Scores TD in season-ending loss
Slayton brought in two of three targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 22-7 loss to Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: Slayton returned from a shoulder injury and was at least able to record his first touchdown grab since Week 2 -- small consolation for an utterly forgettable season for the third-year speedster. Slayton scuffled with both injury and poor quarterback play to post an ugly 26-339-2 line across 13 games, a significant downturn after a solid first pair of pro seasons. Slayton will hope the return to health of Daniel Jones (IR-neck) and a potential new coaching staff will help lead to a much more…read more

Cleared for Sunday
Slayton (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants' lack of a passing game remains more of an issue than Slayton's shoulder injury or recent stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, though it is possible his playing time is affected. The Giants are starting Jake Fromm at quarterback to close out the season.

Logs limited practice Thursday
Slayton (shoulder/ramp up) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants placed Slayton (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list last Thursday, which caused him to be unavailable for a Week 17 game in Chicago. Upon his activation Wednesday, he was listed with both a shoulder injury and also the COVID-19 ramp up that has been customary of players returning to the active roster. Ultimately, Friday's practice report may clear up Slayton's status ahead of Sunday's game against Washington.

Removed from COVID-19 list
New York activated Slayton (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, MIchael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports. Slayton was then listed as a limited participant on the Giants' estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger.
Analysis: Slayton's return from the list and participation in practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- sets the stage for him to play Sunday against Washington after missing the Week 17 blowout loss at Chicago. He'll likely be a starter and get plenty of snaps if his conditioning is OK, but there's not much upside for the New York passing game with Jake Fromm likely starting at quarterback.

Not cleared for Week 17
Slayton (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game in Chicago after the Giants didn't activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for week 17 roster moves, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The Giants elevated wide receiver Alex Bachman from the practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement for Slayton, who tested positive for the virus Wednesday. In addition to Slayton, New York will be without Kadarius Toney (shoulder), Sterling Shepard (Achilles), John Ross (knee) and Collin Johnson (hamstring), leaving the team woefully thin at receiver beyond No. 1 option Kenny Golladay. Bachman, Pharoh Cooper and David Sills will be called upon to fill snaps alongside Golladay.

Headed for COVID-19 list
New York placed Slayton on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: According to Ryan Morik of SNY.tv, Slayton's placement on the list was the result of a positive test. Slayton will still have an outside chance of clearing the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols before Sunday's game against the Bears, though he seems unlikely to do so, given how late in the week he tested positive. On a brighter note, the Giants restored John Ross (knee) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, so he could be a candidate to replace Slayton in three-receiver sets alongside…read more

Catches one pass in loss
Slayton caught one of five targets for seven yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Slayton's struggles continued Sunday despite playing on 80 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The Giants offense is downright horrible at the moment, hampering the fantasy value of all the team's skill position players. Slayton will look to get back on track against the Bears in Week 17, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere.

Quiet in loss
Slayton secured two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Even with the Giants trailing for most of the day and missing multiple key pass-catching weapons, Slayton didn't see much involvement while playing 62 percent of the offensive snaps. Slayton should at least be locked into a regular role in three-receiver sets for the Giants' final three games after Sterling Shepard suffered a season-ending torn Achilles' tendon in Sunday's loss.

Draws seven targets in Week 13 loss
Slayton caught two of his seven targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Slayton saw his second-largest snap share (80 percent) of the season with fellow wideouts Kadarius Toney (quadriceps/oblique) and Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) sidelined, but he was unable to forge much of a connection with quarterback Mike Glennon, who picked up his first start of the season under center with Daniel Jones (neck) sidelined. Glennon was diagnosed with a concussion Monday, while Jones has yet to be cleared for contact, leaving the statuses of both players in flux for a Week 14…read more

Catches three passes
Slayton caught three passes for 40 yards on four targets against Philadelphia on Sunday.
Analysis: Slayton was efficient with his targets, but it would have been nice to see him draw more in this matchup, especially with teammates Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney both out with quadriceps injuries. While Slayton's speed makes him a dangerous downfield threat, the depth of the Giants' pass-catcher rotation and the general struggles of Daniel Jones make it difficult to see the route to mainstream fantasy viability most weeks.

