The Giants might lack high-end wide receiver talent, but Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins could be in for big games this week.

They will see the majority of targets, and the Vikings are giving up the third-most fantasy points per game to the position.

Should Slayton and Hodgins be spoken for, you can turn your attention to the Ravens. Lamar Jackson remains sidelined, but we expect to see Tyler Huntley under center, and he’s navigated this offense pretty well in the past. Few people will be interested in Demarcus Robinson because they expect heavy rushing volume from Baltimore, but the veteran receiver has averaged just over six targets per game over his past five, and he has posted at least five catches per game in his past three. Atlanta’s pass defense ranks 30th overall in DVOA and 21st against the opposition’s No. 1 receiver.

You can also look at Ravens slot-receiver James Proche. The team just lost Devin Duvernay for the season, and the only guys backing up Robinson are DeSean Jackson and Sammy Watkins. No one is putting their eggs into those baskets, so Proche against Atlanta, which ranks 23rd in DVOA against the opposing slot-receiver, becomes the target.

If digging deep, be careful of the players you use. Be sure their matchup is favorable and be sure they have a clear path to targets. Banking on a guy who catches just one pass for a 40-yard touchdown is nice, but if he is held out of the end zone, you’re not getting any value.
