Slayton remains with the Giants on a solid three-year deal after leading the team in receiving in four of his six years with the franchise. Even so, the speedster has peaked at 50 receptions (twice) and 770 yards during that time as a primary deep threat, leaving his fantasy value in the WR4 range for fantasy managers in deep leagues.

Slayton, 28, expects to garner attention from teams that need to add speed to their roster. He led the Giants in receiving in four of his six seasons in New York, with 21 career touchdowns. In the Giants’ Week 5 win over Seattle this past season, with rookie sensation Malik Nabers sidelined due to a concussion, Slayton had eight catches and 122 receiving yards (both season highs). Slayton said his goal is to land with a winner, “somewhere where they’re striving to be competitive and that the goal is to win.”

Slayton attempted to make the most of a season where he took a backseat to both Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson. The sixth-year vet caught 39 passes for 573 yards and two touchdowns on the season but enjoyed a few splash weeks in games where Nabers was sidelined. Those strong few weeks made up most of his production on the year, as Slayton managed just 10 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown in his final eight games. Slayton seems unlikely to return to the Giants after he voiced frustration over his contract last offseason. He could help several teams as a field stretcher who is capable of more when called upon, but he’ll be hard to trust in fantasy as anything more than a late-round dart throw who is probably best suited for best ball leagues.

Operating as the team’s No. 3 wideout, Slayton doesn’t have much of a path to consistent fantasy production in the New York offense. With only five receptions over his past three games, Slayton can be safely left on waiver wires ahead of the Giants’ Week 16 game against the Falcons.
