Darius Slayton

He's turned into a fantasy superstar overnight, racking up 38 targets over the last four games. It's helped that there's seemingly always someone out of the lineup, but he's made the most of his opportunity, turning those targets into 25 receptions for 386 yards and four touchdowns. The shift to Manning only seemed to help him, too. While it was a good matchup on the perimeter, it was surprising to see him get more targets than Shepard. We must consider them on somewhat of an even playing field, though Shepard still gets the nudge, as he's averaged 8.0 targets over the entire season. This matchup may actually suit Slayton's role a bit more, as his 13.4-yard average depth of target aligns with the fact that the Dolphins have allowed 14.6 yards per reception and a miniscule 59.2 percent completion-rate. They allow plenty of big plays, as there've been 54 pass plays that have gone for 20-plus yards, the fifth-most in the NFL. Slayton is in the mid-to-high-end WR4 conversation.
