Should You Start or Sit Slayton in Week 11?
Slayton was onto something with 85 yards in the first 17 minutes last week (three receptions), but a hamstring injury limited his effectiveness the rest of the way.
The deep threat really hasn’t gotten anything going this season, regardless of who is under center.
From a process standpoint, his vertical game would seem to mesh with what Russell Wilson likes to do, making this an interesting DFS punt option should the veteran get the nod and you’re with me in believing that the Giants are playing from behind for the majority of this game.
We have a 6.5-year sample of Slayton being a below-average target earner, and that has me willing to lean into the variance if we get the “moon ball” specialist playing quarterback. Either way, I’m not the least bit tempted to go this direction in redraft leagues.
