Daniel Jones after the latter left with a potential major knee injury on the first play of the second quarter.

Though Slayton lost a yard on his lone catch, he was also the only Giants wide receiver to haul in a pass in the ugly offensive display -- in fact, Wan'Dale Robinson was the only other wideout to see a target for the G-Men, with running back Saquon Barkley leading the team with five…read more

His lone reception came near the end of the first quarter, and he was targeted just once after that.

The veteran wideout has yet to score a touchdown through six games after scoring just twice across 16 games in 2022.

Another two-catch effort Sunday
Slayton secured two of four targets for 35 yards in the Giants' 31-16 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Slayton unsurprisingly put up a modest stat line in another highly underwhelming performance for the Giants' air attack. The veteran speedster has eclipsed Sunday's yardage total only once in his first five games, and unless Daniel Jones (neck) or Tyrod Taylor are able to help the offense find a different gear, Slayton will remain mostly a fantasy afterthought in all but very deep formats.

Notches two catches
Slayton caught two of three targets for 23 yards in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Slayton tied for third on the team in targets behind Wan'Dale Robinson (six) and Matt Breida (five), but three other players also had three targets. Daniel Jones was sacked 10 times and didn't have enough time to push the ball downfield, thus neutralizing Slayton's ability as a deep threat. Heading into a Week 5 road game against the Dolphins, Slayton has 11 catches for 132 yards on 20 targets, and he's still searching for his first touchdown of the season.

The veteran speedster also recorded the second-longest catch of the night for New York (17 yards), but like the rest of the team's air attack, he was victimized by Daniel Jones' mediocre play.

Slayton had three catches (five targets) for 15 yards in Sunday's 40-0 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Slayton started for the Giants to kick off the regular season after being held out of most preseason action. That's where the good news ends, as the veteran did little with his five targets Sunday. The Giants looked outmatched against the Cowboys this week, but that is unlikely to be the case against the Cardinals next Sunday, so improved play from the team as a whole can be expected.

Logs limited work during preseason
Slayton was among the many Giants starters who saw minimal action during the exhibition slate, as he played in one game during which he logged 13 offensive snaps.
Analysis: Slayton's lone game action came in Week 2 of the preseason schedule, which also was the case for a majority of New York's offensive and defensive starters. It's still unclear exactly how the team's WR room will fall in terms of pecking order, but Slayton is expected to line up with the starters when the regular season kicks off. The 26-year-old recorded 46 catches (on 71 targets) for 724 yards and two touchdowns over 16 contests last season.

Slayton brought in one of five targets for four yards in the Giants' 38-7 divisional-round loss to the Eagles on Saturday night.
Analysis: A week after posting an impressive 88 receiving yards in a wild-card win over the Vikings, Slayton was nearly shut out altogether versus the suffocating Eagles defense. The quiet finish aside, Slayton appeared to be a good fit in coach Brian Daboll's offense, posting a solid 46-724-2 line on 71 targets across 16 games in the regular season while averaging a career-best 15.7 yards per reception.

Big day in wild-card win
Slayton caught four of eight targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 31-24 wild-card win over the Vikings.
Analysis: While it wasn't an efficient performance, Slayton provided the Giants with some big plays, including a 47-yard reception late in the first quarter that helped set up New York's second TD of the game. The 26-year-old wideout emerged as one of Daniel Jones' most trusted targets after barely playing to begin the year, but Slayton faces a tough matchup in the divisional round against an Eagles secondary that held him to two catches in their first meeting during the regular season.

This was the veteran wideout's worst yardage output since taking over as the Giants' defacto No. 1 wideout back in Week 7.

Analysis: He led the Giants in receptions and receiving yards, but the team's offense as a whole sputtered, particularly after halftime. Slayton has turned his season -- and maybe his career -- around over the last month, hauling in 15 of 22 targets for 221 yards and a touchdown in the last four games heading into New York's Week 9 bye.

