The Giants were down two of their top three pass-catchers, which allowed preseason hero Darius Slayton to blow up for the second time in the last three games. Against the Jets, Slayton corralled 10-of-14 targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns. It’s clear Danny Dimes and Slayton built some chemistry in the preseason and it’s clearly translated to the regular season.
Unfortunately for those targeting the wideout on the waiver wire, the Giants have a Week 11 bye week. This will give ample time for Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard to heal up and return. However, there are whispers that the Giants might do the right thing and shutdown the oft-concussed Shepard. If so, Slayton would be a perfect stash over his bye week for the stretch run.
The rookie from Auburn has balled out when given the opportunity, so hopefully the opportunities will continue for Dimes’ favorite target.
