BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Last chance before the window of opportunity to land Darius Slayton in most leagues closes, folks, so you know what to do. There are no teams on a bye week this next week but the pauses come back half a month from now and that means needy GMs will jump at any and every warm body sitting in their WW ahead of the fantasy playoffs. Don't miss out on adding Slayton.
Slayton has posted four consecutive outcomes of 11.6+ PPR points and he's actually reached that figure in five of his last six games played. When he failed to do so he only got targeted three times (Week 6), but every single game in which he's gotten 4+ targets he's delivered the tasty goodies.
It's been four weeks in a row for Slayton catching at least 3 passes and racking up 58+ yards every single time. He's scored two touchdowns in that four-game span.
Slayton is coming off his second top-20-WR game in a row with 5 receptions from 10 targets for 86 yards. He grabbed 3-of-4 for 95 and a score a couple of weeks ago. Slayton is averaging a 4-reception, 6-target, 76-yard line in the past four games.
The Giants lost Wan'Dale Robinson to injury last Sunday, which means Slayton might be right in front of his biggest diet of targets ever – Robinson got 13 targets this past weekend and was looking like the main threat to Slayton.
In the past four Giants games, though, Slayton is the only WR on the team with 4+ targets every time. It's taken him time – and mostly, health – to reach this point, but Slayton is a very legitimate fantasy option for the remainder of the season as the leader of the Giants' receiving corps.
