New York Giants DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol. Meanwhile, receiver/kick returner Gunner Olszewski (groin) will be out for weeks. Slayton is officially questionable now for the team's Week 2 contest on the road in Washington against the division-rival Commanders after he caught three of his four targets for only 27 yards in a 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 on Sunday while playing 72 percent of the offensive snaps. The 27-year-old is a starter alongside rookie Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, but Slayton's fantasy ceiling and floor remain extremely low in a Giants offense that continued to look terrible in the season opener. If Slayton cannot clear the concussion protocol by this weekend, Jalin Hyatt is the best bet to take his spot as the G-Men's WR3 against Houston.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was a non-factor in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, finishing with 26 receiving yards on three receptions and no touchdowns. Slayton also muffed a punt as a last-minute replacement as the punt returner when Gunner Olszewski was injured in pre-game warmups. Slayton's role as a receiver looks to be diminishing with the limited targets, as Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson will see the lion's share of the work this season. Fantasy managers are better off leaving Slayton on the bench unless injuries move him up the depth chart.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson turned in a solid performance in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, making six receptions for 44 yards. While Robinson didn't find the end zone, he was busy all game as he easily lead all receivers in targets with 12. Robinson also chipped in a 14-yard rush, showcasing his versatility and role as a gadget player in the Giants' offense. Despite his modest stat line, Robinson may turn into a PPR flex option heading into Week 2, especially with the Giants potentially leaning on him more.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers displayed promise in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, posting five receptions for 66 yards on seven targets. While he didn't find the end zone, Nabers showcased his ability to move the chains with two crucial catches for 25 yards. However, fantasy managers relying on him for a breakout week were left wanting more, as the Giants' red zone struggles kept him out of scoring opportunities. With a WR1 ceiling, Nabers remains a volume-based option moving forward, especially with a favorable matchup against a vulnerable Washington secondary in Week 2.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a quiet day in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, managing just 37 rushing yards on the ground and 15 receiving yards through four catches. Despite getting involved in the passing game, Singletary failed to find the end zone and was ultimately held in check by a stout Vikings defense. His 52 total yards won't win any matchups, but his consistent role in both facets of the offense is encouraging for PPR formats. Singletary could see an uptick in touches in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, but he is better off left on the bench now.
