News: 1 day agoSlayton (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Spin: The same goes for Wan'Dale Robinson, whose early success has partially come at Slayton's expense. While never known for high target rates, Slayton inevitably will see more passes come his way if he doesn't lose his every-down role. His 82 routes run through Week 2 were sixth most in the league, but Slayton somehow got just four targets, while every other player with 80 or more routes (including teammate Malik Nabers) was targeted at least 13 times.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Slayton re-signed with the Giants and is entering his seventh season with the team after they selected him in the fifth round back in 2019. He plays a lot of snaps (80%-plus snap share two years in a row), but he's not targeted much (4.4 per game last season) and hasn't finished a season better than 39th in fantasy PPG (or better than 54th since 2020). Slayton has yet to clear 770 yards in a season and he hasn't scored more than four TDs in a season since 2019. The 28-year-old will work opposite Malik Nabers (with Wan'Dale Robinson in the slot) again this season, and, even with a QB upgrade to Russell Wilson, he's well off the fantasy radar.
