Giants head coach Joe Judge expects WR Darius Slayton to play Sunday against the Washington Football Team, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.

Slayton continues to be a threat in the Giants passing game, but Daniel Jones has been under pressure more than majority of QBs in the NFL. WFT has a fearsome front seven that will make life tough for Jones, and more than likely cap Slayton's and the offense's upside.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard, knocked out yesterday with a toe injury, is believed to be dealing with turf toe, source said.

He’ll have an MRI today, but that’s an ailment that generally causes a WR to miss some time, Rapoport went on to say. Looks like Slayton and Tate could be the Giants top two wideouts. The Giants are also dealing with the loss of RB Saquon Barkley.

Sterling Shepard won't return to Sunday's contest in Chicago due to a toe injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Shepard got hurt late in the first half, limping to the sideline and reaching at his left foot before limping to the locker room, per Leonard. After attempting to run a route on the Giants' first play of the third quarter, Shepard again made a visit to the locker room, and the team ruled him out a short time later. The Giants would turn to Slayton, Tate, Ratley and Board to handle WR reps if Shepard has to miss any time.

Golden Tate: If, as expected, the Giants employ two-tight end sets more frequently under OC Jason Garrett, a wide receiver’s playing time is going to get slashed. Tate figures to be the odd man out, since he primarily plays in the slot in three-receiver sets. That may limit Tate’s production, but he should remain a dependable outlet for Jones, particularly on third down.

The story went on to say Slayton was a pleasant surprise last season, as a fifth-round pick who emerged as a legitimate threat due to his speed. Slayton may not get 84 targets again if the rest of the Giants’ weapons stay healthy, but he remains the offense’s lone deep threat. The story added there will likely be some quiet games, but expect Slayton to provide a big-play element to the offense. Shepard looks to be the team's WR1.

Sterling Shepard has torched every Giants corner in camp according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. "The only lingering concern is if he’ll be able to avoid another concussion when the season starts," wrote Duggan.

Duggan started the WR breakdown of his Friday article by saying the depth chart remains intact. He added that Golden Tate has the ability to play longer than most wide receivers and Darius Slayton is not expected to have a sophomore slump despite a quiet camp.

There has been a groundswell of praise for Shepard during camp. His health, as well as Tate's, are key to second year QB Daniel Jones' growth. Slayton was his favorite target as a whole in 2019, but his targets dropped when one or both of Shepard and Tate were healthy. The trio should be targets at their lower ADPs. Do not expect them to stay low for very long as draft season continues to press on.

Corey Coleman took the top off the defense twice, including once against top cornerback James Bradberry.

But as the story said, Coleman is a tier below the Giants’ top three receivers but, as a former first-round pick playing for his fourth team, has a higher profile than the many undrafted receivers bidding for a roster spot. He has cut around the field with no hint of last year’s ACL surgery.