Catches 32-yard TD in win
Slayton caught three of six targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Slayton capped the opening drive with a 32-yard touchdown catch but didn't contribute much after that. Struggles with drops have limited the deep threat's effectiveness, but Slayton continues to play a featured role in New York's banged-up receiving corps heading into a Week 8 road game in Seattle.

Regresses with just one catch
Slayton caught one of three targets for 18 yards in a 24-20 win over Baltimore in Week 6.
Analysis: Slayton looked like he could be on the verge of a breakthrough with a six-catch, 79-yard performance in Week 5, but he fell back to earth with Sunday's quiet showing. Fellow receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) were both inactive for the contest, but it was tight end Daniel Bellinger who led the Giants in both catches and receiving yards. There's too much volatility among New York's pass-catching corps for any player on the unit to have fantasy viability at the moment.

Emerges for solid game
Slayton recorded six receptions on seven targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Slayton took advantage of a depleted Giants' receiving corps to lead the team in targets, receptions and yards. His longest gain went for 26 yards, which helped push the Giants into field-goal range. Slayton also tallied four additional gains that went for double-digit yards. He entered the game having recorded only one catch across three games, and he is likely to shift to a smaller role once the team's receivers get healthier.

Could see increased role Sunday
Slayton may be more involved in the Giants' passing game Sunday with all of Kenny Golladay (knee), Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) ruled out for the Week 5 battle in London.
Analysis: Slayton saw his most action of the campaign in Week 4 against Chicago, playing 62 percent of New York's offensive snaps. He didn't do much with the opportunity, however, logging just one catch on two targets for 11 yards. Slayton figures to again spend considerable time on the field in Week 5, as he, David Sills and Richie James are currently the only healthy wideouts on the active roster. Slayton is likely behind the other two on the depth chart, however, and expectations should be tempered…read more

Notches first catch of campaign
Slayton hauled in one of two targets for 11 yards in a 20-12 victory versus the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: After being inactive in Week 1, Slayton suited up in each of the subsequent two weeks but didn't see any targets. He finally got into the action against Chicago, drawing a pass-interference penalty that netted 40 yards in the third quarter, though it wasn't the best look that he dropped what was still a catchable ball. Slayton did haul in a pass for 11 yards in the next period, which incredibly made him the leading gainer among New York's wide receivers in the victory. It's painfully clear that…read more

Healthy scratch in Week 1
Slayton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 clash against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton's inactive status isn't of much surprise considering he just took a pay cut earlier in the week in order to remain on the roster and the fact all of Sterling Shepard, Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson are healthy in front of him. If the team's receiver corps can avoid the drastic case of the injury bug that befell it last season, Slayton may be in street clothes most weeks for the foreseeable future.

Accepts paycut
Slayton and the Giants agreed Wednesday to a pay cut for the 2022 season that will keep him on the roster heading into the team's Week 1 matchup with the Titans, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Slayton had been due $2.54 million in the final year of his rookie contract, but his salary will now drop to the league-minimum amount of $965,000 to save the Giants $1.6 million against the cap. According to Rock, Slayton's restructured deal will allow him to earn back some salary if he reaches certain playing-time incentives, but his outlook on that front isn't promising as the Giants' depth chart at receiver currently stands. Slayton looks to be behind all of Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney,…read more

Should stay on Week 1 roster
Giants GM Joe Schoen said Thursday that the team does not plan to trade Slayton before the season opener against the Titans on Sept. 11, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Schoen added that the Giants are still "open" to trade possibilities for Slayton after the wideout managed to make the team's 53-man roster to open the regular season. It's likely that the 25-year-old's days in New York are numbered, though he could improve his potential trade value as both a return specialist and receiver during the team's Week 1 matchup against the Titans.

Slayton, who has been the subject of trade talks in recent days, has made the Giants' initial 53-man roster, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Slayton remains on the team for now, but the Giants could still opt to trade him before the season or even after the campaign begins. "We'll see where we're at right now," coach Brian Daboll said when asked whether he expects Slayton to be on the team come Week 1. "He's done a good job and we're excited to have him.''

