Need a wide receiver sleeper for Week 10?


Darius Slayton might just be the sneaky plug that helps you steal a win this week.


He’s available in 62% of leagues, which means there’s a good chance he’s sitting on your waiver wire right now. And while we’re at it — if you need a streamer at other positions, Jaxson Dart is a terrific quarterback option, and Theo Johnson is a sneaky tight end play.

🟡 Darius Slayton Fantasy Football Projection

Expect ~9–13 PPR points on 6–9 very nice targets (around 3–5 catches for 45–70 yards and 0–1 touchdowns).


FLOOR: 5–7 points if New York spreads the ball around and Slayton’s target count dips.


CEILING: 16–18 points if this game turns into a mini-shootout and he hits on a deep shot or scores.

💰 DFS Angle

Slayton profiles as a boom-or-bust GPP dart.


You can pair him with Jaxson Dart as a salary-friendly stack or double up (Dart + Wan’Dale + Slayton) for a full game stack.


Bears bring-backs worth targeting: Rome Odunze or DJ Moore.


Deeper dart: Colston Loveland or Olamide Zaccheaus.


Best used in lineups betting on 30+ Dart pass attempts and at least one explosive Slayton connection.

🟢 Game Environment

The Giants are 3-point road underdogs with a 22.0-point implied total — a balanced setup but one with hidden upside.


More importantly, Giants @ Bears carries a 47.5 over/under, one of the healthier totals on the Week 10 slate. If the Giants exceed expectations, this game could quietly turn into a fantasy football shootout.

🟠 Darius Slayton’s Recent Form

Over the past three games without Malik Nabers:

  • 7.3 PPR points per game

  • 6.0 targets per game

  • 3.3 catches for 39.7 yards


Week-by-week:

  • Week 5: 6.1 points on 6 targets

  • Week 8: 4.6 points on 5 targets

  • Week 9: 11.2 points on 7 targets


He’s seeing roughly 19% of team targets, putting him squarely on the WR4/Flex radar with room to spike if volume or touchdowns tick up.

🐻 Matchup vs. the Bears

Through eight games, the Bears have been quietly generous to opposing wideouts:

  • 7th-most WR yards allowed

  • 2nd-most WR touchdowns allowed

  • Most PPR points per catch (3.49)


In fact, 11 wide receivers have already topped 10+ PPR points against Chicago this year — and seven of them have gone for 17+ (including Amon-Ra St. Brown, Chris Olave, Tee Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase).


If you’re looking for a data-driven dart throw, Darius Slayton checks every box.

💡 Final Take

Darius Slayton is a boom-or-bust flex in redraft leagues and a cheap DFS leverage play in what could turn into one of Week 10’s sneakiest shootouts.


He’s not safe — but that’s what makes him dangerous.