Loses fumble in loss
Slayton caught four of seven targets for 37 yards but lost a fumble in Monday night's 30-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Slayton's long gain of 21 yards helped him rank second on the Giants in receiving, even though his fumble on the last play of the first half cancelled some of his production out. The third-year pro has been a frustrating figure this season, and with rookie Kadarius Toney hauling in seven of 12 targets to go with Saquon Barkley's six grabs Monday, Slayton has stiff competition for looks within an inconsistent New York offense.

No catches
Slayton failed to catch his only target Sunday against the Raiders.
Analysis: The Giants attempted only 20 passes Sunday, and most were short throws to the running backs and tight ends. Slayton will be in the mix after the team's Week 10 bye, but with Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney and Evan Engram healthy, and Sterling Shepard potentially coming back, Slayton's ceiling is modest.

Set to retain starting role
Slayton is expected to remain in a top-three role at receiver Sunday against the Raiders, joining Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: No. 1 receiver Golladay is back in action after a three-game absence due to a hyperextended knee, but the absence of Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) should create room in the starting lineup for both Toney and Slayton. Though Slayton entered the season ahead of Toney in the pecking order, that may have changed with the rookie having flashed big-play potential in recent weeks. Slayton could thus be a candidate to lose out on some reps if Shepard is ready to go following a Week 10 bye.

Held catchless in loss
Slayton failed to reel in either of his targets in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Slayton was a major disappointment for fantasy managers who kept the wideout active in what was expected to be a plus matchup against Kansas City's porous defense. The 24-year-old played the most snaps (52) of any New York pass catcher, but it didn't translate to meaningful target volume. Slayton will look to get back on track Week 9 against the Raiders, especially if Kenny Golladay (knee) remains out and Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) can't go.

Racks up 63 yards
Slayton recorded five receptions on nine targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Slayton led the team in both targets and receiving yards in the absence of Kadarius Toney (ankle), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee). Given the game script, the Giants didn't need to push the ball much through the air, which in turn limited the potential for him to turn in a big game. Nevertheless, he recorded four receptions of 15 or more yards to serve as the team's primary threat down the field. Slayton's potential to produce moving forward likely depends on the rest of…read more

Back in action Sunday
Slayton (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Sidelined since Week 3 due to a hamstring issue, Slayton is back in the lineup at an opportune time, with all of Saquon Barkley (ankle), Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) out of commission. With that quartet in street clothes, Slayton will be the Giants' top wide receiver, while Dante Pettis, John Ross (hamstring), Collin Johnson and David Sills fill in behind him.

Citing a source, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com also relays that the Giants are planning on having Slayton back for the Week 7 contest, and he could immediately find himself filling a high-volume role in the New York passing attack if he suits up.

Slayton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: If he suits up, Slayton will be on the field for the first time since hurting his hamstring in Week 3. The Giants could be counting on Slayton to immediately take on a prominent role in a receiving corps that will be without both Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Kenny Golladay (knee).

Could be game-time call
Slayton (hamstring) is participating in Friday's practice and could be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Slayton will practice in some capacity for the third straight day, but he'll likely be stuck with the questionable tag for the Week 7 contest. If available, the 24-year-old would likely operate as New York's No. 2 wideout with Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) unlikely to suit up.

Slayton (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Slayton has now been limited in five consecutive practices, but since he's missed each of the Giants' last three games he may need to log a full session Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers. Despite having not played Week 3, Slayton may be one of the Giants' healthier pass catchers at the moment.

Logs limited showing Wednesday
Slayton (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton has missed three straight games due to a hamstring injury, but getting back on the field was something a few of his fellow wide receivers were unable to do Wednesday. In particular, Kenny Golladay (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and even John Ross (hamstring) didn't practice, leaving Slayton, Sterling Shepard, Dante Pettis and Collin Johnson as the healthy wideouts on the Giants roster.

