Catchless to conclude campaign
Slayton did not catch his only target in a 20-13 Week 18 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. He finished the regular season with 39 receptions (on 70 targets) for 573 yards and two touchdowns along with two rushes for 17 yards.
ANALYSIS
In what may have been Slayton's final game with the Giants, he actually led the team's wideouts with 48 offensive snaps but had just one pass thrown his way by QB Drew Lock. The lack of production has been typical for the veteran wideout of late. After catching four passes for 108 yards against Pittsburgh in Week 8, Slayton didn't exceed three receptions or 49 yards in any of his final eight contests. He came into 2024 having paced New York in receiving yards each of the previous two campaigns, but it was clear that there was going to be a changing of the guard after the Giants drafted Malik Nabers with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 Draft. The passing of the torch did indeed take place -- Nabers enjoyed a massive rookie campaign, catching 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns -- and Slayton slipped to No. 3 in the wideout pecking order behind Wan'Dale Robinson, who ranked second on New York in targets, catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Slayton will be a free agent after the conclusion of the campaign and could seek to join a new organization with the Giants embarking upon a rebuild.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
Slayton's five years with the Giants have yielded four seasons in the range of 46-50 catches, 724-770 receiving yards and 15.0-15.7 yards per catch. That includes 2023, when he was stuck in an offense with terrible blocking and three different starting quarterbacks. Slayton led the team in receiving for a second straight year (and fourth time overall), with the final four weeks accounting for 41.7 percent of his yardage and three of his four TDs. Despite the strong finish, it may be difficult for the 2019 fifth-round pick to match his past success after the Giants selected WR Malik Nabers sixth overall in the 2024 Draft. While Slayton is still likely to have a starting job, there's a good chance Nabers almost instantly becomes the best WR and strongest target-earner Slayton has ever shared a field with.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![NYG](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/football/100NYG.png?v=10)
Could land Mooney-like contract
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com believes Slayton will have a robust market in free agency and could sign a contract similar to Darnell Mooney's three-year, $39 million deal.
ANALYSIS
Like Mooney did last offseason, Slayton offers speed on the outside and could entice suitors who believe Slayton could take the next step in a better offense. Slayton struggled in the underwhelming Giants offense in 2024, posting 573 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 16 games. He has recorded at least 724 receiving yards in four of six NFL seasons, but never more than 770. Fowler mentions Carolina as a potential landing spot for Slayton.
