Giants WR Slayton sees himself as possible WR1

New York Giants wide receiver DARIUS SLAYTON said recently that he believes he can be the go-to target in a wide receiving corps that is generally seen as lacking a trueMore WR1 option. Slayton, who re-signed with the Giants this offseason, is part of a crowded wideout room in New York that also includes STERLING SHEPARD, WAN’DALE ROBINSON, ISAIAH HODGINS, PARRIS CAMPBELL, JAMISON CROWDER, and third-round pick JALIN HYATT (among others).

Around the NFL: Giants wide receivers

Looking at the Giants offense, I'm perplexed as to who their top wide receiver will be. They have a lot of different guys who have done stuff in the past, and several guys who they're hoping will do stuff in the future. But hard to be confident any will do it this year.   more »

Giants wideouts on the hot seat

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll sent a message recently about some of the higher-profile receivers on the roster. Daboll said that the best players are going to get aMore chance to not only make the team, but to play and produce. Of note to fantasy owners are the three wideouts the coach did not name, including KENNY GOLLADAY, KADARIUS TONEY, and STERLING SHEPARD. The three unnamed wideouts have either dealt with ongoing injury issues or have simply been unimpressive throughout training camp and the preseason thus far. Less