Missing third straight
Slayton (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton took a questionable designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he ultimately didn't make enough progress to avoid a third straight absence. With Kenny Golladay (knee) also inactive for Week 6, Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney should be locked into full-time starting roles, with the likes of Collin Johnson, C.J. Board and John Ross expected to rotate in alongside them in three-receiver sets.

Looks like game-time call
Slayton (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, will go through a pregame workout before the Giants determine his status, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Final word on Slayton's status should arrive around 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Giants will reveal their inactive list. The Giants are already missing top wideout Kenny Golladay (knee) for the Week 6 contest, while Slayton's availability appears to be less locked in than rookie Kadarius Toney's (ankle), who is listed as questionable but expected to play. Slayton has missed the Giants' past two games with the hamstring injury.

Appears truly questionable
Slayton (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duggan suggests Slayton, LT Andrew Thomas (foot) and LG Ben Bredeson (hand) are truly questionable, whereas WR Kadarius Toney (ankle, questionable) has the official designation but is expected to play. Slayton missed the past two games with hamstring injuries, in which time Kenny Golladay hyperextended his knee and Toney nearly had a 200-yard game. It makes for an interesting situation moving forward, but Toney and Sterling Shepard are safer bets than Slayton to see targets this week,…read more

Analysis: The same goes for Sterling Shepard, whose absence has freed up slot work for first-round pick Kadarius Toney. Slayton's missing perimeter snaps have mostly gone to a mix of John Ross, Collin Johnson and C.J. Board, with Ross coming on strong last week to put up 3-78-1 in his first game back from IR. In any case, Slayton and Shepard will shoot for a Week 6 return against the Rams.

Analysis: Slayton and Sterling Shepard, both dealing with hamstring injuries, were at least able to do side-field work during Wednesday's practice, perhaps taking a step forward in the recovery process.

Analysis: This news hardly is surprising considering Slayton was unable to practice throughout the week, and the same goes for Sterling Shepard, who will sit out due to a hamstring injury of his own.

Analysis: The same goes for fellow Giants WR Sterling Shepard, who also left last week's game with a hamstring injury.

Finds end zone in loss
Slayton secured three of six targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 30-29 loss to Washington on Thursday night.
Analysis: While his reception and receiving yardage tallies were nothing to write home about, Slayton turned a pedestrian fantasy effort into a solid one with a 33-yard scoring grab in the latter portion of the third quarter. The third-year speedster has been used frequently downfield through the first two games, as his 19.8 yards per reception thus far will attest to. He'll look to continue adding to his collection of chunk gains in a favorable Week 3 home matchup against the Falcons a week from Sunday.

Shows chops as deep threat Sunday
Slayton caught three of seven targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The third-year receiver did most of his damage on the Giants' opening drive, hauling in a 42-yard pass from Daniel Jones, but Slayton was mostly quiet after that. Sterling Shepard was Jones' primary option in this one, with Kenny Golladay posting similar numbers to Slayton, and 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney should also factor into the mix eventually after a shaky NFL debut.

To be No. 3 WR on Sunday
Slayton will serve as the Giants' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday versus the Broncos with Kenny Golladay (hamstring) cleared to play.
Analysis: Most of the Giants' receiving corps tended to injuries during Week 1 prep, including WRs Golladay and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and TEs Evan Engram (calf), Kyle Rudolph (foot) and Kaden Smith (knee). However, all of them but Engram will be available Sunday, ensuring Slayton will be in his customary third receiver role. Through two pro campaigns, Slayton has averaged six targets per game, which has resulted in 98 catches, 1,491 yards and 11 touchdowns in 30 appearances.

Eventually, he was deemed questionable to return and then ruled out entirely, finishing the contest with one catch (on two targets) for six yards and a seven-yard carry.

Questionable to return Sunday
Slayton suffered an ankle or foot injury during Sunday's preseason contest versus the Patriots, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Slayton had his left foot taped up during the first half of this game but was able to return. Now that he's questionable to get back on the field, though, he likely will end his day with one catch (on two targets) for six yards and one carry for seven yards. Because Slayton is the second key skill player to suffer an injury Sunday -- Evan Engram was ruled out with a calf issue -- the third-year wide receiver isn't a prime candidate to see action again until Week 1 against the Broncos.

