New York Giants wide receiver (WR) Darius Slayton is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup to target as a free agent addition for Week 12 of the 2019 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The argument for Darius Slayton is pretty simple: He's got a pair of multi-touchdown games in the last three games, and he's coming off a 10-catch, 121-yard performance against the Jets. The upside is clearly there for the rookie, who is turning into the favorite target of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.
And while the Bears aren't an easy matchup, Slayton's usage is high enough to negate some of that worry. He's played at least 90 percent of the team's offensive snaps in five of the past six games. Make no mistake about it: while the receiving corps in New York is confusing, Slayton is looking more and more like the top option.
His floor is still low though, and that gives me pause in shallow leagues. He did have just one catch in Week 9, for instance. But if you need someone who can make things happen and find the end zone, Slayton is an appealing play.