Center of trade talks
Slayton has been a hot name on the trade market this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Slayton has been locked into a deep wide receiver room with the Giants and could end up being dealt ahead of the team's final roster cutdown. The 25-year-old appears to have fallen out of favor in New York and if he is waived or traded, the team would gain $2.54 million in cap space.

Slayton (undisclosed) could be cut if the Giants aren't able to work out a trade for him, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

However, he fell back down to earth with a poor sophomore campaign and now finds himself buried on the team's wide-receiver depth chart.

Slayton played only five snaps in Thursday's preseason opener against New England because he "tightened up" in the first quarter, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Slayton mostly played with the second- and third-teams during camp, but he logged all of his time with the starters Thursday. However, that time was limited to just five snaps because, in the words of head coach Brian Daboll, the receiver "tightened up." Daboll indicated that Slayton impressed in recent practices to earn time with the starters in the exhibition opener, and the decision to pull him appears to be precautionary rather than the result of an identifiable injury.

Slayton has worked with the third-team offense during parts of training camp, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Giants' receiving corps is crowded, especially with rookie Wan'Dale Robinson having solidified a significant role in the offense during camp. Robinson's presence has pushed Slayton further out of the picture after his massively disappointing 2021 campaign.

Still, it sounds like Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney and second-round pick Wan'Dale Robinson all have been more involved alongside Daniel Jones, not to mention veteran slot man Sterling Shepard (Achilles) is hoping to come back from the active/PUP list at some point.

Scores TD in season-ending loss
Slayton brought in two of three targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 22-7 loss to Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: Slayton returned from a shoulder injury and was at least able to record his first touchdown grab since Week 2 -- small consolation for an utterly forgettable season for the third-year speedster. Slayton scuffled with both injury and poor quarterback play to post an ugly 26-339-2 line across 13 games, a significant downturn after a solid first pair of pro seasons. Slayton will hope the return to health of Daniel Jones (IR-neck) and a potential new coaching staff will help lead to a much more…read more

Slayton (shoulder/ramp up) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants placed Slayton (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list last Thursday, which caused him to be unavailable for a Week 17 game in Chicago. Upon his activation Wednesday, he was listed with both a shoulder injury and also the COVID-19 ramp up that has been customary of players returning to the active roster. Ultimately, Friday's practice report may clear up Slayton's status ahead of Sunday's game against Washington.

Removed from COVID-19 list
New York activated Slayton (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, MIchael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports. Slayton was then listed as a limited participant on the Giants' estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger.
Analysis: Slayton's return from the list and participation in practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- sets the stage for him to play Sunday against Washington after missing the Week 17 blowout loss at Chicago. He'll likely be a starter and get plenty of snaps if his conditioning is OK, but there's not much upside for the New York passing game with Jake Fromm likely starting at quarterback.

Analysis: The Giants elevated wide receiver Alex Bachman from the practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement for Slayton, who tested positive for the virus Wednesday. In addition to Slayton, New York will be without Kadarius Toney (shoulder), Sterling Shepard (Achilles), John Ross (knee) and Collin Johnson (hamstring), leaving the team woefully thin at receiver beyond No. 1 option Kenny Golladay. Bachman, Pharoh Cooper and David Sills will be called upon to fill snaps alongside Golladay.

Slayton will still have an outside chance of clearing the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols before Sunday's game against the Bears, though he seems unlikely to do so, given how late in the week he tested positive.

Analysis: Slayton was efficient with his targets, but it would have been nice to see him draw more in this matchup, especially with teammates Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney both out with quadriceps injuries. While Slayton's speed makes him a dangerous downfield threat, the depth of the Giants' pass-catcher rotation and the general struggles of Daniel Jones make it difficult to see the route to mainstream fantasy viability most weeks.

Loses fumble in loss
Slayton caught four of seven targets for 37 yards but lost a fumble in Monday night's 30-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Slayton's long gain of 21 yards helped him rank second on the Giants in receiving, even though his fumble on the last play of the first half cancelled some of his production out. The third-year pro has been a frustrating figure this season, and with rookie Kadarius Toney hauling in seven of 12 targets to go with Saquon Barkley's six grabs Monday, Slayton has stiff competition for looks within an inconsistent New York offense.

