6 months agoNew York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has always shown promise, and in 2023, he delivered on that potential with a career-high 770 yards and four touchdowns, leading the team in receiving for four of the past five seasons. However, his fantasy value is a bit of a tightrope walk. On one hand, Slayton boasts an impressive 15.4 yards per catch average, a metric that any fantasy player would love. On the other hand, the Giants' 2024 receiving corps introduces some uncertainty. Rookie first-rounder Malik Nabers is a lock for targets, Wan'Dale Robinson's route-running prowess is hard to ignore, and former third-round burner Jalin Hyatt will be a deep ball threat. This competition could potentially limit Slayton's volume, a crucial factor in PPR leagues. While Slayton's inconsistency and target competition makes him a risky flex option, his big-play potential is undeniable and is perfect for best ball leagues. Slayton is worth a shot in deep or best ball leagues for those looking for a high-ceiling flyer. His inconsistency can be frustrating, but the potential rewards are worth the gamble. However, it might be wise to explore other options for those seeking a safer floor. Slayton is RotoBaller's WR85 compared to his NFFC WR ADP of 139, which makes him worth a dart throw or late-round selection in best ball or deep-league drafts.--Danny Boily - RotoBaller
