The New York Giants will host the Washington Commanders in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Darius Slayton.
Is Darius Slayton Playing in Week 15?
Slayton is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Giants’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Slayton in Week 15?
Slayton found paydirt against the Patriots on Monday night before the Giants went on bye, his first score of the season, but not something that I’m buying into at any level.
His 14.6-yard aDOT comes preloaded with a wide range of weekly outcomes, but we really haven’t been paid off with the big day to pay off for the down ones (yet to reach 15 PPR points in a game and held under five points four times).
New York’s big play threat has been held under eight expected PPR points in eight of 10 games and doesn’t have a touch in the red zone since Week 3: I have nothing against taking a shot on a one-trick pony, I have a problem with doing it irresponsibly, and right now, that’s what Slayton is.