Slayton failed to catch his only target Sunday against the Raiders.
Analysis: The Giants attempted only 20 passes Sunday, and most were short throws to the running backs and tight ends.

Slayton is expected to remain in a top-three role at receiver Sunday against the Raiders, joining Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: No. 1 receiver Golladay is back in action after a three-game absence due to a hyperextended knee, but the absence of Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) should create room in the starting lineup for both Toney and Slayton. Though Slayton entered the season ahead of Toney in the pecking order, that may have changed with the rookie having flashed big-play potential in recent weeks. Slayton could thus be a candidate to lose out on some reps if Shepard is ready to go following a Week 10 bye.

Slayton failed to reel in either of his targets in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Slayton was a major disappointment for fantasy managers who kept the wideout active in what was expected to be a plus matchup against Kansas City's porous defense. The 24-year-old played the most snaps (52) of any New York pass catcher, but it didn't translate to meaningful target volume. Slayton will look to get back on track Week 9 against the Raiders, especially if Kenny Golladay (knee) remains out and Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) can't go.

Given the game script, the Giants didn't need to push the ball much through the air, which in turn limited the potential for him to turn in a big game.

Analysis: The same goes for Sterling Shepard, whose absence has freed up slot work for first-round pick Kadarius Toney.

Slayton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Slayton and Sterling Shepard, both dealing with hamstring injuries, were at least able to do side-field work during Wednesday's practice, perhaps taking a step forward in the recovery process. Still, they're both in danger of missing a second straight game Sunday against the Cowboys, potentially giving Kadarius Toney and John Ross another shot to strut their stuff in top-three roles.

Ruled out for Week 4
Slayton (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game against the Saints, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: This news hardly is surprising considering Slayton was unable to practice throughout the week, and the same goes for Sterling Shepard, who will sit out due to a hamstring injury of his own. Down two of their top three wide receivers ahead of a daunting matchup with a stingy Saints defense, the Giants will have their work cut out for them as they try to pick up their first win of the season on the road Week 4.

Unlikely to play
Slayton (hamstring) appears unlikely to play in Sunday's game at New Orleans after missing another practice Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The same goes for fellow Giants WR Sterling Shepard, who also left last week's game with a hamstring injury. The team is left with Kenny Golladay as its far-and-away No. 1 receiver, backed by some combination of Kadarius Toney, Collin Johnson, C.J. Board and maybe John Ross (IR - hamstring).

Not practicing again
Slayton (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger, both Slayton and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) were at the Giants' practice facility Thursday, but head coach Joe Judge suggested that both wideouts would merely work with trainers behind the scenes. With neither receiver having taken any reps through the first two practices of the week, both appear to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game in New Orleans. If Slayton is in fact sidelined this weekend, Collin Johnson and C.J.…read more

Not practicing to begin week
Slayton (hamstring) wasn't present for Wednesday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: The Giants are beginning Week 4 prep with a walk-through session, but neither Slayton nor fellow wideout Sterling Shepard (hamstring) were in attendance for the workout, which doesn't portend well for their availability Sunday against the Saints. New York may wait and see what Slayton and Shepard are able to do on the field in the next two days before making a definitive ruling on their statuses for the weekend, but if both are sidelined, rookie first-round pick Kadarius Toney would likely step…read more

Exits game with hamstring injury
Slayton was forced out of Sunday's game against the Falcons in the first quarter with a hamstring injury, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: With Slayton having been declared done for the day, he'll finish up with one catch for eight yards. In his absence, Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard will continue to head the Giants' Week 3 WR corps versus Atlanta.

Finds end zone in loss
Slayton secured three of six targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 30-29 loss to Washington on Thursday night.
Analysis: While his reception and receiving yardage tallies were nothing to write home about, Slayton turned a pedestrian fantasy effort into a solid one with a 33-yard scoring grab in the latter portion of the third quarter. The third-year speedster has been used frequently downfield through the first two games, as his 19.8 yards per reception thus far will attest to. He'll look to continue adding to his collection of chunk gains in a favorable Week 3 home matchup against the Falcons a week from Sunday.

