The Giants don’t have a No. 1 wide receiver.

Or do they?

The negative has been stated so many times now that it is accepted as fact and serves as fuel for frequent speculation: Should the Giants trade for a disgruntled Stefon Diggs? Should the Giants sign aging free agent DeAndre Hopkins? How many catches will tight end Darren Waller make in his first season as the Giants’ de facto go-to receiver?

All the while the underappreciated Darius Slayton is lying in the weeds, letting the spotlight burn brighter within his own position group on the health of Sterling Shepard and Wan’Dale Robinson, the speed of Parris Campbell and Jalin Hyatt, the ascension of Isaiah Hodgins.
