Giants' Darius Slayton focusing on confidence

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton said he's been focused on his confidence this offseason.

What It Means:

“That’s one thing I’ve really been focused on this offseason,” Slayton said. “Running routes and catching the ball, just playing with a tremendous amount of confidence. My confidence is something that built as the year went on last year. Hopefully, this year I’ll be able to hit it Week 1.” Slayton didn't make his NFL debut until Week 3 due to a hamstring issue, but he immediately showed off his deep-threat ability with catches of 46 and 21 yards in his first game. By Week 6, the fifth-round pick had earned a starting job and he finished the year as the Giants' leader in both receiving yards (740) and touchdowns (8). Slayton posted two 120-yard games and three multi-touchdown performances along the way. He ranked 15th in average depth of target (14.0 yards) out of 127 players with at least 50 targets. Slayton is expected to work with Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate in three-wide sets again in 2020.

Slayton is the WR52 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models project him for 84.8 targets, 48.5 receptions, 693.6 yards, and 4.1 touchdowns.