Shows chops as deep threat Sunday
Slayton caught three of seven targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The third-year receiver did most of his damage on the Giants' opening drive, hauling in a 42-yard pass from Daniel Jones, but Slayton was mostly quiet after that. Sterling Shepard was Jones' primary option in this one, with Kenny Golladay posting similar numbers to Slayton, and 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney should also factor into the mix eventually after a shaky NFL debut. That will likely leave Slayton dependent on big plays for his production, but big plays could be hard to come by in…read more

To be No. 3 WR on Sunday
Slayton will serve as the Giants' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday versus the Broncos with Kenny Golladay (hamstring) cleared to play.
Analysis: Most of the Giants' receiving corps tended to injuries during Week 1 prep, including WRs Golladay and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and TEs Evan Engram (calf), Kyle Rudolph (foot) and Kaden Smith (knee). However, all of them but Engram will be available Sunday, ensuring Slayton will be in his customary third receiver role. Through two pro campaigns, Slayton has averaged six targets per game, which has resulted in 98 catches, 1,491 yards and 11 touchdowns in 30 appearances.

Avoids injury report
Slayton (ankle) wasn't listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton was in and out of the Giants' preseason finale due to a left ankle or foot injury, but he and Sterling Shepard now appear to be the healthiest members of the receiving corps. Wideouts Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (undisclosed) and tight ends Kyle Rudolph (foot) and Kaden Smith (knee) were all limited participants Wednesday, while top tight end Evan Engram (calf) didn't practice at all.

Slayton (ankle) will do some work on the field this week, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Slayton limped to the sideline and had his left ankle taped during the first half of Sunday's preseason loss to the Patriots. He was deemed questionable to return and never made it back, with the Giants saying afterward that the wideout would be evaluated Monday.

Checkup scheduled for Monday
Coach Joe Judge said Slayton (ankle/foot) will be evaluated by the Giants' medical staff Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Slayton limped to the sideline and had his left ankle taped during the first half of Sunday's preseason loss to the Patriots. Eventually, he was deemed questionable to return and then ruled out entirely, finishing the contest with one catch (on two targets) for six yards and a seven-yard carry. Judge relayed Slayton is "optimistic" about his injury, but Monday's checkup may provide more clarity about the wide receiver's health.

Questionable to return Sunday
Slayton suffered an ankle or foot injury during Sunday's preseason contest versus the Patriots, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Slayton had his left foot taped up during the first half of this game but was able to return. Now that he's questionable to get back on the field, though, he likely will end his day with one catch (on two targets) for six yards and one carry for seven yards. Because Slayton is the second key skill player to suffer an injury Sunday -- Evan Engram was ruled out with a calf issue -- the third-year wide receiver isn't a prime candidate to see action again until Week 1 against the Broncos.

Analysis: Slayton logged 13 snaps on offense in preseason Week 1 against the Jets, which resulted in one catch (on three targets) for eight yards. After joint practices with the Browns this past week, coach Joe Judge held out the starters this Sunday in Cleveland.

Gets target competition in Round 1
The Giants took Kadarius Toney with the 20th overall pick Thursday night, making for a more crowded receiving corps.
Analysis: Slayton was already getting squeezed by the Kenny Golladay signing, and now he has another ostensibly prominent receiver with whom to compete. Sterling Shepard and tight end Evan Engram are around, too, and tailback Saquon Barkley will see looks out of the backfield, making it hard to see Slayton increasing his target share this year.

Modest Year 2
After a promising rookie season, Slayton put up a modest 96-50-751-3 line in 16 games.
Analysis: Slayton's yards per target dropped from 8.8 in 2019 to 7.8 in 2020, and he made fewer big plays despite an extra 12 targets. He also dropped five passes after not dropping a single one as a rookie. Slayton is still the Giants' best deep threat, and he should be more productive if the offensive line gives Daniel Jones -- or whoever is under center in 2021 -- more time to look down the field.

