Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Ashton Dulin

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is expected to remain a starter despite the addition of first-round pick Malik Nabers, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan notes that while Slayton has expressed frustration about his current contract status, the pass-catcher is expected to open the 2024 campaign as New York's No. 2 receiver behind Nabers. Such an alignment would push Jalin Hyatt into the No. 3 role, at least to start the year. Isaiah Hodgins, Isaiah McKenzie, and Gunner Olszewski would round out the depth chart. With uncertainty at quarterback and increased competition in the passing game, Slayton isn't a very enticing name for the 2024 fantasy football season. In all likelihood, he'll open the year on the fringe of rosters and waiver wires in most 12-team redraft formats.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (knee) suffered a torn ACL during training camp practice on Wednesday, according to a league source. Dulin, who had worked with the second-team offense in the team's preseason opener last week against the Buffalo Bills, had to be carted off the field and will now miss the entire 2023 season. Dulin's injury is a blow to Indy's receiver depth, as he was competing for the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver spot this summer in camp while also being a core special-teamer. The 26-year-old caught a career-high 15 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown in 12 games (two starts) in 2022. With Dulin now out for the year, Mike Strachan and rookie Josh Downs will now be the prime candidates for the fourth receiver job for the Colts.