Gets target competition in Round 1
The Giants took Kadarius Toney with the 20th overall pick Thursday night, making for a more crowded receiving corps.
Analysis: Slayton was already getting squeezed by the Kenny Golladay signing, and now he has another ostensibly prominent receiver with whom to compete. Sterling Shepard and tight end Evan Engram are around, too, and tailback Saquon Barkley will see looks out of the backfield, making it hard to see Slayton increasing his target share this year.

Modest Year 2
After a promising rookie season, Slayton put up a modest 96-50-751-3 line in 16 games.
Analysis: Slayton's yards per target dropped from 8.8 in 2019 to 7.8 in 2020, and he made fewer big plays despite an extra 12 targets. He also dropped five passes after not dropping a single one as a rookie. Slayton is still the Giants' best deep threat, and he should be more productive if the offensive line gives Daniel Jones -- or whoever is under center in 2021 -- more time to look down the field.

Inefficient with eight targets
Slayton caught two of eight targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Slayton finished with at least seven targets for the ninth time this season, but he recorded a measly 3.25 yards per target in this contest as he and Daniel Jones failed to connect on a consistent basis. He'll look to finish the season strong next week against the Cowboys, whom he put up an 8-129-0 line against in Week 5.

Leads team in receiving
Slayton had four receptions (nine targets) for 74 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Slayton continues to lead the Giants in targets despite the recent return of Sterling Shepard. The 2019 fifth-round pick has seen his production come to a screeching halt after a solid start to his sophomore campaign due to the recent drop-off in quarterback play. Colt McCoy is a decent veteran backup, but he lacks physical skills and is not going to light up the stat sheet. Despite generating his first relevant fantasy line in recent weeks, Slayton is going to need Daniel Jones (hamstring) to…read more

Team-high eight targets in Week 14
Slayton caught three of eight targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Slayton was the most frequent target for quarterback Daniel Jones, as no other Giant had more than five passes thrown his way. Despite all that volume, Slayton finished third on the team in receiving yards. This was a step in the right direction after Slayton caught just one pass for 14 yards over the previous two games, and the explosive receiver will look to build on this effort in Week 15 against the Browns.

Dismal production against Seattle
Slayton caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: The Giants defense won this game for the team, as quarterback Colt McCoy couldn't get anything going Sunday and finished with just 105 passing yards. Golden Tate and Evan Engram were the only pass catchers to record more than one reception, and neither player surpassed 32 receiving yards. Slayton thrives off the deep ball, and there's no recent evidence that McCoy can make those throws. It should be a favorable Week 14 matchup against the Cardinals, and Daniel Jones (hamstring) could be back in…read more

Cleared for Week 13
Slayton (shoulder/foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton and Sterling Shepard (toe/shoulder) were both limited in practices Wednesday through Friday while they battled a pair of injuries apiece, but neither wideout will end up taking a designation into the weekend. With that in mind, Slayton looks poised to play a normal allotment of snaps, but the second-year player has been a risky fantasy option this season, turning in three games with 90-plus yards and three with 25 yards or fewer. Moreover, Colt McCoy is expected to step in at…read more

Limited at practice
Slayton (shoulder/foot) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Slayton is listed with the two injuries that he's tended to at times this season, meaning his lack of full practice reps may be maintenance-related. Despite logging a significant snap count in most games this season, his production has been sporadic, with just two outings of 50-plus yards over the last six games and just one touchdown in 10 appearances since Week 1.

No catches in win over Bengals
Slayton failed to haul in either of his targets Sunday against the Bengals.
Analysis: Daniel Jones (hamstring) narrowly missed Slayton on a deep throw just off his fingertips that might have gone for a touchdown had he hung on. Once Jones got hurt, there was little chance for Slayton to make an impact playing with backup Colt McCoy. Slayton has a great matchup Week 13 in Seattle, but if Jones can't go, Slayton makes for a risky start with McCoy under center.

