Slayton is set to remain the Giants' top option on the outside Sunday against the Bengals, as Malik Nabers (concussion) has been ruled out, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Slayton stepped up with 122 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Nabers' absence against the Seahawks in Week 5, matching the former's receiving yardage total from the previous four games combined. Slayton is well positioned to make the most of the additional volume in a primetime matchup against a struggling Bengals defense. Jalin Hyatt likely will get the majority of reps on the outside opposite Slayton, while Wan'Dale Robinson will continue to man the slot.
