What It Means:

Slayton was close to returning last game and he was active at practice every day this week, so he seems to have a solid chance at returning for Sunday's matchup. Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are both out and Sterling Shepard tweaked his hamstring on Thursday, so Slayton may be thrust into a large role in Week 7.

The Panthers are allowing the fifth-fewest Adjusted Passing Net Expected Points per play and they rank 11th in FanDuel points allowed per game to the wide receiver position. numberFire's models currently expect Shepard to lead the Giants with 5.2 targets and Slayton to be close behind with 4.9 targets. Slayton has a $5,500 salary on FanDuel in Week 7.
