Impact Starting QB Tyrod Taylor exited the contest with a rib cage injury in the second quarter and didn't return, resulting in the Giants turning to their ground attack almost exclusively for the remainder of the game. Though Slayton lost a yard on his lone catch, he was also the only Giants wide receiver to haul in a pass in the ugly offensive display -- in fact, Wan'Dale Robinson was the only other wideout to see a target for the G-Men, with running back Saquon Barkley leading the team with five targets and three catches that netted zero yards. Both Taylor and Daniel Jones (neck) are uncertain for a Week 9 game in Las Vegas, and if the Giants again need to turn to undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito under center, Slayton and the team's pass-catching corps as a whole could again struggle. Even if Taylor or Jones is able to play, Slayton doesn't inspire much confidence in fantasy given that he hasn't caught more than four passes or tallied more than 69 yards in any of his seven games so far this season and has yet to score a touchdown.