Slayton recorded five receptions on seven targets for 93 yards in Week 10 against the Eagles.
Analysis: Slayton made an immediate impact for the Giants, recording a 22-yard reception on the second play of the game. He was then forced off the field due to a shoulder injury but returned to provide explosive gains of 16 and 40 yards to help clinch a victory in the fourth quarter. Slayton now has eight receptions of greater than 20 yards and two for 40 or more yards on the season. Even with the splash play ability, Slayton has been a boom or bust option, surpassing 90 yards in three contests but…read more

Slayton left Sunday's game versus the Eagles due to a shoulder injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: After landing on his left arm at the end of a 22-yard catch on the first drive of the contest, Slayton went to the sideline and soon after to the locker room. He was deemed questionable to return, but in the meantime, Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Evan Engram will be the Giants' primary pass catchers.

Bottoms out against Washington
Slayton caught his lone target for six yards and added a two-yard carry in Sunday's 23-20 win over Washington.
Analysis: Perhaps with Golden Tate (coach's decision) benched, Washington was able to key in on shutting down Slayton, allowing Daniel Jones to target 10 other pass catchers. Nevertheless, it's disappointing that the second-year wide receiver finished with season lows in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Slayton always has big-play potential and could be the best wideout on the team, but he's otherwise a replacement-level fantasy asset in games where he doesn't score a touchdown, averaging 2.7…read more

Catches five passes
Slayton caught five of nine targets for 56 yards in Monday night's 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Slayton made a great fourth-down reception to extend New York's final offensive drive, but his night was otherwise marred by failed deep connections with Daniel Jones. The speedster never got on the same page as his quarterback, missing a few big-play opportunities in the process. Despite those disappointments, Slayton still trailed only Sterling Shepard in receptions while nearly hitting double digits in targets. That involvement bodes well ahead of Week 9's matchup against Washington.

Quiet in loss to Eagles
Slayton caught two of four targets for 23 yards Thursday in the Giants' 22-21 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Slayton's practice activity heading into the contest was limited to due a foot issue, but being shadowed by top Eagles corner Darius Slay for most of the night likely hindered the wideout's production more than the injury. In addition, the return of Sterling Shepard (toe) from a four-game layoff left fewer looks available for Slayton, who had averaged 7.2 targets per game during the former's absence. Slayton's fantasy outlook won't be any rosier in the Giants' next game on Nov. 2, when he'll be…read more

Analysis: For the second week in a row, Slayton's practice reps were capped due to a foot injury, but the issue won't affect his ability to suit up for game day.

Analysis: Slayton maintained his listing in the first two days of the week, but the Giants actually held a walkthrough Tuesday, which may indicate the second-year wideout is attempting to gut out a foot injury. He played through the concern this past Sunday against Washington, tallying a season-low two catches for 41 yards. Fortunately for Slayton, he salvaged his stat line with a 23-yard TD.

The second-year pro did see his lowest snap share (83 percent) and target count of the season, so it's clear that the foot issue limited him, which makes it encouraging to see the Giants expect he would've practiced to begin this week.

Gets into end zone Week 6
Slayton brought in two of four targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 20-19 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday. He also lost three yards on his sole rush.
Analysis: Slayton looked like he might be headed to a bigger day when he notched a 23-yard scoring grab in the left corner of the end zone late in the first quarter. However, the second-year speedster ultimately logged his lowest target count of the season, which led to his second-fewest receiving yards of the campaign. The Auburn product's visit to the end zone was his first since Week 1, and he'll look to repeat the feat at the expense of the Eagles in a Thursday night Week 7 battle.

Suiting up Sunday
Slayton (foot) is listed as active Sunday against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: After a week in which he was listed as limited on every practice report due to a foot injury, Slayton is upholding coach Joe Judge's expectation from Friday that the second-year wide receiver will play Week 6. On the season, Slayton has taken full advantage of his 40 targets through five games, putting up a respectable 23-365-2 line. He'll look to add to it versus a Washington defense that has allowed 8.95 YPT (12th-highest figure in the NFL) to wide receivers in 2020.

