Darius Slayton Week 12 Outlook - Giants at Cowboys

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 24th 2022, 1:05pm EST

Since Week 5, Slayton is 14th in PFF receiving grade and 11th in yards per route run as the WR34 in fantasy points per game. Overall he has a 15.8% target share and a 24.8% air yard share. The biggest knock for Slayton outside of the Giants' run-heavy offense is he only has five deep targets, and three red zone looks this season. The lack of high-value usage and capped volume in many weeks keeps him in the WR3 realm. Last week Slayton handled a season-high ten targets as the Giants were in catchup mode. That could easily be the case again against a high-powered Dallas offense this week. Slayton will run about 66% of his routes against Trevon Diggs (60.8% catch rate, 77.9 passer rating) and Anthony Brown (56.7% catch rate, 96.0 passer rating). Slayton could be shadowed by Diggs, who followed Allen Lazard and A.J. Brown on 62-67% of their routes, limiting them to four targets, two receptions, and 20 receiving yards.