Inefficient with eight targets
Slayton caught two of eight targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Slayton finished with at least seven targets for the ninth time this season, but he recorded a measly 3.25 yards per target in this contest as he and Daniel Jones failed to connect on a consistent basis. He'll look to finish the season strong next week against the Cowboys, whom he put up an 8-129-0 line against in Week 5.

Slayton had four receptions (nine targets) for 74 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Slayton continues to lead the Giants in targets despite the recent return of Sterling Shepard. The 2019 fifth-round pick has seen his production come to a screeching halt after a solid start to his sophomore campaign due to the recent drop-off in quarterback play. Colt McCoy is a decent veteran backup, but he lacks physical skills and is not going to light up the stat sheet.

Team-high eight targets in Week 14
Slayton caught three of eight targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Slayton was the most frequent target for quarterback Daniel Jones, as no other Giant had more than five passes thrown his way. Despite all that volume, Slayton finished third on the team in receiving yards. This was a step in the right direction after Slayton caught just one pass for 14 yards over the previous two games, and the explosive receiver will look to build on this effort in Week 15 against the Browns.

Dismal production against Seattle
Slayton caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: The Giants defense won this game for the team, as quarterback Colt McCoy couldn't get anything going Sunday and finished with just 105 passing yards. Golden Tate and Evan Engram were the only pass catchers to record more than one reception, and neither player surpassed 32 receiving yards. Slayton thrives off the deep ball, and there's no recent evidence that McCoy can make those throws. It should be a favorable Week 14 matchup against the Cardinals, and Daniel Jones (hamstring) could be back in…read more

Analysis: Slayton and Sterling Shepard (toe/shoulder) were both limited in practices Wednesday through Friday while they battled a pair of injuries apiece, but neither wideout will end up taking a designation into the weekend. With that in mind, Slayton looks poised to play a normal allotment of snaps, but the second-year player has been a risky fantasy option this season, turning in three games with 90-plus yards and three with 25 yards or fewer.

Limited at practice
Slayton (shoulder/foot) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton is listed with the two injuries that he's tended to at times this season, meaning his lack of full practice reps may be maintenance-related. Despite logging a significant snap count in most games this season, his production has been sporadic, with just two outings of 50-plus yards over the last six games and just one touchdown in 10 appearances since Week 1.

No catches in win over Bengals
Slayton failed to haul in either of his targets Sunday against the Bengals.
Analysis: Daniel Jones (hamstring) narrowly missed Slayton on a deep throw just off his fingertips that might have gone for a touchdown had he hung on. Once Jones got hurt, there was little chance for Slayton to make an impact playing with backup Colt McCoy. Slayton has a great matchup Week 13 in Seattle, but if Jones can't go, Slayton makes for a risky start with McCoy under center.

Bottoms out against Washington
Slayton caught his lone target for six yards and added a two-yard carry in Sunday's 23-20 win over Washington.
Analysis: Perhaps with Golden Tate (coach's decision) benched, Washington was able to key in on shutting down Slayton, allowing Daniel Jones to target 10 other pass catchers. Nevertheless, it's disappointing that the second-year wide receiver finished with season lows in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Slayton always has big-play potential and could be the best wideout on the team, but he's otherwise a replacement-level fantasy asset in games where he doesn't score a touchdown, averaging 2.7…read more

Catches five passes
Slayton caught five of nine targets for 56 yards in Monday night's 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Slayton made a great fourth-down reception to extend New York's final offensive drive, but his night was otherwise marred by failed deep connections with Daniel Jones. The speedster never got on the same page as his quarterback, missing a few big-play opportunities in the process. Despite those disappointments, Slayton still trailed only Sterling Shepard in receptions while nearly hitting double digits in targets. That involvement bodes well ahead of Week 9's matchup against Washington.