Analysis: Coach Joe Judge said Friday that Slayton that should be able to suit up. The second-year pro has emerged as the focal point of a struggling passing game, leading the team in every relevant receiving stat while accounting for 23.4 percent of the targets.

Big day in loss to Dallas
Slayton caught eight of 11 targets for 129 yards in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The second-year receiver was, by far, Daniel Jones' favorite option on the afternoon, as no other Giant saw more than five targets or hauled in more than 42 receiving yards. Slayton's had to make do with yardage rather than scores lately, however -- Jones has only two passing TDs on the year so far, and Slayton caught them both back in the Giants' opener. The duo will look to hook up in the end zone again next week at home against Washington.

Slayton caught three of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Despite the modest numbers, Slayton was the Giants' leading receiver on the afternoon, and only tight end Evan Engram saw more targets from Daniel Jones. Slayton has produced nearly identical numbers the last three games after his huge performance in the opener, but he could be in line for a rebound in Week 5 against a Cowboys defense that just surrendered 49 points to the Browns.

The second-year speedster also fumbled on the 49ers' 19-yard line after a 22-yard reception just after the two-minute warning in the second half, but New York was completely out of the game by that point.

Musters up 33 yards
Slayton hauled in three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Slayton was outstanding in Week 1 with a 6-101-2 line, but he registered a floor game in Week 2, as the Giants struggled to generate much offense. The 2019 fifth-round pick is a boom-or-bust player by nature of his deep targets, but it is a bit concerning that he only received two targets before the Giants' final drive. He'll look for a correction next week when the 49ers come to town.

Slayton caught six of nine targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.

The second-year duo first connected on a 41-yard touchdown to start the second quarter, then finished the game with a seven-yard score in the fourth.

Analysis: The hamstring ailment sidelined Slayton for Weeks 1 and 2 but didn't seem to affect him thereafter. He quickly emerged as a downfield weapon in a part-time role, earning a starting job and heavy snap counts by mid-October. The fifth-round pick ultimately averaged 50.1 snaps and 6.0 targets over 14 games, despite making an early exit from Week 16 with a minor knee injury.

Slayton played more than 69 percent of offensive snaps in those five games but played his lowest snap share of the season (29 percent) versus Washington compared to Latimer's 59-percent share.

His visit to the end zone in this one came from five yards out in the third quarter. Regardless of whether he's catching balls from Eli Manning for a third straight game or from Daniel Jones (ankle), Slayton will remain a threat to find the end zone in Washington in Week 16.

Wide receiver coach Tyke Tolbert suggested Slayton would still be a featured part of the offense following the return of Golden Tate (concussion) to the starting lineup, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. "He's going to be the same factor he's always been."
Analysis: There's a lot working against the narrative Tolbert suggested, starting first and foremost with the return of both Tate and Sterling Shepard, the latter of whom made his first appearance last Sunday against the Packers after a multi-week absence due to ongoing concussion symptoms. While Slayton was still able to record at least seven targets for the third consecutive game even with Shepard around, those opportunities could vanish with the news that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) will…read more

Nabs six passes
Slayton caught six of nine passes for 44 yards during Sunday's 31-13 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Slayton, getting the start for Golden Tate (concussion), enjoyed his third consecutive game with at least seven targets. He and rookie Daniel Jones seem to have a strong rapport, and Jones looked the fellow rookie's way early in the first quarter to convert a key fourth down. Slayton had seven targets in Week 12 even with the Giants healthy at receiver, so he should get some opportunities irrespective of Tate's health in Week 14 against the Eagles.

Analysis: Fellow wide receiver Sterling Shepard returned from a concussion and led the Giants with nine targets, but Slayton led the team in receiving yards and tied with Golden Tate for second in targets with seven. While Shepard is another mouth to feed, it appears Slayton has emerged as a legitimate weapon for the Giants.
