WR Darius Slayton: Falling

Slayton has been a disappointment through the first two games of the season.

While Jones has a 104.3 passer rating when targeting Slayton, the third-year receiver already has three drops through two games, including the aforementioned dropped touchdown against Washington.

Through two weeks, Slayton has caught six of his 13 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown, and remains near the top of Jones’ target hierarchy.

However, if the NY Giants’ passing offense is going to take flight, Slayton is going to need to be far more consistent and show more consistent hands than he has so far in this young season.