Slayton caught two of four targets for 23 yards Thursday in the Giants' 22-21 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Slayton's practice activity heading into the contest was limited to due a foot issue, but being shadowed by top Eagles corner Darius Slay for most of the night likely hindered the wideout's production more than the injury. In addition, the return of Sterling Shepard (toe) from a four-game layoff left fewer looks available for Slayton, who had averaged 7.2 targets per game during the former's absence.

Gets into end zone Week 6
Slayton brought in two of four targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 20-19 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday. He also lost three yards on his sole rush.
Analysis: Slayton looked like he might be headed to a bigger day when he notched a 23-yard scoring grab in the left corner of the end zone late in the first quarter. However, the second-year speedster ultimately logged his lowest target count of the season, which led to his second-fewest receiving yards of the campaign. The Auburn product's visit to the end zone was his first since Week 1, and he'll look to repeat the feat at the expense of the Eagles in a Thursday night Week 7 battle.

Analysis: After a week in which he was listed as limited on every practice report due to a foot injury, Slayton is upholding coach Joe Judge's expectation from Friday that the second-year wide receiver will play Week 6. On the season, Slayton has taken full advantage of his 40 targets through five games, putting up a respectable 23-365-2 line. He'll look to add to it versus a Washington defense that has allowed 8.95 YPT (12th-highest figure in the NFL) to wide receivers in 2020.

Big day in loss to Dallas
Slayton caught eight of 11 targets for 129 yards in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The second-year receiver was, by far, Daniel Jones' favorite option on the afternoon, as no other Giant saw more than five targets or hauled in more than 42 receiving yards. Slayton's had to make do with yardage rather than scores lately, however -- Jones has only two passing TDs on the year so far, and Slayton caught them both back in the Giants' opener. The duo will look to hook up in the end zone again next week at home against Washington.

Slayton has produced nearly identical numbers the last three games after his huge performance in the opener, but he could be in line for a rebound in Week 5 against a Cowboys defense that just surrendered 49 points to the Browns.

Slayton hauled in three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Slayton was outstanding in Week 1 with a 6-101-2 line, but he registered a floor game in Week 2, as the Giants struggled to generate much offense. The 2019 fifth-round pick is a boom-or-bust player by nature of his deep targets, but it is a bit concerning that he only received two targets before the Giants' final drive. He'll look for a correction next week when the 49ers come to town.

Slayton finished his rookie season with 48 catches on 84 targets for 740 yards in 14 games, with eight touchdowns (T-9th), 15.4 YPC (12th) and 8.8 YPT (23rd.)
Analysis: It was a monster year for a fifth-round rookie, and Slayton should at least reprise his role as the team's downfield playmaker in Year 2 and could emerge as its clear No. 1 wideout.

Ready for Week 17
Slayton (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation and should be ready to handle a normal workload Sunday against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Slayton was limited to two targets while playing 29 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's 41-35 win over Washington, missing a large chunk of the game after he hurt his knee in the first half. He made sporadic appearances thereafter, and he was able to practice on a limited basis both Wednesday and Thursday. While it's possible the Giants monitor Slayton's workload, it sounds like he'll open the game with his usual spot in three-wide sets alongside Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate. The…read more

Limited again Thursday
Slayton (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton missed some action this past Sunday at Washington, resulting in a season-low 29-percent share of the offensive snaps. Held without a catch on his two targets for the first time in his brief career, he's so far logged limited showings on both Week 17 practice reports due to a knee injury. Friday's report will give a sense of his availability for Sunday's season finale against the Eagles.

Limited on estimated report
Slayton was listed as a limited participant Wednesday on the Giants' estimated practice report with a knee injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Giants didn't hold a practice Christmas Day, but Slayton's inclusion on the injury report implies that he may be banged up coming out of the Week 16 overtime win over the Redskins. He'll have two more days to upgrade to full participation in advance of the Giants' season finale Sunday versus the Eagles.

Goes quiet Week 16
Slayton had zero catches on two targets during Sunday's 41-35 overtime win over the Redskins.
Analysis: The 22-year-old had 27 receptions for 417 yards and five touchdowns over the previous five games, but he lost playing time to Cody Latimer on Sunday. Slayton played more than 69 percent of offensive snaps in those five games but played his lowest snap share of the season (29 percent) versus Washington compared to Latimer's 59-percent share. The rookie fifth-round pick is trending down for Week 17 with Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate healthy.

