Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Darius Slayton

Darius Slayton (NYG): 6% rostered

• Next opponents: DET, @DAL, WAS
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $4
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Slayton finished Week 10 with a 23.5% target share, 95 receiving yards and a touchdown – which, on the surface, sounds amazing. The reality is that Slayton continues to thread the needle, as his shiny target share only amounted to four targets, with Daniel Jones only registering 17 passing attempts. The Giants continue to go as far as Saquon Barkley will take them. Slayton is the best receiving threat that New York has, and his schedule lends itself to more productive weeks ahead. The Lions and Commanders have surrendered the fourth and fifth most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
