Drops are the story of Darius Slayton's 2025. He ran a genuine full-time deep role for the Giants, 81 percent of the snaps, a 13.4-yard aDOT in the 84th percentile, 14.5 yards a catch with above-average work after it, yet he finished about 20 points under his expected total in large part because he dropped 7.9 percent of his targets, the eighth-worst rate among qualified receivers. One touchdown on 63 targets did the rest of the damage. His weekly floor was oddly sturdy, a 5.2-point median with only 29 percent of his production packed into his top two weeks, an unusually flat distribution for a downfield receiver. The consensus projects 84 half-PPR points and WR79 on the theory that the volume holds and the touchdowns regress upward, and at a draft cost of 285 that projection costs nothing to test. He's 29 and carries a questionable tag with no missed games expected. For drafters who want a boring last pick with a real snap count attached, Slayton is about as cheap as an every-down receiver gets.