TDs keep coming
Slayton caught two of three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Slayton failed to notch his fourth multi-score effort of 2019, but the impressive rookie is up to eight touchdowns, seven of which have come in his past seven games played. His visit to the end zone in this one came from five yards out in the third quarter. Regardless of whether he's catching balls from Eli Manning for a third straight game or from Daniel Jones (ankle), Slayton will remain a threat to find the end zone in Washington in Week 16.

Big performance in loss
Slayton caught five of eight targets for 154 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 23-17 overtime loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Slayton showed no slippage despite the Giants' change at quarterback, as he opened the scoring with a 35-yard touchdown from Eli Manning, then finished the first half with a 55-yard scoring bomb. In doing so, the rookie set a new career high in receiving yards -- topping 100 yards for the second time and scoring for the fourth time in his last four outings -- and led New York in all major pass-catching categories. That came despite both Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard suiting up, offering…read more

Could see decline
Wide receiver coach Tyke Tolbert suggested Slayton would still be a featured part of the offense following the return of Golden Tate (concussion) to the starting lineup, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. "He's going to be the same factor he's always been."
Analysis: There's a lot working against the narrative Tolbert suggested, starting first and foremost with the return of both Tate and Sterling Shepard, the latter of whom made his first appearance last Sunday against the Packers after a multi-week absence due to ongoing concussion symptoms. While Slayton was still able to record at least seven targets for the third consecutive game even with Shepard around, those opportunities could vanish with the news that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) will…read more

Nabs six passes
Slayton caught six of nine passes for 44 yards during Sunday's 31-13 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Slayton, getting the start for Golden Tate (concussion), enjoyed his third consecutive game with at least seven targets. He and rookie Daniel Jones seem to have a strong rapport, and Jones looked the fellow rookie's way early in the first quarter to convert a key fourth down. Slayton had seven targets in Week 12 even with the Giants healthy at receiver, so he should get some opportunities irrespective of Tate's health in Week 14 against the Eagles.

Leading receiver as Shepard returns
Slayton caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Fellow wide receiver Sterling Shepard returned from a concussion and led the Giants with nine targets, but Slayton led the team in receiving yards and tied with Golden Tate for second in targets with seven. While Shepard is another mouth to feed, it appears Slayton has emerged as a legitimate weapon for the Giants. The rookie fifth-rounder should remain on the fantasy radar in deeper formats when his team hosts the Packers in Week 13.

Second two-TD game in three weeks
Slayton caught 10 of 14 targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Slayton scored touchdowns of five and 39 yards in the second quarter, delivering his second two-score performance in the past three weeks. Sandwiched in between those performances is a one-catch, six-yard dud, as the 22-year-old wide receiver is still striving to find week-to-week consistency. Slayton makes for an intriguing pickup moving forward given the upside he's displayed recently, but his role could shrink dramatically if Sterling Shepard (concussion) is ready to make his return…read more

High snap count, minimal production
Slayton caught one of four targets for six yards in Monday's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Slayton started the contest and played 67 of 72 offensive snaps (93 percent), but he saw his fewest receptions and yards of the season. This dud comes after the rookie fifth-round pick posted two touchdowns in Week 8 against the Lions. Slayton didn't draw much attention despite Daniel Jones heaving 41 passes, but he has a good chance to turn it around against the Jets' suspect secondary in Week 10.

Getting another start Monday
Slayton will start Monday versus the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Sterling Shepard seemed to be closing in on getting through the concussion protocol for the second time this season, only to have a recurrence of symptoms over the weekend. His absence has allowed Slayton to retain an increased role, which he's utilized to put up 16 catches (on 27 targets) for 267 yards and three touchdowns over the last six games. Slayton may have a difficult time producing against a Cowboys defense that has yielded 7.7 yards per target and just three TDs to wide receivers in…read more
