Big day in loss to Dallas Slayton caught eight of 11 targets for 129 yards in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The second-year receiver was, by far, Daniel Jones' favorite option on the afternoon, as no other Giant saw more than five targets or hauled in more than 42 receiving yards. Slayton's had to make do with yardage rather than scores lately, however -- Jones only has two passing TDs on the year so far, and Slayton caught them both back in the Giants' opener. The duo will look to hook up in the end zone again next week at home against Washington.

Leading receiver against Rams Slayton caught three of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Rams.

Impact Despite the modest numbers, Slayton was the Giants' leading receiver on the afternoon, and only tight end Evan Engram saw more targets from Daniel Jones. Slayton has produced nearly identical numbers the last three games after his huge performance in the opener, but he could be in line for a rebound in Week 5 against a Cowboys defense that just surrendered 49 points to the Browns.

Leads pass catchers in loss Slayton brought in three of seven targets for 53 yards and lost a fumble in the Giants' 36-9 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Slayton paced the Giants in receiving yards on the afternoon, although given the pedestrian performance of the offense as a whole, that wasn't much of an auspicious accomplishment. The second-year speedster also fumbled on the 49ers' 19-yard line after a 22-yard reception just after the two-minute warning in the second half, but New York was completely out of the game by that point. Despite the underwhelming fantasy day Sunday, Slayton still figures to see an uptick in opportunity in coming weeks while Sterling Shepard (toe) remains sidelined. Slayton will look to up his production at the expense of the Rams in a Week 4 road battle.

Musters up 33 yards Slayton hauled in three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.

Impact Slayton was outstanding in Week 1 with a 6-101-2 line, but he registered a floor game in Week 2, as the Giants struggled to generate much offense. The 2019 fifth-round pick is a boom-or-bust player by nature of his deep targets, but it is a bit concerning that he only received two targets before the Giants' final drive. He'll look for a correction next week when the 49ers come to town.

Bright spot in defeat Slayton caught six of nine targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Slayton offered a silver lining to an otherwise underwhelming performance from the Giants, as he continued to show great chemistry with quarterback Daniel Jones. The second-year duo first connected on a 41-yard touchdown to start the second quarter, then finished the game with a seven-yard score in the fourth. Overall, Slayton led New York in all major receiving categories and looked like the team's best perimeter option. After nearly 50 catches, 750 yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie, big-play Slayton is certainly one to watch as he grows with Jones in Year 2.
